Cheap and delicious steamed dumplings at the heart of old anarkali bazaar. Not a place to visit with your family but perfect if you want a place to hang out with the guys while snacking on healthy food that won't break the bank. Ps. The owner is very nice.

A Small But Great Place To Sit Back, Relax With Your Friends And Enjoy Some Great Receipies From The North Of Pakistan. Some Hunza's Specialities. All The Walls Are Surrounded By Some Amazing Paintings And Newspaper Headlines. Very Unique. There Are Only Red And Green Low Voltage Lights Bulbs, Which Gives The Environment A Lovely Touch Of Darkness.

Finding authentic mamtu in Lahore is harder than one may think. And the folks here do them right. One just needs to make sure of three things before visiting: a) That they do not visit on a meatless day (so as to not miss out on the full menu); b) That one orders at least a doen per person because thats how easy they are to consume; and c) That one doesn't forget to ask for the sauces!
