It is easy to find a rushed curry on the High Road, but finding slow-cooked, traditional Pakistani comfort food in an elevated setting is rare. Haweli operates as a proper family dining room, focusing on the culinary heritage of Lahore without cutting corners on time or ingredients.
Skip the standard fast-casual wraps and focus directly on their signature plates and charcoal grills:
The Highlights: Their signature Lamb Karahi (prepared with homemade desi butter) and the Nihari—a sumptuous lamb shank stewed overnight until it melts. If you want heat, start with the Paneer Dynamites (£8.99) or Dynamite Prawns (£13.99).
The Cost: Individual mains range from £10.99 to £13.99. For family dining, their full-table sharing Karahis run between £30.99 and £39.99.
The Drinks: A strong, alcohol-free mocktail menu featuring Lychee Martinis, Blue Lagoons, and Lassi Jugs (£13.99) for the whole table.
The Vibe: A spacious, premium environment built for group celebrations, Sunday family dinners, or large bespoke events (they cater for private functions of 50+ guests).
