Within the past few years, the food industry has experienced enormous growth and with platforms like Foodies R Us, people have more awareness and are probing for more. This food fest is an extension of a movement that started over social media; it’s a testament of not only our love for food but a continuous commitment of providing the best & diverse food experience to the people. For this food fest, we have actually sat down with food enthusiasts, vendors and critics from across the city to select a versatile mix of contemporary, commercial and traditional food businesses to cater to all tastes. It’s going to be a good party in the park for all where we all come together for the love of food.” Coke Food Fest is hosted by Coca-Cola Pakistan and powered by Kashmir cooking oil and Banaspati.
