Bundu Khan

Bundu Khan in Gujranwala is a branch of the national Pakistani barbecue chain, located on Street 2 in Shaheen Abad in Pakistan's Punjab province. It is a reliable choice for grilled food in a clean, organised family setting, and it appeals to visitors who want predictable quality and a standard menu rather than a small independent grill.

The cuisine is Pakistani barbecue. The signature dishes are seekh kebab, malai boti and mutton karahi. Seekh kebab is spiced minced meat grilled on skewers; malai boti is boneless chicken marinated in cream and spices and grilled until soft and mildly flavoured, making it a good option for diners who prefer less heat; mutton karahi is the richer, sauce-based dish for sharing. The specialty is charcoal barbecue, and portions are typically ordered by the plate and eaten with naan and raita.

The dining room is organised and family oriented, with more structure than a roadside grill: menus, table service and a cleaner environment typical of a chain. Noise is moderate and rises on weekend evenings. There is no formal dress code. Alcohol is not served; tea, lassi and soft drinks are the usual drinks.

Prices are in the $$ band, about PKR 900-1,900 per person, roughly US$3-$7, somewhat above independent grills nearby. The restaurant is typically open from around midday to late evening, though hours should be confirmed locally. Public ratings are about 4.0 out of 5.

Reservations are not normally required; the restaurant works on a walk-in basis, and only large groups, such as family gatherings, need to arrange seating ahead. The Shaheen Abad location is reached by taxi or rideshare and is close to other restaurants on the northern strip. Visitors who want comparison can try nearby tikka and chargha houses on the same day.
