Two decades of Punjabi mornings
Cheema & Chattha began as a breakfast house in Suleman Market, F-11 — and Islamabad made it an institution. Students, families, office-goers and half of F-11 start their day here, the way Lahore starts its day: something fried, something slow-cooked, and a cup of tea made with fresh milk.
The recipes stay stubbornly traditional. The nihari gets its tarka, the paye simmer for hours, the parathas are rolled in desi ghee, and the saag comes with makai ki roti — the way it has always been done. Come early on weekends; the halwa puri rush is real.
