Whenever we talk about eatery options in Lahore,
mostly you will not find Al-Nahal in the list or you can say most discussed
list. Mostly due to miss conception of its rate probably. But after couple of
visits first with my family and now with my friends ,I believe this is the best
indoor cabin environment with nitty curtains, Arabic food restaurant which
serves best for your money.
We ,G7’s, after less discussion that is not tradition of our
group decided to go for Al-Nakhal to celebrate the “Hushee” of our friend ,ZJ
the man who initiated this blog. We reached there around 9pm. My friends were already occupied a cabin
that was right in front of the main entrance of Al-Nakhal. This gave good idea
of customers of eatery later on J.Our
host gave order as he was honorable host for this beautiful night. He ordered following
items.
1.
Al Nakhal special soup..it was 93-b soup mostly
present in menus @ 430
2.
Grilled Lamb Legg (Served with rice)….it was
good for two persons @ 1495Rs
3.
Mutton Kabhul Handi (Served with white sauce)@
570
4.
Lebanese Tikka @ 495
5.
White wine (Pine Apple with white grapes) @ 170
6.
Blue Logon (Blue berries with Pine Apple) @ 170
Order was served in good spirit and we were impressed with
the service. Soup was fantastic. At first look I was on doubt about the quality
but it was great .I can’t write a lot about the quality and taste about roasted
Lamb Legg. Simply outstanding. Taste of Handi’s were great too. Lubnani Tikka’s,
ZJ liked that very much but others including me were looking merely satisfied
with them. May be we were new to this Arabic taste. The way everyone got share
of lamb Legg reminded me the marriages in my village. It forced to order once
more J.
In last I can’t forget to mention the great taste of drinks.
White wine and Blue Logon were awesome Especially blue Logon.

One thing that I can mention in first try the video display
of nice Arabic songs was missing. May it is not worth to mention but one of our
friend was crying for video of “Belly Dance” J
It is little congested, I mean I am not very fond of small cabin sitting especially with my
friends. We were laughing and chatting. People in other cabin may feel
uncomfortable.
In short it is good option especially if you are looking for
change. Prices are not on very high side especially if we talk other than
roasted Legg.

Wow, what an experience this was. This restaurant reminded me of Arabian restaurants of Detroit, MI which houses largest population of Arabs outside of Arab world. This was truly an amazing experience.
Starting from decor, the tables are setup in tent style with both chairs and floor seating available. They have separate area for family seating.
Food was great. What I like best is Lebanese tikka which was very juicy, true to the taste of how it should be. Not overcooked. Lamb leg was also very good but was more desi style than Arabic style.
I ordered Blue Lagoon from the juices and it was very tasty. Again, it reminded me of Detroit where it is a speciality of Arabian restaurants.
Service was excellent too.
The only area where they need to improve is parking space. Although I was able to get space in front of the main entrance but I guess there are limited spaces only.
And yes they need to light up the exterior. This restaurant is hardly noticable, specially in front of Yasir Broast which is all lighting and can be spotted from a distance. But then these two are class apart.
We went at Al Nakhal and inspired by their Decor and presented food starting from soap (as usual 19B) till the drinks. Every thing that we can mark out for a restaurents is extraordinary. This restaurent is good for both friends party or dinning with family.
