In 2025, the Annual Culinary Awards returned to Karachi for its highly anticipated Chapter 6, hosted at the elegant Andalusian Banquet.
On 21 October 2025, Pakistan’s biggest culinary celebration brought together chefs, restaurateurs, food entrepreneurs, and creators from across the nation.
Recognising Skill, Creativity & Entrepreneurship
Since its inception, ACA has served as a platform to recognise skill, creativity, and entrepreneurship — bridging connections between trade, media, and consumers while highlighting Pakistan’s evolving culinary identity.
Organised by MasterClass Pakistan, ACA 2025 reaffirmed its legacy as the country’s leading platform for recognising culinary talent across Restaurants, Industry Chefs, and the Digital & Home Chef Community. With over 700 attendees, the event celebrated creativity, resilience, and excellence.
Leadership & Partners
The evening began with a powerful address by Usama Ahmed, CEO of MasterClass Pakistan, who paid tribute to the industry and the passion that fuels Pakistan’s vibrant food culture.
This edition was made spectacular through partnerships with Shan Foods, Unilever Food Solutions, Shangrila Foods, Nestlé Professional, Tapal Tea, Young’s Food, and Flora Food Group.
As the lights dimmed, one message echoed: Pakistan’s culinary future is brighter than ever, and its community stronger than before.
ACA 2025 Karachi is not just an event — it is a celebration. A platform to honour Pakistan’s culinary excellence, showcase innovation, and inspire a future rooted in creativity, tradition, and flavor.
