About Akhtar Nihari & BBQ Restaurant

Editorial overview · verified 6 June 2026

MenuPak Editorial

Akhtar Nihari & BBQ Restaurant is a mid-range desi food restaurant in Lahore.

It carries a Google rating of 4.2 from 238+ diners, putting it in the upper tier of desi food restaurants in Lahore.

Pakistani desi cuisine is built on long, patient cooking with whole spices, charcoal smoke, ghee, and the open-flame BBQ tradition — eaten family-style with hot naan straight off the tandoor.
