Tried ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? DHA, and for mutton lovers—it’s a must! ???????????????????????? ???????????????? Unka Masala Rosh was full of flavour. Thick red gravy, perfectly cooked mutton, and deep shinwari masalay. Juicy, spicy, and tender meat that falls off the bone. Pure taste, no extra oil drama. ???????????????? Roti was just right—crispy outside, soft inside. Not rubbery or dry. Masala rosh ke sath perfect combo. ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? Meal ke end mein unki gurr wali kehwa ne maza double kar diya. Light, warm, aur natural sweetness. Digestive bhi, taste mein bhi best. ???????????????????????????????? & ???????????????????????????? Clean, open setup. Family-friendly. Fast service, fresh food, no rush. Desi feel with comfort. ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????? Masala Rosh: Roti: Kehwa: Overall: 10/10 For a real mutton experience in Lahore, Ghani Shinwari DHA is the spot
I absolutely love this restaurant! The food exceeded all my expectations. They serve 100% fresh lamb, making it a must-visit spot for quality food lovers. Due to fresh preparation, the serving time for lamb dishes is around 1.5 hours, so be prepared to wait. We ordered kehwa as a starter, which helped pass the time. The restaurant has a spacious seating area, making it a great place for gatherings with friends and family. The atmosphere is comfortable, and they also offer rooms and private cabins for added privacy. Parking is ample for both cars and bikes, and the cleanliness—especially the well-maintained toilets—is commendable. We ordered Shinwari Karahi, Sulemani Karahi, and Chapli Kabab. Though the food was delayed beyond the promised time, it was absolutely worth the wait. By the time it arrived, we were freezing, but the rich flavors and freshness made up for it. The only downside was the slow service, which could definitely be improved. Overall, if you’re looking for delicious, freshly prepared food and don’t mind waiting a bit, this place is highly recommended!
Best taste! The waiting time is a bit long, but if you’re with friends and want to enjoy some gupshup while waiting, it’s totally worth it.
They've created a good setup there in DHA Phase 6. Environment and ambiance is really good. Parking is quite spacious as well but even that was filled at dinner time. They took longer in serving the order, even we order a couple hours before. Food quality was good and lemon soda after that was like icing on the cake.
They probably have the best taste when it comes to mutton, and the service is always amazing. This is my go-to spot for mutton, truly a heaven for mutton lovers. Not only mutton, but their chicken dishes are also full of flavor. The restaurant has huge parking space and very spacious indoor and outdoor seating, which makes the experience even better.
Ghani Shirwani Restaurant has an excellent ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating options, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. While the service can be a little slow at times, the food is tasty and well-prepared. Overall, I recommend this place for a nice and enjoyable meal.
