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.
