Visited Al-Nakhal and the only thing that impressed my was there Ambiance and thats about it.The food was not up to the mark at all.Chicken Makhni Handi 3/10Chicken Boti 7/10Chicken Malai Boti 7/10The staff was also not cooperative at all as we had to wait for some friends for a little while but they were asking us after every 5 mnts to place an orderOver all experience 5/10.

I visited here 2nd time with my friends, pleasant n soothing ambiance as it is named. Arabian music recalled me Ertugrul drama it was like i m staying in a سرائے . Staff was well mannered n well behaved. We ordered desi food n they served it in time according to their given time. Food Quality n taste was good. Families n friends can visit here for dine in but i dnt recommend it for kids.

Staff attitude and Food Quality is really not good keeping in view the prices.Also the menu is misleading, beef is mentioned in multiple dishes but theyll give you mutton without prior consent or even letting you know. They do not present beef for any of the dish in the menu.

AlNakhal is a very good restaurant for specially arabain foods. I visit there many times for dinner mostly I was happy but just one time after opening after corona virus there was staff short so I disappointed. There is General Manager Mr. Saleem is very nice person he always deal us with very respect and honor.

Their lamb mandi is amazingly delicious. Hummus is an excellent starter along with their special soup. Arabic qahwa is a must-have at the end. The seating, the ambience... everything is up to the mark. The only downside is the rush of people in peak hours which makes their staff inaccessible and difficult to get a hold of.

One of the best desi food resturent in Lahore but I should say they are not as good as Bombay Chowpatty resturent is. I recommend this place if you have a high budget.

1 star is only for the environment but the food and the service was not like it was before.Arabian food which is Thier speciality , was like Chinese food and sauce made with only cornflour,while even in covid , we take the table after first table (clients) empty (finish) but they even not clean the place and invite us and urges us to take that place on sane way,I will never recommend this restaurant again in this situation and this taste of food.

STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED. I visited Al Nakhl yesterday and ordered Apple Salad, Laham Nashaif & Dajjaj Nashaid. Laham wasn’t properly cooked, low quality rice was served and no taste at all. I am literally ashamed of inviting my friend at this place. Please don’t judge book by its cover.

A big No To this restaurent, I went to have some arabic cuisine and ordered their Mandi. and Honestly, it was not arabic mandi,thats was a kind of palao, never ever come here to for arabic taste, you will never get the real tasteIf you never lived in gulf then yes, it will be fine for u, but a person like me who live in gulf will never recommend. It was a big bluff that they were using spicy rice in mandi, Ketchup and Mayoness as sauces. Nuts etc in rice.0/10 for arabic food

Otherwise there Arabian food is awesome, but buffet dinner in Ramzan is always of very low quality. Atmosphere was hot. Too much rushy and most importantly the quality of food was very low, taste was awful. Food quantity was short, even people were unable to get an item second time.

Oh boy, we got something special here. You know, being a fan of continental food I always thought that an Arabian cuisine might be the last thing to impress me this much. I was wrong! Al Nakhals food is sensational. It leaves within you a memory of taste that keeps of forcing you to come back here time after time, over and over again. I recommend trying their Dajaj-al-Fahm (if thats how it is spelled).Other than that, the ambiance is pretty cool, theyve got a whole Arabic style setup going on. Staff is friendly and very polite. Service is amazing. Overall... Love it.

Al Nakhal Arabian Cuisine is situated on the main road opposite Shaukat Khanam providing easy access from even Outside Lahore through Thokar Niaz Beg. Well maintained arabian culture dining along with arabian dishes. Order takes around 30-40 mins. A man in arabian suit is always present to welcome the guests.
