A food street is a street lined with many food stalls, restaurants, and other food shops, and typically pedestrianized. Food streets and food parks exist in several cities in Pakistan, and visiting them has become popular, with people using them as both formal and informal meeting areas.

This has been followed by Melody Food Street and the food street in Blue Area in Islamabad, Burns Road in Karachi, the food street near Ghantar Ghar in Peshawar, Qissa Kahwani Bazaar Food Street, Peshawar and a second food street in Lahore at Anarkali. In 2012, a new food street was inaugurated in Lahore near Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort. It was named Fort Road Food Street.
