Al Khan Restaurant - Shahdara Branch, Pakistani restaurant in Shahdara, Pakistan
Al Khan Restaurant - Shahdara Branch is a multi-story restaurant located in the Shahdara area of Lahore, Pakistan. It has separate dining sections spread across several floors to serve families, groups, and solo diners.
The restaurant was established in Shahdara, a historic area on the northern edge of Lahore that once served as a gateway to the Mughal city. Over time, it became a reference point for traditional Pakistani food along the Lahore-Sheikhupura-Faisalabad road corridor.
The restaurant is known for Karahi and Mandi, two dishes that are deeply rooted in Pakistani and broader South Asian cooking. Mandi is traditionally served on large shared platters, which makes eating here a communal experience.
It is possible to book a table by phone, and delivery is available through food apps. Because the place spans several floors, it helps to mention on arrival whether you prefer a family section or a more open seating area.
Mandi, originally from the Arabian Peninsula, arrived in Pakistan through trade and migration routes and has since developed its own local character in Lahore. At this restaurant, the platters come with BBQ sauce, hummus, and grilled vegetables alongside the meat, which is not typical of the original dish.
