Lahori Seekh Kebab

Lahori Seekh Kebab

Punjab

Juicy, spiced minced meat kebabs grilled on skewers over live charcoal — the smell alone will bring your entire neighbourhood to the gate. Lahori seekh kebab is richer and spicier than its Peshawari cousin, packed with herbs and fried onion for moisture and depth.

Beef Seekh Kebab Lahori

Beef Seekh Kebab Lahori

Punjab

Lahori Beef Seekh Kebab is the street food king of the Punjab — minced beef packed with fresh herbs and spices, skewered and grilled over coal until charred outside and juicy within. This is the kebab that defines Lahori food culture.

Chicken Seekh Kebab

Chicken Seekh Kebab

Punjab

Chicken Seekh Kebab is the lighter, equally delicious cousin of the beef original — minced chicken thigh meat seasoned with fresh herbs and subtle spices, grilled to juicy perfection. Perfect for those who prefer white meat without compromising on flavour.

Mutton Seekh Kebab

Mutton Seekh Kebab

KP

KP Mutton Seekh Kebab is the finest expression of the seekh kebab form — minced mutton with mountain herbs and Peshawari spicing, cooked in a tandoor to a spectacular char. Rich, smoky, and unforgettable.

Malai Seekh Kebab

Malai Seekh Kebab

Punjab

Malai Seekh Kebab is the luxurious white sibling of the classic seekh — mince marinated in cream, cheese, and mild spices, then grilled to a pale golden perfection. Mild, melt-in-your-mouth, and spectacularly good.

Sindhi Seekh Kebab

Sindhi Seekh Kebab

Sindh

Sindhi Seekh Kebab brings the bold, spice-forward character of Sindhi cuisine to this classic form — with distinctive additions like dried mango powder (amchur) and extra green chilli that create a seekh unlike anything you've had before.
