Voluptuous Paya

If you are a desi food lover then you should have eaten Paya. But, its difficult to make it at home and it takes way too much time to be cooked. Fazal-e-Haq provides best Paya and it tastes just like home made paya.


Fazl e Haq or Mr. Phajja was perhaps the first person who commercialized the idea by coming up with a Paye speciality restaurant in the Red Light District (Taxali gate) named as Phajjay ke Paye. People would (and still) flock to this place every morning and wait in queues to have a breakfast of paya. You eat it with Roti or Kulcha. Another reason for having started his venture in the red light district of Lahore was perhaps the purportedly aphrodisiac nature of this meal. Aphrodisiac or not, it is rich in cholesterol for sure.


Fazl e Haq has now grown into a chain of restaurants covering almost all the major areas of Lahore. This includes Fotress Stadium (you can see that in the picture), Gawalmandi, Red light district, Model Town. The new menu includes typical desi food stuff in addition to their specialty.

You must go to the Taxali gate outlet to have the authentic experience. It is very close to the Shahi Mosque. If you think the Siri Paye experience can be risky, you should go to the Fotress Stadium outlet.
