Salt 'n Pepper Village

Reviewed By lpx99nl

I discovered that there are more “village” restaurants available in Lahore. This is a copy of another restaurant that I have been many years ago. The style is typical Punjabi house. Inside there are many old accessories for the farm life, but also nice traditional kites. The food is like buffet but with life preparation. All Pakistan food really great presentation and very tasty! Incredibile the dessert corner. The cart with the kulfi ice cream on stick is amazing.

Cuckoo's Den

Reviewed By Zaffar S

This restaurant along with few neighboring ones are located in old city Lahore on a side of Badshahi Mosque/Lahore Fort. Restaurants have been made by restoring old small multi storied houses and dining area are on the top. They are maintaining good standards of food and service. One enjoys the ambiance of lit historical buildings, specially Badshahi Mosque and newly built overhead interchange on Yadgar Choak. Top view of Minar e Pakistan is also possible from certain angles.

This place is my favourite from many years, even now when I visit I must have the club sandwich which is amazing. Also highly recommend cheese stuffed nuggets and chicken sheek kebab. Very friendly place. A bit on pricey side but it definitely delivers

Qabail Tribes

Reviewed By omszz

Went for dinner. Ordered chapli kebab, dumba karahi, dum-pukht, pulao chicken. Food was average, but overly salty which ruined the meal. The service was also poor, the restaurant was not busy and we still didn't receive very attentive service. The chairs, plates and utensils were also not very clean. Given the price of food, I would expect a lot more.

The surrounding view from the rooftop of Haveli restaurant is breathtaking. We took some foreigner friends with us for the dinner. They really loved the food as they ordered non spicy chicken and cheese naan and ambiance and the view. We took lamb kebab and mutton handi. The food was delicious and fresh. I like the Gajra (fresh flower wrist band) given by a lady staff and live music. Friendly staff. The building itself is amazing and nicely preserved . The restaurant has many terraces. A bit expensive.Thank you Tayyaba for your kind comments and feedback. We are committed to providing our guests with the finest Lahori and regional cuisine, prepared hygienically and comprising of the best quality ingredients. We take pride in dedicating our services entirely for guest satisfaction, specially our overseas visitors, so as to offer not only food, but a complete and memorable experience.

Spice Bazar

Reviewed By 778saqibr

I had breakfast in Spice Bazar a few days ago. They offer buffet breakfast with a good array and quality of dishes. Location, ambiance and service were all good. The only complaint I had that tea was not served hot, it was only Luke warm. They are a bit expensive but it was a good experience nonetheless.

Andaaz Restaurant

Located in the historic walled city Lahore with stunning views of Badshahi Mosque and the Lahore Fort, andaaz is a dining experience like no other. Dining with andaaz is indeed a true Journey for the Food Lover!

Reviewed By nazisha2014

The best time to go to Andaz is from November to March dinner time. People with knee issues can’t go there as lots of steep stairs . The food is always fresh, don’t have too many papars as it will kill your appetite, but they are great. The ambiance is awesome, good service. My favourite are Bbq prawns, mutton karahi, fresh nan and tandoori roti.
