With another night in Lahore upon me, I set out to dive even deeper into its legendary street food! Come with me as explore Lahore at night, meet some of its amazing street food masters, and try a dynamic rooster karahi, laddu peethi, an outstanding butt samosa, and much more in Pakistan!
My evening began at Molvi Gol Gappa with my friends Rashid and Adeel from Manaky. My goal for the night was to try all three dishes, which are all super famous here in town!

Our first dish of the night would be the laddu peethi, a lentil fritter served with chutneys and raita. We also got some golgappa, raita, a sweet chutney, a sour pani, and a sweet pani!
I loved the golgappa with raita, sweet chutney, and sweet pani. The chutney was almost like a glazy sweet-and-sour sauce. Between it and the pani, the golgappa was super sweet!
Then, I added some of the sour pani to the sweet pani and dipped the next one. It was delicious! The flavors were incredibly complex.
Next, we dove into the laddu peethi. You break off a bit of the laddu peethi with a spoon and then mix the raita and chutneys into it. It was so sweet and creamy!
The laddu absorbs all the chutneys, and the sour elements balance out the sweet chutney. The kick of spice from the pepper is a nice addition!
Our next stop was Butt Sweets and Bakery to try the butt samosa. The butt samosas are huge and crispy, with a doughy inside! They’re served with sour and fruit chutneys.
I’d never had a samosa like this one! The sweet fruit chutney was extraordinary. They were crispy on the outside and a little mushy on the inside with the potato filling.
There were so many incredible textures and flavors. The best thing to do is to mix the chutneys together. It’s my favorite samosa ever!
Then, we walked over to Butt Karahi, where they make a roasted rooster karahi. The roosters are on and in cages outside. You select the rooster you want and they’ll kill it and serve it to you!
Their seating area is outside, under the overpass. They pressure cook the chicken first and then continue the cooking process in pans on the stove top and add butter!
While we waited, I got an amazing massage from a gentleman under the overpass. He got my back, my neck, and even my arms, legs, and hands. It was the most relaxing way to pass the time before our dinner!
My legs had been aching from so much traveling but now I felt great! Then, he gave me an incredible head and chest massage!
After trying my hand at making the karahi in the kitchen, it was time to eat! They serve it in the giant pan!
We dove right in with some naan. The dish was so buttery, and there was a rich gravy in the pan as well. There were no tomatoes, unlike other types of karahi I’d had on the trip, but there were quite a few bones, so I had to be careful!
Karahi is one of my favorite Pakistani dishes. I was loving the butter and the organs. I got a nice piece of liver and the stomach. The ginger and gravy added so much flavor!
Even though we were full, we walked over to Butt Bakery & Sweets to get some carrot halwa and rabri milk to end our night!
The rabri milk reminded me of the liquid from a falooda and was the perfect after-meal palate cleanser. Meanwhile, the carrot halwa was hot, crumbly, and sweet. I liked taking a bite of the halwa with a sip of the rabri milk!
