Salt 'n' Pepper Restaurant — Restaurant in Lahore Cantonment Tehsil

We wanted to take a break from our usual weekly takeaway (coz of pandemic) from the best desi restaurant and visit the trendsetting restaurant of 90s which brought dining out in liberty market in a stylish way (although the main branch has been there since late 80s). We had a new branch open up close to our house but since it was a sunday and only car dine in was allowed so thought to go to liberty market which does have a few dishes extra to their menu.

One of the best feature of coming here is that u can get desi, continental and chinese cuisine and the 2 i have tried on this visit were exceptional. Actually this is the place which started this all cuisines under 1 roof but sadly no other restaurant has been able to match its standards.

We ordered a VIP Desi platter which has the 2nd best chicken kebabs, i mean really ! Soft and juicy, Chicken boti was ok and nothing bad can be said about it, a serving of handi was a bit oily but tasted good, soft and moist nans and the best vegetable biryani with cooked potatoes, onions and beetroot added after cooking leaving them crisp and tasty and was the best I have tried in a long time. 2nd dish was again a platter consisting of fried chicken sandwich which had fresh greens and really nicely done fried chicken, a couple of nuggets which were 2.5 times bigger than McD and tasted nice aswell for nuggets. Fries were crisp chunkier then usual burger chains and not dripping with oil. Pineapple and apple salad was fresh also. Both the platters were served with a serving of desert of your choice also. Both of the platters are funny sized, i mean 1 person cant have it all but for 2 it will not be adequate so these platters are for 1.5 people. 3rd item was the famous and pioneering stuffed chicken breast with herb butter, the server was kind enough to get black mushroom sauce with it rather then the usual pineapple sauce which is bit on sweeter side. I tell you it still tastes great just like before and the biggest chicken breast portion in town. The last item we ordered was the all time favourite Club sandwich and yes it was great too.

All in all i would definitely recommend this place when there is a tie between going to a desi or a continental restaurant coz all of the family members can get whatever they like. Hopefully will soon visit again and try their chinese menu and update u guys...

The Salt and Pepper Restaurant offers a mix of Pakistani deluxe and Chinese cuisine, but it falls short in several areas. While the food quality is commendable, with flavors that tantalize the taste buds, there are notable areas that require immediate attention.

Let's start with the food itself. I opted for the Pakistani deluxe and Chinese deals, expecting a balanced and satisfying meal. However, the Chinese dishes were excessively spicy, with an overwhelming amount of garlic sprinkled throughout. This could be toned down to cater to a wider range of palates. Additionally, the portion sizes for the Pakistani deluxe seemed to have shrunk, which was disappointing considering the price increase.

Moving on to the ambiance and seating arrangement, this is an area that needs significant improvement. The seating is cramped, with families seated closely together, hindering privacy and the ability to converse comfortably. A more spacious and well-organized layout would greatly enhance the dining experience, allowing guests to enjoy their meals without feeling crowded or intruded upon.

One of the most concerning aspects of my visit was the behavior of Manager Muhammad Waseem. His rude and unprofessional demeanor was unacceptable, displaying a lack of etiquette and customer service skills. The management should address this issue promptly, as it reflects poorly on the restaurant's image and detracts from the overall dining atmosphere.

In conclusion, while the Salt and Pepper Restaurant offers delicious food, there are significant areas that need improvement, such as balancing spice levels, adjusting portion sizes, revamping the seating arrangement for better comfort and privacy, and addressing issues of staff professionalism. With these enhancements, the restaurant has the potential to elevate its rating and provide a more enjoyable dining experience for...

Yesterday visited Salt n Pepper liberty after one and a half year, SNP WAS A MEGA HIT and trend setter in whole 90's and 2000's; They were one of the first few restaurants who introduced continental and also Desi food with good taste and dressing, their stuffed chicken with Pineapple sauce was also a mega hit and without saturation I eaten that dish more then 500 times in my life, In 1993 when i had this dish first time , its cost was just Rs. 32/-

Now coming back to yesterday visit, we ate around 8:30pm, we ordered mutton handi, chicken kabab and kanungPau Cashew nut, they served the food after 40 mins although there was not much in the restaurant and perhaps they were making fresh food, mutton handi and Kanab's were good as it used to be in old times, but kanungPau Chicken was not looking good even before eat, kanungPau Chicken rice were tasting like khitchri, and gravi was tasteless, even with perfect cooked rice and gravi, it was not worth of Rs.700 plus tax, although I'm not crazy about service but there were half dozen supervisors roaming here and there like a #lostcow and no body was taking care of customers, they not provided empty plates for bones and Nans, later I discussed above issue with the manager and supervisor and they admit that their cook is new re chinese dish, also they admitted the flaws in thier service, overall it was an average tour and SNP current rates are over priced, the restaurant is in a sorry state and going to be a second lahore broast in lahore food industry as 1.5 decade ago lahore broast...
