  Lahore the city of flavours

Discover the mouthwatering world of Lahore’s food culture — from sizzling street kebabs in Gawalmandi to royal breakfasts in old Lahore. Follow me as I explore hidden gems, iconic restaurants, and authentic Lahori flavors that make this city the food capital of Pakistan

                       

🍢 1. Seekh Kebabs – The King of Street BBQ

You can smell them before you see them! Seekh kebabs, grilled on open flames, are the heart of Lahori street food. Made from minced beef or chicken mixed with rich spices, they’re juicy, smoky, and best enjoyed fresh off the grill.

Where to try: Butt Karahi, Lakshmi Chowk or Gawalmandi Food Street.                

🍛 2. Nihari – The Breakfast of Legends

Lahoris love a hearty start, and Nihari is the ultimate comfort food. This slow-cooked meat curry, usually eaten with naan, melts in your mouth. Traditionally a breakfast dish, but honestly? It tastes amazing anytime!
Where to try: Waris Nihari or Muhammadi Nihari, Mozang.

🌯 3. Bun Kebab – The Desi Burger

A Lahori favorite for decades! A spicy kebab patty, fried egg, and tangy chutney stuffed in a soft bun — the Bun Kebab is the perfect grab-and-go meal for students and travelers.
Where to try: Buns Road, Anarkali Bazaar.

🍧 4. Falooda – A Sweet Chill Treat

Cool off after a spicy meal with a glass of Falooda. This colorful dessert drink is made with rose syrup, milk, ice cream, jelly, and basil seeds — a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Where to try: Yousaf Falooda House, Shah Alam Market.

🍗 5. Taka Tak – The Sound of Lahore!

The name “Taka Tak” comes from the taka-tak sound of the chef’s knives as he chops meat on a sizzling tawa (griddle). This dish combines mutton, spices, and butter into a fiery, flavorful masterpiece.
Where to try: Fort Road Food Street or Lakshmi Chowk.
