Fort Road Food Street
The city of Lahore is known for its enticing food and if the food is served under the shadows of historic grandeur the taste is multiplied with the add-ons of the momentous ambiance and serenity. Set inside the famous “Taxali Gate” Walled City of Lahore, near the historic ensemble of Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort, is the mystifying Fort Road Food Street for people looking for something different. In short, a hub of true Lahori food in a surreal setting. Cuckoo’s Den, the oldest heritage building of famous painter Iqbal Hussein on the street, is very popular among national and international tourists because of its unique food with traditional recipes. The artwork and artifacts inside and outside the building, the statues, antiques, marble arches, paintings, fixtures and carved pieces of stones and huge wooden doors and jharokas are the memoirs of history. A wall decorated with antique locks and keys opens one’s mind into the great doors of the ancient times. Besides the paintings, one can also see the remains of some Hindu Temples and Churches.
