GAWALMANDI FOOD STREET

If you want to experience the diverse food culture of Lahore, the food street in Gawalmandi is your best option.

Considered the oldest food street in Lahore, the history of Gawalmandi dates back to the pre-partition era as it was one of the first settlements outside the Walled City. Following the creation of Pakistan, a number of families who migrated from Amritsar and other parts of Indian Punjab settled in this area and brought with them their own traditional dishes. These generations-old recipes have since become the highlight of Gawalmandi Food Street in Lahore.

M.M. ALAM ROAD

Unlike the traditional food streets, like Gawalmandi and Lakshmi Chowk, M.M. Alam Road is more of an urban food street housing some of the best restaurants in Lahore.

LAHORE FORT FOOD STREET

Although it is considered a new food street in Lahore, the history of Fort Road Food Street dates back to the Mughal era. This food street near Shahi Qilais set inside the famous Taxali Gate of the Walled City. It is the perfect representation of the city’s cultural heritage.

With modern restaurants set inside old re-painted buildings filled with almost a century-old artwork, statues and antiques, this unique food street offers visitors a truly exceptional experience. Customers can also take a look at the remains of old churches and temples in the area. It won’t be wrong to say that nothing represents the cultural diversity in Lahore better than this place

OLD ANARKALI FOOD STREET

Anarkali Bazaar is undoubtedly one of the oldest and most popular shopping destinations in Lahore. Located on the famous Mall Road, this marketplace is divided into New Anarkali and Old Anarkali. While the new market is home to a number of top boutiques and handicraft shops, the old section houses one of the best food streets in Lahore.

Known locally as Old Anarkali Food Street, this is where you can find the best street food in Lahore. Although most of the eateries located here are quite old, it is still one of the most crowded food places in the city.
