"Reopened after a lengthy refurbishment, this Pakistani grill next to North China has immediately returned to the form that made it one of the best restaurants in the area. It’s unceremoniously and excellently playing the hits that makes the best bands so good, and that’s precisely what Lahore Local delivers with a menu of mirch pakoras, fragrant chapli, karahi raspy with ginger, and the trinity of haleem, nihaari, and paya." - James Hansen
