For the greatest shopping Mall Pakistani style, head for the Qisa Khawani Bazar. As in most eastern bazaars, the shops of delicacies predominate, and here too you will find many colourful fruit shops displaying the glorious harvest of Peshawar’s orchards. You will be waylaid by the enticing smell of Peshawar’s unrivaled bread and justly celebrated "Kababs" and "tikkas" meat sizzling on hot coals, in the many wayside cafes.

Leather goods shops are the next most numerous selling that wonderful footwear, the Peshawari "chappals" or sandals, belts , holsters and bandoliers and a special variety of light but sturdy suitcases called " Yakhdaan".
