Lahori resturants

Copper Kettle:
Originally one of the most popular restaurants in the country, this joint has fizzled out. Situated on the Main Boulevard’s posh Empire Center, this restaurant’s décor is distinctly similar to Café Zouke. You’ll find mainly steaks and burgers here but the specialties are (or at least used to be) the french fries and the caked alaska.

Café Zouke:
One of the more expensive eating spots in Lahore. It’s situated on the MM Alam Road, a street lined with other more expensive restaurants. Though I haven’t visited it recently, I’ve heard that the helpings are good and the food is satisfying. The menu would be almost the same as Copper Kettle, but if you want a good atmosphere, this is the place to go.

The Village:
Another MM Alam Road restaurant. This buffet-style restaurant serves Pakistani food. The food is extremely heavy, so prepare yourself before coming here, because this is proper eating!

Pizza Hut:
Out of the three Pizza Huts in Lahore, one is situated on the MM Alam Road. This branch offers a more formal atmosphere than the other two. Pizza Hut Defence and Pizza Hut Mall Road cater more to the younger crowd of Lahore, but my personal preference still remains the MM Alam Road one.

Other MM Alam Road restaurants:
Personally, out of all the other restaurants on MM Alam Road, I found Chicago Grill the finest. From the service to the décor, this place will give you your money’s worth. If you don’t care about the money and want to have a nice dinner out, this is the place for you. Other restaurants include Freddy’s Café, Crispins and Ziafat.

Chinese Restaurants:
It’s very difficult to find an inexpensive Chinese restaurant in Lahore. An ideal place to find Chinese food is on the Main BoulevardGulberg.

Coocko’s Café:
This restaurant has the most intriguing locations in Lahore. Being right behind the Badshahi Mosque and near the infamous Hira Mandi, this is the best place to eat non-traditional food if one’s visiting the Walled City. It is heard that the owner of the restaurant is the son of a prostitute from Hira Mandi. This restaurant is a tribute to his mother and others like her who suffer their fate in the brothels.

Eating in the Walled City:
Though it is not advised to eat from the vendors in the Walled City, I would still recommend a bite or two. The Walled City is filled with a variety of traditional food.

Gowal Mandi/Food Street:
If you’re in the mood for proper traditional food, leave the rest and go to Gowal Mandi. This is the Lahore Horticultural Authority’s latest attempt to uplift the older parts of the city. A street earlier famous for its food stores has now been created into a tourist attraction. The variety of traditional foods available makes it a must for all, even the residents of Lahore. To avoid the crowds, one can go after 10 pm, when you’ll get the undivided attention of the servers.

Other places to eat traditional:
Muhammadi Nihari, in Chauburji, provides a traditional delicacy called nihari. A curry of meat, this is a favorite of most Lahoris. If you’re in the mood to spend some money, Bundu Khan is a good place. Mainly popular for its traditional foodstuff, you can get burgers and sandwiches as well. Chatkhara has become a favorite of many Lahoris over the past couple of years. It’s a good place to eat chaats, bhelpuri, etc.

Fast food chains:
KFC and McDonald’s are very popular among the Lahori youth. Though they might not be as filling as other traditional restaurants, their popularity remains in their big names. There are also several Dunkin Donuts outlets in Lahore as well. The local fast food outlets will provide you more within the same price. My favorite fast food stop is Café T-Zone, Defence Market.

Lahore is creeping with food. You’ll find all you need to eat here. Recent offerings have been Thai and Japanese foods at Steve’s Wok (near Pizza Hut Defence) and Fujiyama
