Lahore boasts a
large number of
eating places which
offer diverse and
mouth-watering
cuisine,. There are
restaurants and
cafes, and sometimes
whole districts,
offering exclusively
Pakistani cuisine,
such as the
Gwalmandi Food
'Street. Indeed, the
array of
mouthwatering dishes
and variety of
cuisine available in
Lahore is so awesome
that Lahore is being
billed as the Food
City of Pakistan!
To the uninitiated
all Pakistani dishes
might appear more of
the same; however,
once you have begun
to taste the
'different kinds
available you will
begin to enjoy the
subtle variations
offered by different
regional dishes. You
will find that good
Pakistani food does
not necessarily mean
too much masala
(spices) or chilies,
nor too muchghee or
oil. Every dish is
cooked in a
different
combination of
spices to bring out
the best flavor of
the ingredients.
Yoghurt is used not
only in cooking but
also as a side dish
in the form of many
variations of raita
(yoghurt in a
combination of
onions, cucumber,
brinjal etc.). There
is a large variation
of rice dishes,
bread in the form of
Chapati, Paratha,
Poori or a variety
of Kulchas & Nans.
Fresh Chutneys are
prepared for each
meal and there is an
array of Achar
(pickles) which will
be found
accompanying the
simplest of meals.
Fresh herbs such as
coriander and mint
are used to garnish
the dishes. Among
the most popular are
barbecued dishes
using minimum of
oil, such as Chicken
Tikka, Boti Tikka,
Seekh Kebab etc.,
which are cooked in
front of you on
glowing charcoals.
As a nation
Pakistanis have a
sweet tooth, if
anything Lahoris
have a sweeter tooth
that others;
accordingly sticky
sweetmeats are among
the most popular
food items in
Lahore.
Pakistani Cuisine is
by no means the only
kind you will come
across in Lahore.
There are a host of
restaurants offering
Chinese,
Continental,
Italnian, French and
Japenese dishes.
Here, you will also
find the outlets of
the omnipresent
international fast
food chains:
Kentucky Fried
Chicken, McDonald's,
and Pizza Hut are
carrying out roaring
business. Local fast
food chains are also
found all over town.
In addition to the
above, Lahore has
its share of ice
cream parlors, quite
a few of which offer
local concoctions as
well (such as
Falooda &
tukhmalanga).
In this section you
will find the names
of more well-known

Food Bazaars
The most famous food
bazaar is Gwalmandi
Food Street, which
has gained such
popularity over a
short period of
time. By cleaning
the area and
lighting up the
buildings, the
administration has
created a pedestrian
zed food street,
which has become a
popular venue for Lahoris and visitors
alike. The food
outlets offer a
variety of popular
dishes, each outlet
offering its own
specialty which the
visitors are able to
enjoy sitting in a
well-lit
vehicle-free street.
Lahore has several
areas which boast of
their culinary
specialties and if

buff you might like
to visit them for
tasting the
different kind of

many of the items
detailed below are
available at the
