Restaurants in Southern Punjab

  1. A

    Bundu Khan

    Next door to Zanzibar, although not as funky, this restaurant still gets the thumbs up. The waiters are obliging and there's pleasant alfresco dining (indoor seating is also available). The Pakistani cuisine is tasty but can be fiery, so request less chilli if your taste buds aren't up for the ride. Alternatively, opt for the Chinese or fast-food offerings, which include chicken honey wings and chicken cheeseburgers.

    The 'kids club' will keep your little monsters occupied while you steal some quiet time.

    Shangrilla

    In the Cantonment area, just off Quaid-i-Azam Rd, Shangrilla is a relaxing place to chow down on Multan's finest Chinese cuisine. The menu includes golden oldies such as sweet'n'sour chicken and beef with lemon sauce.

    Zanzibar

    Hip and happening, Zanzibar has attentive staff, a chic interior and a swanky circular bar (all that's missing is the alcohol!). The ambitious menu here sports everything from seafood chowder, to hot dogs, to Mexican chicken fajitas. Zanzibar's dessert list even includes an Australian-inspired 'summer pavlova'.

    Zanzibar 4 Seasons Restaurant

    With an attractive interior and good food, this is Bahawalpur's finest restaurant. There are Pakistani, Continental, Chinese and even a few Mexican dishes. Recommendations include the roast beef burgers, jumbo garlic prawn and honey pepper chicken. If your tummy is twisting, try a cup of soothing green tea.

    Panda Chinese Restaurant

    Comfortably appointed, this is the place to come for familiar wok-tossed favourites such as Szechwan beef. However, like most Chinese restaurants on the subcontinent, the food here is more spice-infused than usual, catering to local tastes.

    Shangrilla Gardens & Barbecue Restaurant

    You can opt for standard Pakistani or Continental food here, eaten indoors or out in the garden. The jug of lassi (yogurt and iced-water beverage) is sure to quench the most savage summer thirst.

    Pan Pizza

    Opposite Panda, Pan does tasty pizzas as well as a limited variety of burgers and Chinese fare. The delicious hot and spicy pizza does, as the name suggests, leave your taste buds tingling.

  10. Tasty Plus Restaurant

    The chefs here do a fairly good job of Pakistani, Chinese and Continental cuisine. The succulent mutton leg steam roast (Rs410 per 1kg serve) is enough for two.
