FAQs
Cooco’s Den and Andaaz.
While Gaia and The Polo Lounge cater mostly to adults and formal dining, restaurants like Spice Bazaar, Salt’s Pepper village are quite child friendly.
For true Pakistani food, Salt’ n Pepper Village!
Of course, it is fair. Some areas demand a peaceful atmosphere since many restaurants let business meetings take place and handle specific lunch and dinner booking for them.
It is most likely due to Pakistani cuisine, which is greatly influenced by Indian, Mughal, and Persian cuisines with comparable spices and flavors, but Mexican cuisine uses entirely distinct pallete even with same spices. Perhaps shortly mexican cuisine will find their way into Pakistan.
