Asia Pakistan Lahore Dining

Overview

Dining The guide was updated: 2024-06-12

The province of Punjab is known for its especially abundant culinary offerings, and Lahore in particular is heralded as a hotspot for gastronomy. Some of the dishes you'll certainly encounter on restaurant menus include various meat grills and kebabs, spicy chicken karahi, and Lahori specialities, along with a variety of other chicken dishes and deep-fried goodies sold off street sides. To acquaint yourself with the local dining culture, begin at the new Food Street near Lahore Fort, eventually working your way down to Anarkali Bazaar.

Monal

Monal

Rooftop Monal commands sweeping views of Lahore, all the while offering discerning guests a lengthy menu of Pakistani and Continental dishes. The daily dinner buffet is a real hit, followed closely by the Sunday brunch and high tea on Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

Andaaz

Andaaz

It doesn't get much better than this on the Lahore dining scene: set inside the old walled city, Andaaz offers seating on an airy terrace overlooking the splendid Badshahi Mosque, which lights up beautifully at night. The menu centres on cuisine from the subcontinent, featuring a variety of karahi (thick curry) and tandoori dishes.

Options

Options delivers on its promise of manifold dining choices, with offerings of an incredible six different world cuisines (Pakistani, Iranian, and Chinese - to name a few), as well as an on-site bakery and cafe. The establishment is extremely popular, with ample seating.

Bundu Khan

Bundu Khan

For a proper barbecue feast, try the local favourite Bundu Khan, praised for its juicy mutton and chicken grills, flavourful karahi and tikka, and other desi dishes (do not skip on the naan bread!). Prices are more than reasonable.

Spice Bazaar

Take advantage of the intimate outdoor courtyard seating and tuck into delectable barbecue specialities (get the mixed grill platter to share among several diners), or come for the popular Sunday brunch (10am-3pm), a family favourite. Stop by the on-site dessert shop for take-away goodies.
