Lal Haveli Restaurant

Lal Haveli Restaurant is a large haveli-style restaurant on the Khanewal Road bypass outside Multan, in Punjab's southern Multan district, known regionally for its slow-cooked mutton katwa. The kitchen serves Multani cuisine, and beyond the katwa its BBQ platters are a frequent order among regular diners, with the restaurant also running an extended iftar buffet during Ramadan that draws crowds from across the city. The building follows a haveli-inspired architectural style, with grand, decorative interiors and banquet-scale seating capacity that make it a common venue for family gatherings and celebratory dinners as well as everyday meals. The dining room's scale gives it a banquet-hall character rather than an intimate restaurant feel, with high ceilings, ornate detailing, and space for large parties; noise levels rise during peak evening hours and especially during Ramadan buffet service. Dress is casual to smart-casual. No alcohol is served, consistent with practice across Pakistan, and the drinks list covers soft drinks, juices, and Ramadan-season beverages such as rooh afza during iftar. Lal Haveli is open daily, with extended hours during Ramadan to accommodate the seasonal iftar buffet. Reservations are recommended for buffet nights, particularly during Ramadan, when demand for the iftar service is highest; outside of Ramadan, seating is more readily available without booking. Prices are moderate, reflecting its role as a regional dining destination on the outskirts of Multan rather than a high-end city-centre restaurant.
