Beautiful article.

Firstly I attracted to your post by the head picture where I read کریم ہوٹل

In Urdu. And when I opened your post, I read each and every word, and enjoyed every picture of your post.

It's always my dream to visit Dehli, especially old areas of dehli, which resemblance to Lahore too much, which is also my favorite city in Pakistan after my hometown Karachi. 

I love Mutton Qorma and everything which they have in thier menu ♥️

In future, InshaAllah when situation will be normalize between both countries, I have plan to visit Dehli with @Tushar_Suradkar Bhai, who promised me to let me visit all these areas, which I always saw on connect by him and other local guides.

Thank you @Anannya_19 for sharing such a great post.
