If you only have a few meals in Lahore, make them count. Here are the dishes and experiences not to miss.
Must-eat dishes
Nihari (ideally for breakfast), a sizzling chicken or mutton karahi with fresh naan, charcoal seekh kebabs and tikka, haleem, and, for breakfast, halwa puri with channay. Finish with jalebi, kulfi falooda or a doodh soda.
Signature experiences
Dinner on a Fort Road rooftop facing the floodlit Badshahi Mosque; a street-food crawl through Gawalmandi; winter fried fish in Old Anarkali; and a leisurely traditional breakfast in the old city.
Sweets & drinks
Lahori sweets are exceptional, jalebi, gulab jamun, barfi, kulfi, and seasonal drinks like sugarcane juice, lassi and doodh soda are refreshing.
For the adventurous
Paye (trotters), maghaz (brain masala) and siri paye reward the bold; your guide will point you to the best and safest versions.
