Nice food and good ambiance. Need to improve lighting though.
Food was good. Taste not soo special as expected
That was an awesome experience. A good place to enjoy food and the environment. Food was really good like qawa was good. Kabuli rice and khada mutton was delicious. A good place to enjoy and spend time for every gender especially youngsters. Lahori girls and boys were having fun.
Actually 4.5Dum pukht 50n 5Rest is OK, not a big menu
There are two restaurants one is Karak khail for high tea and the second one is ‘Spice of east’ which serves continental foods..Spice of east is absolutely not worth visiting place, ambience is good but food quality is pathetic specially never order Mutton things, they serve fowl smelling Karahi....Karak Khail is good place and they serve good sneaks..
Very good ambiance and service with excellent food quality. Value for money
I have visited 3 times and taste remains same of each item but they have to improve service level
I like everything about this hotel delicious food, environment & decency.
I found myself incredibly impressed by the ambiance that Spice of East had to offer. Within a few minutes, I knew it would become my new favorite winter spot. It had the most striking outdoor décor with a juxtaposed mixture of tribal accents and the quirkiness of a roadside dhaba. The walls had been painted a bright yellow and decorated with riveting frames depicting truck art and horse shows from across the country.The most fascinating arrangement was perhaps their bonfire, which also serves as a tea stall for their tandoori chai and various other specialties. The wooden bowls that are used to serve the tea are first heated on coals, while the kettle is also bubbling nearby. While I’m not big on tea, the experience was so fascinating that I couldn’t help but try a cup. It had a sublime aroma and I could taste the tandoori flavor synonymous with the coals. The sugary richness of pure gurr (jaggery) took it to another level. If you’re a tea lover you’ll love this experience. Karakhel offers a variety of green teas, and I really enjoyed sipping their suleimani and peshawari kehwa.
I came to know about the place as its famous for Dumba Sajji/ Dum Phukht.. got reservation on phone and visited with friends. It was jam packed due to Saturday night. We got our table before time and ordered Dumba karahi and lamb sajji. They took 40 minutes in serving. But it was worth the wait. One of the best Dumba karahi Ive ever had and the lamb sajji was awesome too. Top notch ambience. Highly recommended place. Bill was around 5800 RS.
Nice ambiance
What a beautiful ambience loved this place and tandoori angra tea is fantastic
I was at the place at 6 pm but the best time to visit is late night. I had tea there which was good. Sitting area is totally desi having wooden chairs of several types. The out look is amazing. Services are fabulous... People must try the place
Outdoor sitting with very good environment. Excellent food at very competitive prices.
Tried khadda here for the very first time. It was delicious!! The whole experience was amazing. I got to see how and where they prepare it. The rice that comes with khadda tastes really nice too. I loved the rice more than the khadda. It was full of dry fruits and had dates in it too. Loved the ambience and environment. A must try.Will definitely visit this place too.
Ok first of all the food was very price i would say its taste is ok but not something different that you should pay 1450 for khadda gosht which is barely for 1 person serving I mean value for moneyThe serving was very small there half Kg karhi was only for 1.3 person.By the way both times food was not hot and this is the base of desi food .I must say the ambiance is amazing on mostly towards karak Khail chayee area where people are enjoying tea and gupshapThe waiters are kind of from lost world and manager is able to handle the order however he was not even well trainedThe worst is they are charging gst but dont have facility to accept cards which clearly shows they are honest.
Ambience of this Restaurant is very good but the taste of food was not so much good. I ordered green handi and malai boti. Malai boti was not juicy as it should be;it was a bit dry. Green Handi was taste wise better than Malai boti but it was cooked in excessive oil. Hygiene is a problem in this restaurant, the glasses which they served us for water were smelly, one of my family member asked them to replace them with new clean glasses. And the waiter did replace them, but again the same smell came from those glasses.
Costly han if campare with others
Very delicate.. nice environment, good food, okay service, must go restaurant..
Food was ok. Ambience average.
Great outdoor sitting arrangement and environmentHighly recommended.....Sehri Time
Good environment to spend your weekend. But its not value for money. Good prices are ridiculously high. But tandoori chai is good
If youre looking for a long drive with an excellent ending with some delicious food. Just head East, I mean to spice of east. Their karahis are class apart. Loved it everytime.So what are you waiting for?
Order single serving kehwa here. It was served in a chainak for about 2.5 cups. Shakkar, white sugar and lemon were its side compliments.
Food is good prices little high. But enjoyable place with food n music
Great outdoor place for a fun filled outing with friends. They have recently installed mist showers which makes it a great place for outdoor seating in dry and hot April to June period. Food is average. Bun Plaster is best thing here. Tea is ok.
Nice place. Great environment. Location a bit difficult to reach. But over all it was a great experience.
If you have good company and like local culture you will have fun.
Just had tea there which was amazing and so refreshing. Looking forward to dine in there now. Loved the open air and space and Punjabi desi touch to the space and yes loud music on the move n groove. Just leaving a star behind for food I guess which if i like in future Ill give it all 5. Kudos!
Food is really good and tasty. Environment is great as well. Only thing that disturbs is those qawaals singing qawaalis in super high volume.
Delicious Dampkhut and karak chaye
Loved it,great food,perfect environment and friendly staff.worth it
Mutton ... Lovely & juicy
Open air sitting.Best for winters
I was here as a foreign tourist last week. Such a great place to spend your night tasting genuine cuisine and beverages of Pakistan
Expensive with normal taste, only ambiance is good
Good ambiance but not so good food.
Lovely ambience, delicious food. Absolutely recommended
Nice atmosphere Food is Good... BUT... BUT..... Management is worst. As Number of Customers Increases. They Really Fail To Manage the Orders. Sometimes it takes Hours To get your order. And Sometimes They will Serve You Someones elses Order. THEY SERIOUSLY NEED TO WORK ON IT.. My Last 3 visits were Really worst.. It Opens Till late night.Good place to hangout with Friends. Kids and Families are not recommended specially After Sun Set.
Tooooo goood Highly Recommended
Best place to visit in winters,bit u can always order takeaways in summers. Food is yummy and price are too good.
If youre looking for a nice place to sit for some tea or lemonade and nothing else this is the place to go . The lights and sitting is great especially in cold weather. But the service is exceptionally slow and the food items expensive . The lemonade was good .
Beautiful weather and excellent food make this outdoor venue a treat for the cooler months in lahore. try the kaali mirch karahi, and then head over to the next door cafe karak khel for some chai (or better, ice cold lassi)
Mixed place with karak khail, need to distinguish
Good point for hotel
It was awesome. Amazingly delicious food. Khadda mutton was out of this world. Beef kababs were one of the best in town. Rest of the dishes that we tried was delicious as well. Indoor sitting is very limited but it has got spacious outdoor area. Wonderful experience. A must, in my opinion. I would have given it 4.5 stars, but that option is not there.
Gave us some fond memories of New Year Night. The place was jam-packed and the fireworks were amazing. Kudos to you guys!
It was great experience. Loved it
Food is very good. Spicy food. Chicken and mutton karhai both are good. Sheesh tauk is very spicy and good in taste. Sitting environment is very good. Open air grassy lawn is around the area. Prices are very reasonable.
Loved the experience. Not so spicy food - according to my friends. Not a very big fan of ultra spicy food, hence my satisfaction level was much better than theirs.
Need to visit again to review service experience.
Delicious food ,nice ambiance,a bit costly.
The best place I ever visited in winters. Good quality of food and live music
That is awesome place & کرک خیل the treatment of relaxation & remove exity good work
Great service,food, ambiance
Nice experience. I m a regular visitor. Always, Simply Awesome
Good place affordable rates good quality if food
Food was tasty and delicious. Ambience was perfect for dining out and in open
Open air dhaba style restaurant with some indoor seating. Ambience and service is simple. Food is good.
Taste is Awesome but Over PricedExtra Expensive
One of the best outdoor places in Lahore. A must try. A good place to hang out with friends.They just need to work a little bit on their service.
Very nice ambience, food quality superb
Thats the great place to spend time with friends
Good little place, they have a good tea
Three stars for place but I would give 2/5 for food taste, and quite high prices for food items
Out class atmosphere and quality food and taste
Good but overpriced tea. ambiance is v good.
I love the open air ambiance. Suitable for an outing during good weather
Perfect ambience.. taste 9/10
Good Food & ambiance ..
Best in Town. Lively ambiance and traditional great taste.
Havent had there tea yet, for food its much overly priced. Taste is nothing special.
They did not mention that paye in their menu were cows paye rather than being bakray kay paye. They made a mistake in the bill too. The bill was higher. When asked about it, the waiter couldnt make sense of it. After arguing for 15 minutes, they were able to rectify the bill.
Lovely place,lovely atmosphere, yummy food and classy tanduri tea. People must go there.
The food is better than what is expected from such a place but they seem to be playing catch up with the hype they have built judging by the the plethora of people they have over the weekend, especially. The tandoori chai is overrated but do try it once if youre willing to pay 200 for a cup. Other than that they have outdoor space with lots of coal heaters to keep you warm and cozy!
Good ambiance, above average food but quite poor service
The setting in dead ,waiters take a long time to even show the menu
With good taste
Service needs some improvement and the operations need to be streamlined some more, but otherwise good experience.
Visited Karak Khel for famous Tandoori TeaOnly USP of the tea is presenting in a mud pot otherwise taste is just OKOutdoor sitting arrangement is unique and refreshingLIVE music especially Qawali Night is worth enjoying but visiting with family especially kids on music nights isnt recommended due to extreme rush and smoking all aroundTo me its good place to hangout but a bit overpriced
Great ambiance but truly the worst service in lahore. Order will take about 90mins to 120mins while nobody responds well when asked about the order. Need to improve service immediately. Secondly if a restaurant is taking 2hours for a simple cup if tea it should be hot, this is also not the case. So ill advice that they improve their service for long term success.
Malai boti ,Chicken makhni and lamb karahi were best but they had no toothpick lol
Excellent food, excellent service, courtious staff
Because, desi food cant get better than this
Great tasting good with a nice ambience.
Nice place quite and food is good. Service is brilliant. As whole its a good place one must explore
Nice modern dhabba , like the bonfire and tandori chai they have and the ludo and chess themed tables
Owned by a very dear friend. Do try their Khadda and new Chaye section. Recently they have started Breakfast as well.
Wonderful atmosphere, food was on point! Definitely worth a visit.
Bbq taste was not so good
