Good Taste But needs improvementBut service was GoodA House of Thinkers and writersI like it very Much

PAK TEA HOUSE Traditionally frequented by countrys notably artistic, cultural and literary personalities, it was founded by a Sikh family in 1940 and quickly acquired its current name after it was leased to one of the locals in Lahore after the partition of India in 1947. Intervention of Lahore High Court and led to the re-opening of the Tea House in 2013. Noted for being the birthplace of influential literary movement, the Progressive Writers Association, the place is described as house of writers and thinkers who serve the nation selflessly.

This place has a credibility due to many factors...1. Historical value as it was constructed before partition2. Taste of shami kabab, donuts and tea is too good and i have tasted only these so far3. Environment is good and apart from being indoor place smokers can smoke too4. There are often literary parties and get togethers being held there which can one can enjoy too5. Its economical tooThe only flaw of Pak Tea House is there slow service

So it was around 7 on the clock when a freind of mine asked me to acompany him to a place called The Pak Tea house.well for starters I had heard lot about this Tea House , about their ambiance , also about the the historic refrence of the place and all.Believe you me their i tried one of the most Finest cardimum tea ive ever tasted and the biggest plus of this place is that this place has a special Ambiance that is so soothing that youll feel like never leaving from theirThe sandwiches were good and freshly made.Brownie was not as good as its looking the picture but over all the experience was top notch.Ambiance 9/10Service 9/10Tea 100/10

A quaint tea place with a huge historical significance. The foot print on the literary scene is huge but only as a window in the past. A must visit for those who wish to take a peep in the past and sip hot tea amidst photographs of literary giants of Lahore

Feel honoured to have a cup of tea where renowned intellectuals, writers and poets used to visit, sit and write/produce classic literature.

Historical place of Nasir kazmi, intazar Hussian but little expensive

Always remind me that there was places where our great writers and thinkers used to sit, exchange ideas, and enhance knowledge of each other. we are in short of such places in Pakistan now. Even Hujra, which was a good communicating place is extinguishing.

Good place for tea and snacks. Cozy ambiance with good food serving

Their cardamom tea is great with a plate of biscuits/ cakes. But they need to put more power outlets for laptop charging and work on the ambience/ cleanliness of its ground floor.

Quality of tea was normal. Ambiance was good. Its a good place to sit with friends and family.

Best quality tea. Good place for family sitting together and with friends historical place. Danishwar sit here poet sit here conversation between them very useful I love this place when I eneter this place I fell very good very very memorable placeSituated on mall road

Most economical please to go with companions and have looooong conversations.

Certainly the best place to have a cup of tea. Peaceful environment. Highly recommended

They make best tea in town. Apart from being affordable, the taste of tea is splendid. Taste debate apart, you could also meet stars of Urdu Literature (اردو ادب) there.

Its an historic tea place but only pictures doesnt make it historic.Tablds and chair need to b replaced. Air conditioning not properly working sometimes.Staff discuss their own issues in that place.But tea was fantastic.

A traditional tea experience. Best suited for people around Anarkali, GCU, Secretariat.Visit for an excellently satisfying cup of tea..

Very organised sitting plan but the cant impress me. Kinda cold.

Great place. Good and co operative staff

When friends asks me where to visit in Lahore,Pak Tea House is the first thing that comes in my mind.5/5

Good place but many times there is no space left behind for u to sit. And many times half of things in menu are not available ....

Amazing little place. I did try a couple of snacks along with superb tea. Everything was great. It’s a must visit place.

Loved our visit to Pak tea house. Felt so inspired to be sitting in the same space as some of Pakistan’s greatest literary figureheads. The tea was awesome!

Simple tea is unavailable here. Dont know why. Cardamon tea is expensive but one takes it just for being on an historical place

The review is for the tea and its their speciality. Its very very good

As usual a marvellous and calm place having beauty in drinks.

Ok if u just want to sit with friends somewhere... Otherwise food is horrible mostly

Best tea in town

Its an intellectual tea cafe. One of the amazing places in Lahore.

Want to spend good time with old fellows just go there

Best for having Quality time with yourself.

Preety calm place with good quality tea... It was my first visit to this place and i loved to come again

Loved the tea and the environment there, staff is pretty friendly.

Response time is horrible. We left the place without eating..

Very noisy place but tea was awesome. Dating point for NCA and OLD CAMPUS students.

If you are searching for inspiration for writing poetry, try making tea. Makingtea has color, smell and sound. You can feel the warmth of the cup and taste the tea as you drink. You can focus on the leaves or the pot.

A good place to sit. But was too humid because of no ventilation or cooling system. Better to visit in winters. But quite economical and exactly in accordance with the purpose of its inception.

I Love this place ... This is a place where many Poets, Writers, Scholars visited and took tea just like Allama Iqbal, Ashfaq Ahmed etc. ... Tea taste is very special here ...

Beautiful and poetic place use to hub for Urdu Literature

A historical tea caffee ,people use to come for tea and recreation.

The cardamom tea was fantastic. I didnt like the brownies tbh. But giving it a 5 star because of the heretical importance. The gallery and the environment is artistic.

Their tea has the depth and richness of a hundred years. The brownies are so delicious that you may lose the track of time and space. The biscuits ever so flaky and tender are not so sweet as go give you diabetes but it will fill your heart with joy and happiness.Must visit once in a lifetime. Greatest cafe ever.

Pak Tea House is a historical place for students and poets. I spend quality time there. This is a nice place for chit chat. The tea was awesome.

We went there after a trip to anarkali because of the history of this place.Regular tea that was rs 35 was not available, no reason given. We only had tea and soaked in the place where manto and Faiz etc came and hung out and discussed literature and politics.The place needed a fly trap as we kept slapping flys off our tea and ourselves.

The historical place with one the finest tea in Lahore. By sitting and sipping tea here give you a unique feeling of the presence of great names of literature.

I loved this experience! A very peaceful place and I loved the company of books!!!!Special cinnamon tea and snaks were delicious!!!

The food is not so fun.But this food which is very cheap and it is reasonable.

Great place for Urdu Literature Lovers

Very old historic place.

Very calm and peaceful place for tea lovers, tea only 25 to 60 rs.

You will feel nostalgic aura if you are a literature fanatic. The best place to spend quality time with friends and at the same time have a cup of worlds famous drink, chaye.

Nice place with a literary and historic touch. Prices and quality of items is reasonable.

Nice place.️

Historical place double story on Mall Road where in Old days all intellectuals, political, poets and Pakistan movements heros used to sit. Photographs of all the figures have been posted here.Wide variety of tea and coffee is available on reasonable rates. No issue of parking. Staff is courteous. One must visit this place.

Wonderful, artistic, poetic, legends place...

Its a good place to casually spend the time and quite economical but its quite crowded sometimes and smell of cigarettes is everywhere coz of bad ventilation. Not comfortable sitting area.However, it has historical background and on and off meetings of literary societies are held here. Cardemum tea and browny are tasty

One of the best identities of Lahore. A historic cozy place to sit and take a break from busy life. Must visit place

Great Place for Literature lovers.... here you can meet many of popular pakistani literary people like poets, writers, columnists etc.

The only place left for book lovers n intellectuals in Lahore. However, constant smoking n noisy gatherings have marginalized the original charm. Administration must work on this issue. Still it is my favorite place to go. :)

It was nice experience but humidity was bit high there also its un controllable when people doing smoking

A legendary tea house in Lahore. I popped in for coffee on a cold winter morning, and came back the next day for breakfast. Great vibes.

Love this place .. nice menu.. affordable and also they are having taste and quality

Historical place. I learnt a lot from the pictorial and textual views around. Clean environment. Tea/ eatables service time seemed a bit unusually long.

The best chai i have ever had. And a good cheap cafe

House of thinkers and writers amazing tea shop since 1948 , decades witnessed the wisdom and culture in this place , one can feel the “urdu” literature growth in this place by the great peoples pics spread on the walls

Historical place to visit to enjoy the tea

Good tea. Very nice place to hang out with your friends and unlimited chitchat.

Tea is machine made..... And expensive

This place is oldest tea point in lahore. Situated in the days of separation of Pakistan. This place also provides a peaceful atmosphere and a premium service.

Coffee quality was too good. Fast food items are not good. Environment was awesome.

If you have a taste of poetry and interested in history, I recommend you, should visit, you will like it. Because, it gives you a historical and heritage taste.

Cozy place to have tea, read or simply spend some time with yourself or a small learned group. Really recommend it.

This place is specific for literary purpose. So if you wanna enjoy that environment, plz come. Food is not special.

Most Famous and Historic Tea place for intellect

An old and reknowned place of intellectual gathering with economical food mostly in snacks category

Best place for Gup Shap with friends. Reasonable prices

Its a cozy place. The food isnt of some high standard but it reminds you of our culture. The aura of the place and the pictures hanging can give an image of how our literary people used to hang out. Chai is mast!

Nice place with old touch of awesomeness !!

It was an experience of sharing space with great writers like Faiz and Manto. The ambience was awesome, it radiated intellectual energy. Taste of tea contained in unusual mugs shall last for years. My friends Dr.S S Sangha and poet Satish Gulati also gathered the same experience.

Located nearby neela gumbad at the corner of signal mall road. It is a historic place which has been restored for almost last half of a decade and famous among youth especially. An OK place

I had a wonderful experience with Pak Tea House. I took delicious tea and recited my poetry at there.

Expansive and zero quality.

Good for Meet up..Staff is non professional not as Expected well Mannered......

The place has his own vintage look and the tea is ok Ill say.
