Monal Lahore

Monal Lahore is the Lahore branch of the Monal restaurant group, occupying a rooftop level atop the Park and Ride Plaza at Liberty Chowk Roundabout in Gulberg III. The kitchen serves a combined Pakistani and continental menu, with BBQ platters, karahi, and biryani as the dishes most commonly ordered by regulars. Sitting above a multi-storey car park and shopping plaza, the restaurant is built around panoramic views of the surrounding Gulberg skyline, a selling point that draws diners as much for the setting as the food. The dining room is spacious and family-oriented, arranged across an open rooftop layout with both covered and open-air seating, and the mood is generally lively rather than quiet, with a steady flow of families and groups especially in the evenings. Dress is casual to smart-casual. As with nearly all restaurants in Pakistan, no alcohol is served, and the beverage list is limited to soft drinks, juices, and traditional options like lassi. Monal Lahore is open daily from around noon until 1AM, covering both lunch and a long dinner service, though the views and atmosphere are best experienced after dark when the city lights are visible from the terrace. Reservations are recommended for evening and weekend visits, when the rooftop fills with groups drawn by both the menu and the panorama; walk-in seating is more readily available on weekday afternoons. Pricing sits in the upper range for Lahore, reflecting the location and views as much as the food itself.
