Shaheen Shinwari Shaheen Shinwari Traditional seating arrangements : 'Takht' and 'Gao Takiyay'


About:

  • Don't confuse ! this is Shaheen Shinwari's new setup on the same Rashid Minhas Road opposite Askari IV. The old one is still operational but its not a pick among places where you can dine peacefully due to its close proximity to the main road.
  • Traditional seating arrangements: Takht and Gao Takiyay
  • Separate families only and gents section.
  • Open air, considerably peaceful.
  • Menu includes all sorts of BBQ, Karhai, Sajji, Kat-a-Kat, etc.
  • Kehwa (Green Tea) with lemon and Gurr (Brown Sugar) is available.
  • Overall good quality food and efficient serving.
  • Plenty of parking space available, free of charge.
  • A dedicated small area for offering prayers.
