The Dark Secret of Wedding Food in Pakistan

Leftover wedding food in Pakistan | Midnight food trade Karachi | 3AM food collection in Pakistan


When the wedding lights go out in Karachi, a hidden trade quietly begins.
From the bustling halls of Korangi and Landhi to the narrow streets of Banaras, Kati Pahari, and Qasba Colony, untouched wedding food starts a journey few have ever seen.

At 3 AM, trucks and rickshaws move through dark alleys, collecting leftover biryani, qorma, naan, and desserts from wedding halls across the city. This food — once part of grand celebrations — is resold in small markets and roadside stalls by morning.

Some of it ends up in poor neighborhoods, where families wait for this food to arrive — not as leftovers, but as their only meal of the day.

This documentary reveals the hidden economy of Karachi’s midnight food network, where luxury meets survival. From Clifton’s grand weddings to the forgotten corners of Kati Pahari and Qasba Colony, it’s a shocking look at how one city’s celebration becomes another’s struggle.
