Tea is the most popular beverage in Pakistan. There are small restaurants which specifically serve tea only, vernacularly called ‘dhabas’. You can find dhabas of varying sizes everywhere around the country. Even while travelling by road, dhabas can be spotted on highways and suburbs. People of all ages have tea every evening with friends. Senior citizens as well as young people can be spotted crowding the dhabas from evening until late night.

This photograph shows a scene from a typical Pakistani dhaba where tea is being made and a customer eagerly waits.
