Lahori cuisine

In recent times, the style of food has achieved popularity in a number of different countries, because of its palatable and milder taste, mainly through the Pakistani diaspora.

[1] The arrival of Islam within South Asia influenced the local cuisine to a great degree as Muslims are forbidden to eat pork or consume alcohol along with the other enforced Islamic dietary laws.

Pakistanis focus on other areas of food such as beef, lamb, chicken, fish, lentils and vegetables as well as traditional fruit and dairy.

The influence of Central Asian, North Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine in Pakistani food is ubiquitous.

Much of the food of Lahore is influenced by the local Punjabi and Mughlai cuisine.
