Preserving Lahore's cultural soul, grand Mughal culinary heritage, and unmatched architectural royalty.
Founded in the restored architectural marvel known as Haveli Khalil Khan, Haveli Restaurant is not merely a restaurant; it is a living sensory celebration of old Lahore. Rising multi-stories along Fort Road Food Street, our terraces open directly into the majestic minarets of Badshahi Mosque, built in 1673.
Every spice is hand-pounded in traditional mortars, every handi is slow-cooked over glowing coals in pure desi ghee, and our hospitality echoes the ancient courts of the Mughal emperors.
The visionaries curating Lahore's premier heritage gastronomic journey
Habib Khan along with the Khan family spearheaded the historic restoration of Haveli Khalil Khan in 2005. His dedication to showcasing Lahore's rich history to international dignitaries, world travelers, and local families has established Haveli as Pakistanβs global dining ambassador.
Carrying forward secret spice blends handed down across generations of Lahori royal cooks, Chef Roshan Hassan leads our 40-member kitchen brigade. From hand-trimmed mutton karahis to delicate reshmi kebabs, every plate is crafted to royal perfection.
