View All Reviews on Google"The Namkeen Roast here is unmatched in Model Town. Meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and the spice balance was perfect. Easily the best desi food I've had in Lahore this year."

"Ordered Chicken Biryani and Daal Maash for the family. Rice was perfectly separated, aroma filled the whole room. Portions are generous and prices are very reasonable."

"Open 24 hours is a blessing. Came at 2 AM with friends for karahi and paratha — food was fresh, hot and served within minutes. Staff was polite even at that hour."
