Overview

Lahoris will tell you — with total confidence — that no city on the subcontinent eats better. This evening walk puts that claim to the test: slow-simmered nihari, smoking karahi, crisp halwa puri, tandoor-fresh naan, charcoal kebabs, kulfi falooda and cane-sugar juice, each from the family stall or century-old shop that locals actually queue at.

Your guide handles ordering, explains what you’re eating and why it matters, and keeps everything hygienic — we only stop where we eat ourselves.

Start & finish: Hotel pickup. Transport: Private air-conditioned vehicle.

A live Google Map with every stop is shared with your confirmation. Driving times are honest estimates and vary with traffic; where a destination is far, we tell you plainly and suggest an overnight if it’s more comfortable.
