Street Food in Chaotic Old Lahore 🇵🇰

I ate local street food in crazy and chaotic Old Lahore. This is an area of the city that is noisy and bustling with people at the best of times, but at dinner time crowds surround the street food carts.

I was brought to a stall selling bhature by my local friend ‪@ghoomlopakistan‬. Bhatura is a type of fried bread and is served with chickpeas in a gravy.

We ordered two portions but after that I had no idea what was going on. It was total chaos there. There was one table but no free seats. So we were to stand and eat, next to a small table, but as soon as the food arrived, half a dozen random hands started eating it. Chaos.

The bread was served straight from the fryer and was burning hot. I couldn't rip a piece off without burning my hands, which the brats standing beside me thought was hilarious. It seemed like most of the people standing around making the situation chaotic weren't even there to eat. They were just there making a nuisance of themselves.

Despite the utter madness, I enjoyed the Chole Bhature. Any kind of fried bread is always going to be delicious.

After eating the Chana Bhatura we took a short trip on my friend's motorbike to a stall selling chicken soup. Again, it was a chaotic area but we found refuge in my friend's uncle's shop, where we could eat our soup in piece.

The chicken soup tasted like it came from a can, like a Heinz or Baxter's Chicken Soup but it was served with slices of chicken and a boiled egg. It was tasty and a protein feast. It's tremendous value at 100 Pak rupees per bowl, which is just $0.50 USD. Although I wasn't allowed to pay.

For dessert I had something called Laddu Peethi which are lentil patties, covered in chutney. The owner of the stall was very proud of his food and wanted me to try it. I was already full but a plate was served for me so I did the polite thing and ate it.

And I'm glad I did, because it was very tasty. It was very spicy on the first mouthful but they served me more of the sweet chutney to balance that out and it was more like a sweet dessert.

Again, he wouldn't allow me to pay but it normally costs just 30 PKR for a serving, which is $0.15 USD. Incredible value.
