A couple of days before Eid, I went to buy henna for the girls in Karama. And found this little Pakistani supermarket with all Pakistani brands and foods! This one is close to the Bombay Chopatti in Karama, and there’s another one next to Ibrahimi Palace Restaurant in Karama. Haven’t been to the bigger one (next to Ibrahimi) but here are some shoddy cell-phone pics of the Apna Pakistan Supermarket.
Pakistani Junk Food! Fancy a Chilli Milli?
Olper's Milk and Everyday Milk Powder - guy at the counter says Everyday is one of the top selling items
Shezan, National, Ahmed, Mitchell's - all jams, dips, everything
United King fried vermicelli, enjoyed by Pakistanis esp. in Ramadan
Biscuit brands -- the taste is so nostalgic!
And lastly, the best part, the grand finale - (drumroll please) ---- SLIMS!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: I know pics are horrible, but they kinda give you an idea, no? Plus, try taking pics when the better half goes: “Chalo! You’re embarrassing us! Stop acting like you’ve never seen Slims before!”

Hide the sweets! Don’t let me see them!
I love love love this post and the pics! The shelves in small grocery stores are always an adventure!
Thank you so much! Yes, this little store is such a treasure island.
