I popped in on a Sunday early evening, hoping to beat the rush, and thankfully, it wasn't too packed. The ambiance was relaxed, a perfect setting for some laid-back street food indulgence. First up on my order, and a true classic, was the Samosa Chaat. And let me tell you, Lahore Chatkhara did not disappoint! The samosas themselves were perfectly crisp, filled with that delightful spiced potato and pea mixture, and then generously topped with all the chaat essentials – cool yogurt, tangy chutneys, chickpeas, and a sprinkle of crunchy sev. Every bite was a burst of flavors and textures, a harmonious blend of sweet, spicy, and savory. Plus, the quantity was seriously generous, making it a truly satisfying dish. This is definitely a must-try for any chaat lover! Next, I dove into an order of Gol Gappay. Ah, the thrill of those delicate, crispy puris filled with a tantalizing mix and then drenched in that zesty, spicy water! Lahore Chatkhara's Gol Gappay were delightfully tangy and hit all the right notes for flavor. Each pop in the mouth was a little explosion of fresh, vibrant taste. My only minor quibble? The quantity. You only get 8 pieces, which for a Gol Gappay enthusiast like myself, felt a little on the lighter side. I could have easily devoured another plate! Now, a quick note on the service. While the staff were friendly, it was a tad on the slow side. Given it wasn't super busy, I was expecting things to move a little quicker. However, the deliciousness of the food certainly made up for the slight wait. The Verdict: Lahore Chatkhara in Mississauga offers a delightful taste of Pakistani street food. The Samosa Chaat is a definite winner, both in flavor and portion size. The Gol Gappay are tasty and tangy, though I'd love to see a few more pieces in an order! If you're looking for authentic flavors and a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy some chaat, Lahore Chatkhara is certainly worth a visit. Just be prepared for a slightly leisurely pace with...
Read moreLahore Chatkhara is an absolute treasure for anyone who appreciates the true taste of Lahori cuisine. From the moment you step in, you can feel the love and passion that the owners have invested in this place. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a project built on a deep connection to the flavors of Lahore, and it delivers on every promise.
I had the pleasure of trying the Keema Naan and Anda Shami — both were exceptional. The Keema Naan was packed with perfectly spiced minced meat, full of flavor with just the right kick. The Anda Shami, a classic, was done to perfection with a crispy exterior and tender, flavorful inside that reminded me of home-cooked meals.
The menu showcases Taxali Tawa Chicken and the Rahoo Fish, the Rahoo Fish is directly imported from Lahore, Pakistan. As a true Lahori, I’ve been craving that unmistakable taste of Rahoo Fish, and knowing that it’s flown in from Lahore has me eagerly anticipating my next visit.
The atmosphere and the food here bring back memories of the vibrant street food scene in Lahore. I’m genuinely impressed with the dedication and attention to detail, and I can see this place becoming a staple for anyone seeking a real taste of Pakistan. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. Lahore Chatkhara deserves all the recognition and fame it’s bound to get....

Coming to the food , very balanced and flavourful , the girl at the counter (Navreet … ) suggested few dishes and she was bang on target , we ordered Gol Gappas , Qeema Naan, Liberty Sandwich , Fried Fish and Papri Chaat , Anda Shami Chicken everything was made to perfection , reminds us of Pakistan
To top the above was the Lassi …. One of the best we had , very balanced
The owner Izza ( hope the name is correct ) was very courteous and welcoming , vey open to the feedbacks . For instance my wife felt the Fish was slightly high on salt … she eats less salt though ( personal preference ) , shared with the owner who immediately acknowledged

Keep up the good work , and continue maintaining the standard , will definitely be visiting the place...
