Deira Lahore

Deira Lahore is a Pakistani karahi and grill restaurant on Cathcart Road in Govanhill, one of several South Asian eateries that make this stretch a serious destination for the cuisine. The kitchen specialises in chicken and lamb karahi — slow-cooked in a wok-style pot with whole spices — alongside seekh kebabs, plain naan and a short menu of rice dishes. The blogger Curry-Heute visited in 2016 under the ownership of Waris, noting the quality of the karahi as the defining draw. The dining room is compact; the focus is squarely on the food rather than the décor. A local favourite for those who want authentic Lahori-style cooking without restaurant pricing.
