Girls at Dhabas

Okay, so you know how when we go to a restaurant or a cafe, we can order food and then sit at a table to eat it? Well, in some parts of the world, like Pakistan, there are places called dhabas where people can go to eat too.

Now, traditionally, these dhabas were mostly frequented by men because they were considered to be more of a "man's space" where guys could hang out, smoke hookah, and chat with their friends. But recently, some girls have started going to dhabas too!

At first, some people didn't like the idea of girls going to dhabas because they thought it wasn't safe or appropriate for them. But other people said that girls should be allowed to go wherever they want and enjoy the same things that guys do!

So now, there are some dhabas that welcome both guys and girls, and everyone can enjoy yummy food and good company together. And that's how girls at dhabas is becoming more accepted and normal!
