* [[Chapati]] – Most common bread made in urban homes, where a tandoor is not available. Chapatis are cooked over a flat or slightly convex dark colored pan known as 'tava'. Chapatis are made of [[whole-wheat flour]] and are thin and unleavened. [[Tortilla]]s are probably the most common analogue to chapatis, though chapatis are slightly thicker. A variant, known as 'romali roti' ({{lit|Handkerchief bread}}), is very thin and very large.
* [[Makki ki roti/ja|マカイ・キ・ロティ]] – 純粋な砕いたトウモロコシで作られた、黄色がかった黄金色のチャパティである。主に「[[saag/ja|サーグ]]」と呼ばれる伝統的な冬のカレーと一緒に供される。

* [[Naan]] – In [[Urdu]], the national language of [[Pakistan]], the word [[Naan]] means bread. Unlike chapatis, naans are slightly thicker, typically leavened with [[yeast]] and mainly made with white [[flour]]. Some varieties like Roghani and Peshwari naan may also be sprinkled with [[Sesame|sesame seeds]]. Naans are seldom, if ever, made at home since they require tandoor-based cooking and require prep work. Numerous varieties of plain, as well as stuffed naans are available throughout [[Pakistan]] and each region or city can have its own specialty. Naan is a versatile bread and is eaten with almost anything. For instance, 'saada naan' or 'plain naan' is often served with [[Paya (food)|Siri-Payay]] (cow's head and trotters) or [[Nihari]] (slow cooked beef stew) for breakfast in many parts of the country.
* [[Paratha]] – A flat, layered bread made with [[ghee]] or cooking oil and generally cooked on a 'tava'. However, a 'tandoor'-based version is also common in rural areas. Parathas are very similar to pastry dough. Parathas most likely originated in the [[Punjab region|Punjab]], where a heavy breakfast of parathas with freshly churned butter and buttermilk was commonly consumed by the farmers to prepare themselves for the hard day of work ahead. However, parathas are now a common breakfast element across the country. Along with the plain layered version, many stuffed versions, such as 'Aloo ka Paratha' (Potato stuffed paratha), 'Mooli ka Paratha' (Radish stuffed paratha), and 'Qeemah ka Paratha' (Ground meat stuffed paratha) are popular.
* [[Puri (food)|Puri]] – This is a breakfast bread made of white flour and fried. Typically eaten with sweet semolina [[Halva|halwa]] or gravy (made out of [[chickpea]]s and [[potato]]es). Puri is a fairly urban concept, not part of rural cuisine anywhere in [[Pakistan]]. However, Halwa Puri has now become a favored weekend or holiday breakfast in urban Pakistan, where it is sometimes sold in shift carts or in specialty breakfast shops.

* [[Roti]] – This bread is extremely popular all over Pakistan. Tandoori rotis are baked in a [[tandoor]], and are consumed with just about anything. In rural [[Pakistan]], many houses have their own tandoors, while the ones without it use a communal one. In urban [[Pakistan]], bread shops or "nanbai"/"tandoor" shops are fairly common and supply fresh, tandoor baked breads to household customers.
* [[Sheermal]] – Saffron-flavored traditional flatbread. It is a festive bread prepared with [[milk]] ('sheer') and [[butter]] with added candied fruits. Sheermal is often a vital part of food served in marriages, along with [[Taftan (bread)|taftan]]. It is often sweetened.

Gajraila is a sweet made from grated carrots, boiled in milk, sugar, cream and green cardamom, topped with nuts and dried fruit. It is popular in Pakistan, as well as in other parts of South Asia, including Afghanistan.
Pakistanis drink a great deal of tea, locally called "chai". Both black (with milk) and green teas are popular and there are different varieties common in different parts of Pakistan.
In Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral, as well as areas near the Chinese border, salty Tibetan-style butter tea is consumed.
Doodh pati chai is made by cooking tea leaves with milk and sugar, sometimes served with cardamom for fragrance. Extremely sweet, this is a local variation of a builder's tea.
"Kashmiri chai" or "noon chai", a pink, milky tea with pistachios and cardamom, is consumed primarily at special occasions, weddings, and during the winter, when it is sold in many kiosks.
Besides tea, there are other drinks that may be included as part of the Pakistani cuisine. All of them are non-alcoholic as the consumption of alcohol is prohibited by Islam. During the 20th century, beverages such as coffee and soft drinks have also become popular in Pakistan. It is very common to have soft drinks nowadays with Pakistani meals.
Observant Muslims follow the Islamic law that lists foods and drinks that are halal, permissible to consume. The criteria specify both what foods are allowed and how the food must be prepared. The foods addressed are mostly types of meat.
Occasionally, people in Pakistan dine out at restaurants with foreign-influenced food, such as Western, Arab and Chinese dishes. There are many westernized, Chinese restaurants and fast food outlets in urban parts of Pakistan. In the Punjab and Sindh provinces, the majority of urban chains of many American, European and British restaurants have opened in many metropolitan cities, such as Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Islamabad-Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Peshawar, Multan, Hyderabad, Quetta, Sargodha, Bahawalpur, Sialkot, Sukkur, Larkana and many others. Marketing and advertisements have attracted Pakistanis to try them out.
Outside Pakistan, Pakistani cuisine is prevalent in countries where there are large Pakistani communities present.
Pakistani food makes use of fresh, hand-pounded masalas. Ghee is used, but the main component of the meal or a dish is meat (beef, lamb, chicken, goat, or fish), and vegetables are sparingly used. Surprisingly, Pakistani food also makes extensive use of olive oil. Sparingly used vegetables does not mean there is no vegetarian food on the menu. Since the cuisine is very similar to Punjabi-style of cooking, tikka, simmered dals, tawa sabzi, and chaat feature here.
