In Pakistan, fast food means more than just a quick supper. It is a way of life. Pakistani businesses have mastered the art of comfort cuisine, from spicy wraps to crispy burgers.

This Silver Spoon Guide special offers you a comprehensive and entertaining list of the popular fast food chains in Pakistan. These are not giants of the world. These domestic brands provide fierce competition for global firms.

Some have existed for many years. Others are new, but they are growing quickly. Let us investigate them.

However, they now also provide hot dogs, fried chicken, and hamburgers. Their diversity attracts repeat business. The Jalapeño Crunch Burger is particularly noteworthy.

2. Johnny & Jugnu

In Lahore, this is a cult favorite. Cool, laid-back, and imaginative.

Silver Spoon Guide Tips

First, try local: Choose these instead of the typical huge names. You will be taken aback.

Strive for combos: Meals are usually very reasonably priced. Ideal for sharing.
Many restaurants remain open until midnight or later for late-night meals. Excellent for eating after work or study.
