Bun kebabs are a signature in Pakistani metro cities like Karachi and Lahore, but they can be found all over Pakistan.

Another claim is that the bun kebab evolved from the vada pav, a fast food style sandwich native to the Indian city of Mumbai.

The chutney is made up from tamarind (imli), salt, cumin powder, whole red chillies, and/or raita in a grilled bun.
