If you love the finer things in life, you will love AMU, a real fine dinning experience in Lahore all thanks to Chef Shahnawaz.
Ps. They now have a cute outdoor set up as well.
AMU is really an intimate experience and a very exclusive place boasting of a well thought out menu. Everything is made in house and tastes pretty good. It is operational only Fri-Sun for dinner with a brunch offering on Sunday mornings as well.
We headed over last Sunday to experience the brunch. Having tried and being denied a place on the Sunday before, we were very excited to sample some of their food. We arrived to a rather empty restaurant around 11:30 am, but perhaps that was still early for an average Lahori on a day off. The great thing is they also welcome children which is sometimes not the case with such exclusive places. Here are something’s to keep in mind before visiting.

Went n did the brunch … Nothing to write home about. Tried eggs royale. Poached eggs can do at home. English muffin was not there n there was some bread. Hollandaise sauce is also simple thing. Wud have been better if salmon (over powering flavour) replaced with crab sticks. Coffee is french press with medium roast. I have had better. No shocker. Even crowd was low life, like me.
