After a century still a place for great bargains and good quality merchandise whether food items vegetables or grocery. However meat is not that great. Lot of cleaning is required and some bad smells to be removed. You can get fruit and Chinese vegetables as well. There is a section of small animals like cats, dogs and birds also.

It's the historic market of karachi. But now it's too much crowdy

Good value for money. Fresh good quality produce. Lots of variety.

You'll get what you need, or close, at least. You'll also have a 10% chance of getting your stuff stolen or looted every time you walk on those streets. If that doesn't happen there's a high chance of getting ripped off by shop owners... So it nice to have someone you know there genuinely help you out.

It is a historical place.

The marketplace is congested, no parking and dirty but with these negatives the positive is the pricing which is very low compares to muhalla sellers.

With a real look, shopping experience is royal.

Such a pretty place of historical significance. Definitely a site to explore and photograph. You'll find all kind of spices in there. You might sight the veggies you never thought existed. You'll love the vibe in there.
