Food Street
Food Street in Gawalmandi, Lahore is a centre of traditional Pakistani food. The site is surrounded by centuries old buildings and places like Landa Bazaar, Mayo Hospital and Baansan-wala Bazaar. The food street is open to traffic in the morning but as the sun sets, the street is blocked off. Hungry visitors arrive and stay till very late at night, enjoying some of the best local food available in Lahore. The traditional Kashmiri-Persian architecture can still be seen, used extensively in buildings surrounding that place, as seen in the pictures below. The pictures were taken without a flash, in order to capture the ambiance of food street. One simply cannot miss going here once in Lahore. It is the ultimate place to check out if you want to know the true lahori culture. Apart from the food, its the people, the shops, the live 'chefs', the well-preserved almost historic buildings that are the real crowd pullers!
