Not your regular Chapli Kabab. Yeh zara hat kay kaam hai. Smaller in size (3 inch diameter), very finely minced beef qeema along with other masala-jaat (unlike standard chapli kabab). They have two sizes and you can get a bigger one as well but I prefer nikka wala as it’s more crispier
Dukaan ka naam: Bhai Bhai Kabab. Established in 1970. Jee, takreban 52 saal.
Texture: Very bareek and karrak.
Taste: Delicious beef kabab, not overly spicy and has no after effect of seenay ki jalan. Comes with a watery green chutney along with ‘kaddu kash’ ki hui mooli (like laddu peethi). Served with thanday naan (is ka they should do kuch bandobast) Chutney is game changer for the taste of the kabab.
Price: Rs. 50 for one kabab. (They have a bigger one for Rs. 100 also).
Location: Main Saddar Bazaar. HBL Saddar say bazar mai enter hotay saath he forst chowk mai left hand pay.

Salad wala Raita is kay andar Enjj kar kay sutt’ein, It further enhances the taste. Rating: 9/10 as per my tastebuds Seating: A proper wadda seating hall for ‘co-education seating’ and a family hall as well.
A must try place if you are a chana lover.
PS: ‘Too much oil’ walay china kay foodies zara 4 foot dur rahen. #shoonkria
Like every other place, Hafiz Hotel was also sitting on my to-do list for some weeks now. Aaj mai nay Socha mausam acha hai yahan chalta hoon din mai. Itna ghalat Socha 🙄. Paseeno paseen program tha yaar. Feyr ‘AC Chalu’ kiya tou sukoon hua. Socho November almost here and AC. Baharhaal, roti ki details is the thallay
Khaya Kya? Their menu is kaafi lamba chaura is liye mai nay sirf 2 items order ki. 1. Karri Pakora: after listening to the hype, I was honestly expecting an amazing karri there. Lekin aisa hua nahin ☹️. It wasn’t bad but could’ve been better. If you are looking for ghar-like karri then this might not be the place. It comes with two table-tennis ball-sized pakoray. Pakoray were kaafi dry andar say. I cannot rate it more than 7/10, plz meri majboori samjho. Qeemat Rs 100.
2. Bakray ki kaleji – absolutely loved it. Aisa feel hua jaisay Eid walay din ghar mai banti hai. Highly recommended. Qeemat: Rs. 190
Seating: Kafi saaf suthra mahol. They have a family hall. Mahol: All types of awaam come there for khana. Saw many Qulis having food there (Tayshunn pay saman chuknay mai help karnay walay).
Jo aap nay Wahan say khana hai woh next post mai bataoon ga 😋. Intizaar farmayie. #shoonkria

Place: Kuchi – The Nomadic Cuisine (Yes, very is the Ainglish name) Location: Near Askari 11 and the DHA M Block Underpass. Zakir Tikka kay paas. The one that you see on your left on Ring Road when you cross the Phase 5/6 and Bedian wala exit. Maps Location:https://goo.gl/maps/5FoTM8gEHzKkNXwt7
Kee Khaya? It was my firs time there so wanted to try as many items as possible without wasting anything. Went for their Goshatt wala platter for 2 to 3 persons. It had Batair, Chapli Kuwaaab, Beef Seekh Kabab, Malai Boti, Namkeen Boti, Chicken Boti, Uzbek Naan and Special Naan. (Quantity mentioned int he menu that I have posted in the comments). I loved Chapli Kuwaab, Batair, Malai Boti. the chatni was enjj kar kay ahhhmazing and I also loved both naaans. Boht aala. Price: Rs. 1,750 Quantity: they are sachay larkay. Waqayi 3 logon wali quantity. 2 of us couldn’t finish and had to get samaan packed. Seating: We sat on rooftop.

There are more than one ways to go for Intermittent Fasting (IF) but I personally follow Time-Restricted Fasting method
With this type of IF, you choose an eating window every day, which should ideally leave a 14 to 16 hour fast. “Fasting promotes autophagy, the natural ‘cellular housekeeping’ process where the body clears debris and other things that stand in the way of the health of mitochondria, which begins when liver glycogen is depleted,”. Doing this may help maximize fat cell metabolism and helps optimize insulin function, she says.
For this to work, you may set your eating window from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., for instance. This can work especially well for someone with a family who eats an early dinner anyway. Then much of the time spent fasting is time spent sleeping anyway. (You also don’t technically have to “miss” any meals, depending on when you set your window.) But this is dependent on how consistent you can be. If your schedule is frequently changing, or you need or want the freedom to go out to breakfast occasionally, head out for a late date night, or go to happy hour, daily periods of fasting may not be for you.
Is The 16:8 Intermittent Fasting Method The Best Way To Improve Your Health And Body?
We’re all looking for a good, definable way to take charge of our health — to feel better, to look better, to stave off illness and injury for a long, enjoyable life.
Of course, the best thing to do is to pursue a multi-pronged approach to wellness. It’s not enough to be active; you have to eat well, too, and surround yourself with caring friends and family.
Of course, lots of people promise that the key to wellness is in some particular habit. Some of them might be right, but many of them are not basing their opinions on anything scientific at all. But some of them, it turns out, might have the results and the basis in fact in order to support them.
What’s the 16:8 Intermittent Fasting Method all about?
That’s the case with what’s called intermittent fasting. What does it take to follow this program and how might it help your health? This graphic offers some insights.
How the 16:8 Intermittent Fasting Method works
One of the most important factors behind the success and effectiveness of this approach is its ability to regulate the production of powerful hormones within the body, specifically insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
When these hormones and the feedback loops that govern their production operate optimally then an environment is created where we’re better able to reduce stored body fat, often at a higher rate as we are better able to regulate blood sugar and our metabolism.
Diet adherents are required to consume all their calories in an eight-hour period, seven days a week. This feeding window should generally be kept between the same times each day, normally from early afternoon to early evening. In doing so the body is required to tap into stored energy to fuel its daily activities each day. Some form of fasted exercise is promoted to help accelerate fat metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity.
Challenges you may encounter with the 16:8 Intermittent Fasting Method
However, there are a few challenges to this approach. Firstly, it can be hard to abstain from eating for such long periods of time, at least initially.
The other issue some people face is physically consuming all of their required calories in such a short timeframe. And if you don’t know exactly how much you should consume, then you may be under-eating or overeating. The former is a more likely scenario in most instances.
It is, therefore, important to calculate your daily energy requirements, which should ideally be done with the help of a qualified professional.
Kal ‘Sundaa’ hai aur aksar Lahori boizez (and girlzez) nay bahir nashta karna hota hai .. lehaza below is a handpicked selection of my favourite chana places in Lahore (and Kasur).
Butt Chanay – Pilots School, Wahdat road
Butt Kay chanay, outside Pilot School, Wahdat Colony, Wahdat Road, Lahore
Bohat aala and very different chanay jo thanday ‘kumbal Walay’ naan kay saath bhi achay lagtay hain. Sochen Zara level. Aye haye haye. Subhan Allah Ustaad Ji (the maraasi face).
Very well cooked chanay with a nice ‘garam masala kick’ to it. The ‘tarri’ unlike other places is not ‘nirra laal rung ka tel’. Enjj kar Kay a very nice mixture of khushk methi and mota mota garam masala. This adds on to the flavour in each ‘Luqma’ (halaqq say nikal kay).
Kofta was very soft and was more like masala bhara kofta. Had pyaaz and Halka sa masala in the centre.
Price: Rs. 70 for chanay. Rs. 20 ka aanda. Rs. 30 ka kofta shareef.
Timing: 7 am till 2 or 3 pm.
Rating: 9/10
Seating arrangement: Aik chatai Zameen pay ya phir paas khari motorcycles ki ‘gaddiyaan’. Khlo kay khao shabaaash
Agar nahin khaye Tay fer Dasti jao, chanay khao Tay luddiyaan paao. Shoonkria
Ameen Kay Chanay, Shamnagar, Chauburji
Ameen Chanay – Subhan Allah Astaad Ji (this is the marassi face) – Full of taste. Slight achaari type feel. Very well-balanced spice. Kofta quality and taste was very good. Garam garam ispayshall kulchay we’re spot on. Lassi was also very decent. Salad wala Raita is kay saath khana must hai. It further enhances the taste.
Price: Rs. 75 ki saadi half plate (Anda 25 rupay ka and kofta 30 rupay ka)
Rating: 9/10
Seating: Aaj kal to gari mai hee hai.
Saleem Butt Mutton Chanay, Urdu Bazar kay bahir.
Kya khaya?: Mutton Machli Plate. Undoubtedly, one of the best mutton chanay in Lahore. Amazingly balanced spices where no flavour dominates the other and you can feel all the ingredients in each bite. No ‘aftershocks’, No heavy feelingzzzz and no heartburn.
Yeh ispayshall kulchay payyan Saleem kay nahin hain .. they serve saada naan, who jo kumbal kay wich kaar kar kay rakhay hotay hain .. not a big fan of that ‘kumbal naan’ therefore, apnay ispayshall kulchay khud lay gaya tha .. from Ghani Jee Restaurant (right next to Tooba Chanay in Lakshmi. Bohat aala kulchay).
Price: Rs. 600 for Mutton Machli, Kofta Chanay for Rs. 70 and Anda Chanay for Rs. 150.
Rating: 10/10 for me.
Seating: Saleem Payyan has 2 extremes when it comes to seating. You either have to sit on chatai on footpath or you have to stand and eat. Kharay huay hazraat kay liye they have these 2 relatively high tables jis pay ‘sharing is caring’ ki basis pay multiple banday eat in one go. Number of banday varies depending on the sehat of the people standing there . .. meray jaisay bus 3 ya 4 he aaa saktay hain
Timing: I went at 9ish and the pateela was nakko nukk bhara hua .. which means you can be a little late and go till 10 or 10.30 but having said that, mutton machli milnay ki koi guarantee nahin itni late.
Tips: Apnay kulchay saath lay kay jayen if you don’t like ‘kumbal naan’ and secondly, take the Mall Road wala route if you go on a Sunday.
Haji Billa Makhan Chanay, Kasur
Kasur ki aik zabardast dareyaaft. Haji Billa Makhan Chanay (Interesting naam hai hai?). Bohat he aala chanay with a generous topping of desi makhan which they make in-house.
Makhan chanay – Creamy textured, well balanced spices served with ‘Tandoori Makhni Paratha’ and trust me aap nay Lahore mai aisay tandoori paratha nahin khaya. Rs. 80 for half plate (generous quantity). Paratha for Rs. 80. Rating: 10/10 for the combo. Difficult to beat.
Maghaz – Very average. Yeh nahin khana aap nay kiun kay mehnga bhi hai aur aitna acha bhi nahin hai. Rs. 300.
Had the above items from Haji Billa. They are serving chanay since last 37 years now.
Bao Saleem Mutton Chanay, Qila Lachman Singh, Lahore
Quality: Mutton Machli with Chanaaz. Shorba style Bareek chanay in an amazing mutton Yakhni with a til-o-til garma gram ispayshall kulcha. Blown away in the first bite. Have never tasted better mutton chanay before. Mutton was ‘Makhan’. Bari mushkil say, diet ka khayal rakhtay huay, sirf 2 kulchay khaye .. very difficult to resist. Khabardaar kisi nay Ghulam Rasool ka naam bhi liya. Qeemat: Their price range is from Rs. 70 (for saada chanay) to Rs. 670 (for Mutton Machli). Mai nay choonkay kuch maheenay say paisay jama kiye huay tay so I went for the mehngi item (you know ). Mutton Plate starts from Rs. 320 onwards. Mahol: Pathan-o-pathan mahol tha because bilkul baaju mai to sabzi mandi hai .. no family seating/hall and be ready to share your table with 2 to 3 different clients of theirs as the place is crowded. I was told that families do come but pretty early like 6 or 7 am at max and are served in the car.
Timing: He said subah but I think us waqt raat he hoti hai .. as per his statement, subah 3.30 am say 11ish. Location: https://goo.gl/maps/GWt7pPZU4h3BNEsp8
… kaafi arsay say Butt aur mai ‘lukkan meeti’ khel rahay thay .. mai un ko itwaar ko dhoondta tha aur woh jaan kay chutti kar letay thay .. phir I came to know kay Butt sb ko tarss aagaya hai aur Itwar kay din bhi subah jaldi uthnay ka faislaa kar liya hai …Had Mutton Chanay on recommendation of Waqas Khan .. Waqas payyan tussi great ho .. maula khush rakhay!

Abbasi Chai almost in the middle of the old purani Anarkali food street has decent doodh patti. Time kum thaw arna abhi mai nay aur bhi kaafi kuch khana tha .. tour finished off with my favourite Hazelnut Cappuccino from CBTL, as always.
