Pakistani food is a rich and flavorful cuisine that is known for its use of aromatic spices and intricate cooking techniques. The cuisine is a blend of regional cooking styles and flavors from across South, Central, and Western Asia. Pakistani cuisine is a concoction of Persian and Arab cuisine, with influences from Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East.

Meat, particularly red meat and chicken, is preferred in Pakistani cuisine, and every meal comes with a side of roti (flatbread) or rice. Yogurt-based dips called raita and salads are common sides, and vegetable curries are also popular, with okra, spinach, and eggplant being some of the commonly used vegetables.

Some of the most popular Pakistani dishes include biryani, a rice-based dish with meat or vegetables and spices, and kebabs, which are skewered meats that are marinated in a blend of spices.
