– The Designers Redefining Luxury Fashion in Pakistan

June 16, 2026 Sehr Leave a comment

There was a time when everyone was crazy about Indian designers for their big day but over the past decade Pakistani designers have completely changed the dynamic and shifted global demand. While they often sit in the same price range as well known Indian couture labels what you are really paying for is far more than just fabric it is the detailed hand embroidery and craftsmanship that goes into every single piece you see. Each outfit reflects hours of intricate work and a level of artistry that has made these designers increasingly sought after for weddings and special occasions.

Here’s a list of my personal favorites;

Rano’s Heirloom

Their pieces are truly worthy of becoming family heirlooms. Rano’s cuts are beautifully executed, with garments that feel soft yet effortlessly flowy on the body. The label offers a variety of silhouettes, including long shirts, flowing lehengas, paneled maxis, and classic sharara and gharara styles, all designed with a sense of modern restraint. There is a perfect balance between embroidery and fabric, allowing the detailing to stand out without overwhelming the overall look. The cuts are especially flattering, enhancing the natural shape while maintaining elegance and ease. Overall, their design language sits comfortably between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary minimalism, making each piece feel both rooted and quietly modern. If you are getting married or someone close to you is tying the knot, Rano’s is definitely worth considering. It is on the pricier side, but the quality and fit make it worth the investment, as the silhouettes complement a wide range of body types beautifully.

Denna Rahman

When I think of Denna Rahman, I think of the way she transforms gold threadwork into something truly striking and beautiful. Her designs have a timeless elegance, with every detail thoughtfully considered, from the delicate embroidery to the intricate work on the back of a kurta. It is often the smallest details that make the biggest impact, and that is where her craftsmanship really shines. I especially love her use of pastel shades such as baby blue, soft pink, and mint green, which pair beautifully with her detailed embellishments. Her long dresses are particularly stunning, flowing effortlessly while still offering the perfect amount of structure and fit, creating silhouettes that feel both graceful and flattering.

Dr.Haroon

Dr. Haroon is one of those designers you need to plan for well in advance. Getting a dress from him is not as simple as walking into a store and placing an order. You often need to secure an appointment months ahead of time, and it definitely helps if you know someone who has previously worked with him. His bridal orders can take anywhere from six months to a year, sometimes even longer, so patience is key. Of course, all of that exclusivity comes with a price tag. If you are considering a Dr. Haroon bridal outfit, you should be prepared to spend around 1.5 million to 2 million, or even more depending on the design. He is especially known for his exquisite zardozi work and breathtaking farshi lehengas, both of which showcase the level of craftsmanship and detail that have made his designs so sought after. For many brides, the artistry, attention to detail, and one of a kind feel of his pieces make the wait and investment completely worthwhile.

Zuria dor

When I think of Zuria Dor, I immediately picture their stunning silver pishwas-style gowns and front-open silhouettes. Their designs are effortlessly glamorous, with intricate embellishments and shimmering details that create a beautiful statement without feeling excessive. What I love most is how graceful their pieces look in motion, with the flowing cuts adding just the right amount of drama and elegance. The combination of delicate craftsmanship, flattering silhouettes, and timeless silver tones makes Zuria Dor a standout choice. Whether you are attending a wedding, a formal event, or simply looking for something special for yourself, their pieces are just as perfect for guests as they are for bridal occasions.

Menahel and Mehreen

Menahel and Mehreen have a strong background in bridal fashion as they previously worked with the famous designer Bunto Kazmi, and that experience is clearly seen in their work. Their outfits feature beautiful hand embroidery and fine detailing while still feeling simple, elegant, and easy to wear. They mix traditional craftsmanship with a more modern style, creating dresses that are soft, graceful, and not too heavy. With clean shapes and careful finishing, their designs look neat and refined, making them a great choice for weddings and formal events, especially for those who prefer a classic and understated look.

Honey Waqar

When I think of Honey Waqar, I think of bridal wear that feels rich, regal, and incredibly detailed. These dresses are a perfect example of her signature style, with layers of intricate handwork, soft floral motifs, and heavy gold embellishments that instantly catch the eye. What stands out to me is how she balances all that embroidery with beautiful color palettes, like this soft blush pink paired with antique gold and hints of deeper tones. The silhouettes are elegant and timeless, while details like the low back, heavily worked dupatta, and sweeping flare add just the right amount of drama. Every inch of the outfit feels thoughtfully designed, making it the kind of bridal look that leaves a lasting impression long after the wedding day.

I love small details of work because it’s the small details which have a huge impact on the overall dress, and if you really like something you should definitely get it for yourself. Especially when you’re the one getting married, you need to choose exactly what makes you happy because it is your special day. Or if someone close to you is getting married then you definitely need to consider these designers because you only live once.

I’ll add more to the list soon ❤️

Between Culture and Compassion

August 5, 2025 Sehr Leave a comment

When a mother has a baby girl, people sometimes respond with comments like, “Don’t worry, maybe you’ll have a boy next time,” as if having a daughter is somehow disappointing. These remarks often reflect outdated beliefs or personal biases, rather than any real issue. The truth is, daughters are just as valuable and bring their own unique joy to a family. The connection between daughters and their parents—especially with their fathers—can be incredibly strong and meaningful. Every child is a gift, regardless of gender.

Let me be clear — I don’t associate myself with feminist ideology. But I also believe that expecting women to suffer in silence, to sacrifice endlessly without emotional support or understanding, is something I can’t accept.

We live in a time where women still feel pressured to marry based on societal expectations, not emotional connection. Many go through heartbreak, yet are expected to carry on — often having child after child in homes where love and care may be missing. It’s heartbreaking, and it’s real.

Our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) married Bibi Khadija (RA), a widow who proposed to him. Islam honored women and gave them the right to choose. But somewhere along the way, culture and customs overshadowed that message. Today, a woman taking a step forward for herself is often misunderstood or unfairly judged.

This isn’t about blaming anyone. It’s about rethinking what we’ve normalized.

Women deserve respect, choice, and emotional safety — just like men do. We need to build a society where both are treated with fairness and dignity. It’s not about one being above the other — it’s about walking side by side.

I will always be grateful to my angel of a father. He wasn’t a typical Baloch father — he gave me freedom, respect, and unwavering admiration. He loved me with a kindness and understanding that shaped who I am. Since his passing, I’ve felt permanently deprived of that kind of love and comfort. He was my safe place, my constant — the one I could turn to no matter how hard life got. My friend, my strength, my father — my everything.

I truly wish more fathers could be like him — trusting, loving, and always holding a soft spot for their daughters, no matter what.

Chasing Perfection: Is the Ideal Life Just a Myth?

April 16, 2025 Sehr Leave a comment

In many South Asian communities, life often follows a traditional script. Expectations are clear, and deviation is discouraged. For women in particular, there’s an unspoken standard—live quietly, fulfill your roles, and don’t ask for too much. Over time, this has created a culture where many live on autopilot, checking boxes but rarely feeling fulfilled.

But what happens when someone dares to want more?

The idea of an “ideal life” is often dismissed as unrealistic. Society tells us perfection doesn’t exist, and chasing it will only lead to disappointment. Yet, for some, it’s not about perfection—it’s about living with purpose. It’s about waking up with hope rather than dread. It’s about refusing to accept a bare minimum existence as the default.

High standards are often misunderstood. They aren’t rooted in arrogance but in self-awareness. When someone has experienced being deeply valued—whether through family, friends, education, or personal insight—they develop a different emotional baseline. They begin to expect more than survival—they seek joy, peace, and meaning.

In cultures that glorify sacrifice, choosing self-fulfillment can be seen as rebellion. But maybe the real myth isn’t the ideal life—it’s the belief that we must all settle. The truth is, the ideal life looks different for everyone. It’s not about living flawlessly; it’s about living intentionally, on one’s own terms.

Chasing that life isn’t delusion. It’s courage.❤️

At the heart of it all, women deserve to choose themselves—boldly, unapologetically, and without guilt. Growth begins when they stop shrinking to fit into roles that were never made for them. Choosing yourself isn’t selfish; it’s the first step toward building a life that’s full, intentional, and truly your own.

This journey has been one of healing and self-discovery, and every word I’ve written reflects a piece of that growth. While I usually share lighthearted thoughts, recent blogs have been more personal—filled with honesty and heart. I hope whoever’s reading this remembers that they’re worth far more than what this society expects of them. Never settle for the bare minimum. Set your standards, honor your individuality, and pursue your dreams—unapologetically. Just because others choose a certain path doesn’t mean it’s yours to follow. We each live and dream differently—and that’s exactly how it should be ✨💛

—— Last Time ——

One day, you’ll do something for the last time.

The last time you hug a loved one without realizing it.

The last late-night drive with your best friend before life pulls you in different directions.

The last meal at your favorite spot before it closes.

The last time you’ll set foot in a city you’ll never be going back to.

The last time you laugh until you cry with people you won’t see again.

The last time you actually hear someone for who they truly are before life hits them with a serious crisis.

The last time you’ll be playing your favourite sport.

The last time you wear your school uniform because you’re done with it.

The last time when you’ll actually enjoy walking or playing in the rain.

The last time you let someone’s behaviour impact you because you’ll learn to stand up for yourself.

You won’t know it’s the last. It won’t feel special in the moment. It’ll feel like any other day. Until it isn’t. So be where your feet are. Look people in the eye. Say what you mean. Feel it fully. Because the ordinary moments? They’re only ordinary until they’re gone. We humans change. Our emotions and feelings towards people, places and things keep changing due to our experiences or the simple fact that we grow up. As the quote goes “You cannot step in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”

Time is ever changing. And you can only go ahead in life when you accept the fact that you literally have to make things happen or else you’ll run out of time. Accept what you want to and say no to what you know isn’t right for you. I miss the simplicity of childhood and the pre technology era. When you never cared about what you wore or what you did, all you did was do what made you happy in that moment. Getting your favourite chocolate or cookie left in the box so you could enjoy it. Everything turns so complicated when you grow up, you literally have access to everything, you can buy anything but that happiness won’t last and it won’t give you butterflies as it did when you were a kid. It was the little things which mattered. Life’s weird now we’re just a bunch of anxious adults with happening and happy pictures on social media whereas the true essence of happiness isn’t there anymore.

Appreciate what makes you happy at the moment before it’s too late✨

🇵🇰, False Sense Of Entitlement, Pakistan, Toxic Brown Culture

The End Of Feudalism!

December 13, 2024 Sehr Leave a comment

When a 2-3 generations become used to doing nothing, particularly the men (in a brown culture) the entire effort and hardwork of previous generations just goes to dust. When there’s nothing but generational hatred, selfishness, greed and lies passed on from family to family and your own blood relatives being envious of your success/happiness, know blood doesn’t mean anything it’s all about loyalty and pure intentions (which is extremely rare these days).

What men have these days are bigger weapons but smaller brains and fragile egos. There is lack of education or lack of implementation of that knowledge. Majorly it’s someone with a degree who refuses their caveman brain to evolve, they rather stick to how things have been rather change with time. So many known families have faced this rapid decline due to lack of growth with time. This easygoing attitude and literally not doing anything is what is a major source of decline to a huge reputable families in Pakistan.

The false idea that just because you’re related to someone who was widely respected and known would get you anywhere, it won’t. No matter how many titles you add to your name ultimately you’ll be known by your brains, words and actions. The people you brag about being related to are long gone for their final abode. This false sense of entitlement has gotten into the heads of the majority of the men/women thinking they can act as they like without being held accountable or questioned. Most of the people from such a prestigious backgrounds prefer staying lowkey and avoid standing out, because that’s how it’s suppose to be. Your name won’t get you anywhere for long, if you don’t bother moving ahead with time.

Rest there are no more “Land Lords” or “Feudal” left. From owning thousands of squares of land which were subjected to land reforms, laziness and later dumb decisions of selling them to buying fancy stuff or uniformed (Buckingham style) butlers/chauffeur to fit into cities. Building that false sense of power while destroying the main source of it.

Lastly and most importantly i’d like to add is that it’s about time we educate and give our daughters the freedom and space to build a career/life. Don’t suffocate them to the societies pathetic practices and expectations. About time people have their daughter financially independent on all levels. Don’t ever let them rely on a brother or a spouse particularly financially. Time changes people and priorities change hence they should never be left on anyone’s mercy. Our religion gave women the most amount of independence, while our culture and ideas weakened them. It’s time to evolve and change. They deserve to grow and live in an environment whilst feeling safe, it’s about time people start raising their sons/brothers right.

If this post offends anyone, so be it.

Peace!

Pakistani Brands Worth Spending On Summer’24 Edition

July 7, 2024 Sehr Leave a comment

Guess who went over board with lawn and promised herself she won’t be doing it anymore? ME. That’s right. ME. What’s summer without tons of lawn suits you’ll even probably not wear because you prefer staying in Pyjamas at home. Every girl/woman needs dresses just in case they might need to dress up.

HUSSAIN REHAR

I absolutely love his clothes. Specially the lawn unstitched suits. Though you need a lot of effort to find the right laces in at least 3-4 different shapes and designs. I wore his designs on both the Eids this year. His lawn quality is the best amongst Pakistani designers. He also launched Jugnu Pret and I got a yellow 2 piece dress from that collection it’s so cute and the best part is it’s super comfy and super loose. Loose fitted clothes are extremely comfortable to carry in this 44 degrees heat. Do check out his collection if you’re into something similar to these cute dresses.

ZARA SHAHJAHAN

I absolutely love all her collection. From the Eid RTW to her coco lawn collection. The quality never disappoints and they recently opened their outlet in my city previously they only had studios in Karachi. I just realised all the articles I got and/or planning to get are from the same color family, Blue.

If you’re into blues definitely check out her collection. My size in the Pret for completely sold out, will probably visit the studio to see if they have my size available over there. I absolutely love her Coco Collection, it’s perfect for day to day wear. I prefer having minimal embroidery for causal wear clothes because it’s very difficult to carry heavily embroidered lawn clothes in this heat. You want something soft, loose fitted and easy to carry anywhere anytime.

SERÁN

I got a few dresses from this particular collection. Absolutely loved the soft lawn fabric and the easy to carry cotton net and chiffon duppata. The only headache was to find the right laces and getting them dyed. I’m big on all the tiny details of my dresses. These are again easy to carry with minimal embroidery. They have had multiple collections launched too but this collection literally has all my heart for all the florals and cute prints.

ZAIB

Disclaimer: Their stitched options are very loose, if you’re a size small usually just get an extra small.

Absolutely loved the quality of their fabric however the sizing is a bit confusing so I’d recommend you to get in unstitched and get it stitched from your own tailor. Their models are super skinny which makes you think you might want to size up but trust me the fitting doesn’t come in slim fit, it’s loose. I got a dress and will probably never wear it or just give it to my tailor to fix it. Do check it out if you’d opt for something unstitched. Rest it’s all good and pretty.

SAPPHIRE

This is my everyday wear go to brand. The best part is it’s not that pricey and I experiment new designs on them and they turn out to be amazing every single time. The lace, necklines, hem and sleeves I experiment with every single thing. Again their cute minimal prints, duppatas and basic embroidery is what I love the most about this brand.

MIAASA

This is just another Pakistani Footwear brand which I absolutely love. I have a couple of pairs from this amazing brand. Got flats and heels. It’s a very unique brand and different from all these other common shoe brands. The way they sparkle and look is just too good. Whenever I go through their website I just want to order everything. I absolutely love buying shoes in different colors and designs to match my outfits. Just a quick tip make sure you get padded shoes not the ones with a hard plastic sole, otherwise your feet will start killing you and it’s terrible. Comfort needs to go hand in hand together with fashion. They recently started selling their shoes in New York too, and this brand has a long way to go.

Lastly i’d like to say is you can wear the most amazing outfit but at the end of the day it will all come down to how you carry yourself. Take care of yourselves, you are what you eat and think. So eat good and think good/positive too.

Stay tuned for more;

Hi everyone.

Guess who just chopped 3 inches off their golden locks? ME! I honestly don’t know how to feel about it at the moment but well they’ll grow back pretty soon too. I was constantly bleaching my hair and getting different shades of balayage for years. I THANK MY PARENTS AND GRANDMOTHER FOR GIVING ME THE GOOD HAIR GENE. Literally I have made my hair go through A LOT, I still have them🤧 THANK GOD.

And plenty (Ma Sha Allah 🧿) please say it. Emphasise on the word written inside the brackets.

Anyways, I decided to chop off my hair and get a fresh hair cut because I was sick of dealing with dry ends. I got long layers with some face framing. Usually I used to have a face framing with straight cut hair but well that changed. No matter what you do, you can never really hydrate a bleached strand or tips. I changed my shampoos and hair mask too, as well as my pre shampoo oiling routine.

Shampoo;

Resistance Bain Extentioniste Shampoo

This shampoo in particular promotes quicker hair growth, rebuilds hair fiber, makes your hair nourished and shiny. And this smells heavenly. Too good. I switched to Kerastase products after 2 years. They’re super mild yet super rich in amazing hair healthy ingredients like:

Creatine

an amino acid that penetrates deep to reinforce the internal structure of the hair fiber

Ceramide

provide surface recovery, assuring beautiful hair fiber as they smooth and soften

Taurine

an amino acid with a protective effect on the hair fiber to help ensure visibly healthy and stimulated scalp environment

Hair Mask;

Resistance Masque Therapiste Mask

This smells like heaven, and leaves your hair super healthy and soft as well. I usually use this twice a week after shampooing my hair. This particular hair mask needs to stay in your hair for 5-7 minutes and then you need to massage it in your scalp well before washing it off. Again smells too good 🍭 🍬

This again is rich in super amazing ingredients;

Gluco Peptide

Enters the deepest layers of the cuticule to strengthen existing hair and stimulate growth.

Wheat Protein Derivative

Repairs the flexibility and elasticity of damaged hair, restoring uniformity and smoothness.

Native Plant Cells

Ensure deep hydration, reducing the risk of weakened roots and leaving soft hair.

Note: Kerastase products are extremely mild and sulphate free. And a little goes a long way. If you’re someone who colors their hair, bleaches them or even uses hot tools on your hair you need to get a consultation and invest on their products. Secondly you need to switch to a microfibre towel for your hair. The normal towel can be extremely damaging for your hair and cause breakage and pulling. Microfibre towel however is extremely soft and gentle on your hair.

K18 hair mask

I usually use this after 2-3 months for 8 after washes and then I alternate it’s use and then slowly just stop using it. This is extremely amazing for you if you have bleached hair and need that extra boost of hydration. You can read the post I wrote about this particular mask;

https://sehrreviews.blog/2022/12/08/all-about-k18/

Pre Shampoo Oiling;

These are the only oils I put on my hair for at least 2-3 hours before washing them. I use them at least twice a week. I add 4 Tablespoons of either olive oil or almond oil and add in 8 drops of rosemary oil, mix it all well and massage it on for about 5-7 minutes. I drench my hair (root to tip) in this amazing mixture. None of these oils have a bitter smell either and extremely bearable. I love how amazing the rosemary smells tbh, it just refreshes you and calms you down. Rosemary oil has tons of benefits, it helps give you shiny, long, strong and healthier hair.

Rosemary oil tip : seeing how much dengue cases are on the rise I usually add a few drops of Rosemary oil in my fragrance free lotion and rub it on my arms and ankles. Rosemary oil is far better than Mospil or any such lotions. All it has a is a minty scent. No mosquitoes will bite you and you’ll be all goody good and safe.

Lastly; Avoid putting heat on your hair, specifically Hair Straighteners, they literally fry your hair; if you’re someone who tends to do a lot of styling either invest on a Dyson Airwrap or a GHD wet to dry styler. Thank me later!🙌🏻

Tips:

– Don’t ever comb your wet hair ever.

– Use a Microfibre towel to dry your hair, don’t ever use a regular towel (I know i repeated it but please don’t take this lightly).

– Use mild, sulphate free shampoo.

– Don’t ever wash your hair with extremely hot water, it’s extremely drying.

– Take your vitamin D and Calcium supplements (at least an hour before or after caffeine, don’t take these vitamins with coffee or tea)

– Oil your hair (Read that again) and massage it well on your scalp.

– Use a good heat protectant before using any hot tools on your hair.

– For the girlies, get a trim regularly after every 2-3 months.

– Invest on a Dyson Airwrap.

Good precautions and tips can help save you a lot of trouble later in life. A lot of people face hair thinning and hair fall because they don’t have a good after care and they just are very rough with their hair. Be it a guy or a girl, we all need luscious, soft and smooth hair.

Politics and Elections in Pakistan 🇵🇰 🗳️

March 14, 2023 Sehr Leave a comment

My grandfather was the person who supported Fatima Jinnah in her election campaigns whilst she was named a traitor just because she was opposing a dictator in elections which were later heavily rigged. Mind you Fatima Jinnah was Quaid-e-Azam’s sister and he was the founder of this country. But nothing could stop a dictator from naming her a traitor. Till this date there is no political independence in this country.

Imran Khan was brought in for Nawaz sharif and Zardari/Bhuttos like Sharif’s were brought in for Bhuttos monopoly in Politics. These are all the same old tricks used and abused after every decade. Whoever becomes too influential they are removed out of the way by false cases or assassinations! Benazir Bhutto is the biggest example of such a thing. When politicians become too hard to handle they’re simply eliminated.

It’s gotten easier to buy off sitting mna’s and mpa’s, meaning you come into power on one parties ticket but as soon as you see this party ship going down you decide to jump off it. Either someone pays you money for switching or you get offered a ticket from another party willing to take you in. There should be a ban on such switchers for at least 2 general elections. They cannot be trusted they’d switch sides whenever it’s inconvenient for them to stand with the party they’re representing. You need no morals or ethics to do that. Then again politics is a selfish game.

The only reason Pakistan has not prospered like Bangladesh is because whoever comes into power starts thinking about personal short term gains while not caring what happens to the country in the long run. Increasing the defence budget whilst more than half the population is living under poverty and crisis doesn’t make sense. Education & health are completely ignored. Whilst the rich can travel the world for a basic treatment the poor to middle class is stuck with whatever options he/she has in this country.

I don’t support politicians who make policies for this country while their kids are sitting comfortably in Dubai, London or somewhere in States. Their kids won’t be facing the consequences of their decisions. The youth of this country however will be living with those consequences with no other option.

Personally I don’t think this country will get any leader good enough. Whoever will come will make money, get cars, invest in property abroad and fly off as soon as he starts seeing a dead end while leaving the people of this country to fall into the ditch they dug up!

May God have mercy on us! Ameen.

This is literally my go to place in this city. If there’s any plan or meet up this place just instantly comes to my mind. The Ambiance, Food Quality, Location (Defence and Gulberg) everything is good. Absolutely love their Anglio’Olio Pasta, Mozzarella sticks, Pepperoni Pizza (chicken), Chicken Sandwiches and Cafe Au’Lait. The thing I actually appreciate the most about this place is that they have maintained their quality ever since they have opened up. Also a little secret, they make seasonal fruit cakes (strawberry and mango) on orders and they are scrumptious. Their tea however is really pathetic so no point if ordering it. If you’re someone who likes separate tea then you might like it but if you’re someone like me, who loves *doodhpati chaaye* with elaichi, you will definitely not like it. So skip the tea and order a cup of coffee instead.

Eggspectation: https://instagram.com/eggspectationpk?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I just recently tried it and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to go to a good place in Lahore. What I loved the most about their cafe was their Rosemary chicken panini grilled sandwich, Margherita Pizza and Cafe Latte. The best part is they serve breakfast all day, so you can easily and definitely plan on going there for brunch(anytime). Will definitely be trying more things off their menu. The outdoor seating is best for winters just make sure you are wearing a super warm coat and accessories to keep yourself warm.

Pink Pistachio: https://instagram.com/pistachio.pink?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

This is such a cute cafe. The seating is super limited but as soon as you step into the cafe it feels like a completely different dimension. I absolutely loved their Alfredo Pasta, Tarragon Chicken with mashed potatoes and Cafe Latte. I ordered a piece of their chocolate milk pastry too, but it was far too sweet for my taste. Anyhow this place is worth visiting if you’re in Lahore.

Nandos Nandos and More Nandos: https://instagram.com/nandospk?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Okay I so prefer either takeaway or home deliveries from Nando’s. Currently i’m in Love with their Quarter chicken in extra hot peri peri sauce and I order spicy rice, potato wedges and garlic bread on the sides. This is so fulfilling. How can I forget about their Peri Peri bites?!This is a quite famous chain so chances are you might have already tried it, but if you haven’t what are you waiting for?

Also a top secret, their classic chocolate cake is extremely yummy. If you want to eat that perfect textured and perfectly balanced bitter sweet chocolate cake do try it. It’s my top top favourite one in town.

Baked Lahore: https://instagram.com/baked_lahore?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

This is a place where all home based bakers and chefs send their stuff. I absolutely loved the Italian herbed and buttered chicken roast, the egg pudding and croissants sold here. Both butter and chocolate filled croissants had the perfect texture and taste(reminded me of the ones I had in Paris). These are high quality products. Everything is freshly home made. It’s niche. Unlike huge bakers making tons of things at one time and not maintaining the food quality.

Sweet Affairs and Cosa Nostra:

https://instagram.com/cosanostra_paolas?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= & https://instagram.com/sweet_affairs_official?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

If you love ice cream and particularly chocolate flavoured!! You need to try either of these places. Their Nutella ice cream is hands down the best ice cream i’ve had in Lahore or even Pakistan. It has chocolate chunks in it too (making it bitter sweet). Thank me later!🍫🍦

Hot Chocolate fans:

House of twiinz: https://instagram.com/houseoftwiinz?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Cafe DeComo: https://instagram.com/cafedecomo?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

For the time being these are restaurants or cafes I would go back to any day or just get food from there and have it at home. I am very picky when it comes to my food and I’m super cautious about cleanliness. I don’t like going to new places and rather stick to my classic favourites.
