Pakistani-Chinese cooking is a Lahore family staple — generous, spicy and saucy, with chicken Manchurian, Szechuan beef and egg fried rice on nearly every table. The city has long-running favourites that have been serving the same beloved dishes for decades.
These are Lahore’s highest-rated Chinese restaurants, from classic family halls to newer spots cooking more authentic regional dishes.
