20 Restaurants Showcasing the Eastside’s Multicultural Dining Scene

"Lari Adda, which means “truck stop” in Urdu, opened its truck windows in May 2021 to serve tart, spicy, and pungent Pakistani street food to the surrounding Lake Hills community. Parked on 145th Avenue just south of Kamber Road, Lari Adda slings an outstanding samosa chaat, a tangy and toasty lentil potato bun-kebab, and compact beef bihari paratha rolls. Beverages and desserts like the meetha paan, a sweet and perfumed betel leaf pouch, are thrilling. Owners Saira Bano and Sheraz Malik hail from Karachi and Lahore, respectively, and say they aim to showcase the intricacies of Pakistani cuisine. Lari Adda is open takeout and on-site dining in a raucously decorated tent and serves a popular weekend brunch." - Brett Bankson, Eater Staff
