There’s nothing better than putting your hands around a hot bowl or plate of comfort food in the winter in Frankfurt. It warms you up from the inside out. The cold breeze outside makes the rich, spicy, slow-cooked Pakistani winter foods taste even better.
Not only is Pakistani food tasty, it makes you feel like you’re at home. Each dish, from fragrant gravies to sizzling BBQs and hot chai, brings the warmth of tradition.
Best Pakistani Winter Foods in Frankfurt
The Lahore Kebab Haus is the place to go in Frankfurt if you want to get a real taste of Lahore. Here are ten Pakistani winter comfort foods in Frankfurt that will change your mind about the cold and make you love food all over again.
1. Nihari: The Best Winter Breakfast
Nihari is a filling dish that is a must-have during the winter in Pakistan. This stew made with beef or mutton is rich, spicy, and full of flavor. It takes hours of cooking to make it just right.
Our Nihari is served piping hot at Lahore Kebab Haus with soft bread, fresh ginger, and a squeeze of lemon that makes every bite better. No matter what time of day it is or how hungry you are in the evening, Nihari gives you pure warmth and energy to beat Frankfurt’s winter chill.
2. Paya: A Traditional Treat for the Winter
People from Pakistan will probably say that Lahori Paya (trotter soup) is one of their favorite winter foods. The broth in this delicious, gelatin-rich curry is cooked slowly overnight until it is smooth and healthy. As the weather gets colder, every Indian swears by paya to keep them warm and strong. Lahore Kebab Haus serves real Paya made with a traditional Lahori recipe that is full of taste and memories. This weekend special will take you right back to Pakistani family breakfasts.
3. Halwa Puri: A Sweet and Savory Breakfast Treat
Putting together crispy puris, spicy chana, and sweet sooji halwa is like magic. If you eat Halwa Puri for breakfast, it’s like having a party on a plate. There is a custom in Lahore that we bring to Frankfurt with our weekend breakfast special at Lahore Kebab Haus. The crunchy puris straight from the pan, the soft beans with a hint of spice, and the golden halwa that melts in your mouth all make you feel like you’re at home. If you long for lazy Sunday breakfasts back home, Halwa Puri will make you feel better.
4. Haleem: The Best Hearty Meal Ever
This winter, Haleem is a one-pot wonder that shines because it is thick, healthy, and deeply fulfilling. It is made by cooking beans, meat, and cracked wheat slowly until they become smooth and creamy.
It’s made with care at Lahore Kebab Haus, and it comes with crispy fried onions, lemon juice, and fresh parsley on top. One bowl will keep you full for hours, and the strong, warming flavors make it great for cold nights in Frankfurt.
5. Mutton Kunna: The Traditional Clay Pot Dish of Punjab
It’s Mutton Kunna that really shows what it means to be Lahori in the winter. Slow-cooked mutton curry from the city of Chiniot is made in a traditional clay pot (kunna), which gives it a taste that no other dish can match.
The Mutton Kunna at Lahore Kebab Haus stays true to its roots: soft mutton cooked for hours in a thick, fragrant gravy with Indian spices. Using a clay pot to cook keeps all the natural juices in the food, so every bite melts in your mouth.
This dish is the ideal winter treat when served with hot naan or tandoori roti. It’s hearty, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. It only takes one bowl to warm you up and take you to the heart of Punjab.
6. Chicken Karahi: Hot, sour, and very tasty
Nothing says “comfort” like Chicken Karahi cooking in a wok. Freshly cooked with garlic, green chilies, tomatoes, and special spices, it gives your taste buds a hot kick and a tangy twist. Our Lahori-style karahi is brought right to your table from the wok, bubbling and smelling great. On a cold night, this is the perfect dish for anyone who wants a nice, homey feel.
7. Daal Soup, or Lentil Soup
Lentil soup, also known as Daal soup, is one of those easy things that can bring you comfort. This soup is great for cold nights when you want something healthy but not too heavy.
At Lahore Kebab Haus, our Lentil Soup is made with garlic, fresh yellow lentils, and gentle spices to make it taste good and be good for you. Smooth, filling, and served hot, it’s great as an appetizer or even a full meal for people who want something that’s easy on the stomach and warms the soul.
8. BBQ Platters for Grill Lovers
On a cool winter night, there’s nothing better than the smell of fresh BBQ. The flavors and fire on our BBQ platter are a celebration of life. They include Seekh Kebabs, Chicken Tikka, Malai Boti, and Gola Kebab.
Each bite has that tempting grilled charm—a little charred, just the right amount of spice, and a lot of juicy meat. Lahore Kebab Haus’s BBQ gives the taste of Lahore’s street grills right to Frankfurt, whether you eat there or take it home. It tastes best when eaten with mint chutney and Lahori bread.
9. Creamy Mushroom Soup
When it gets cold in Frankfurt, our mushroom soup is one of the stars that people want the most. It is the perfect way to start any meal because it is creamy, delicious, and just the right amount of salty.
This soup, which is made with fresh mushrooms and a light mix of spices, is pure comfort in a bowl. It tastes great before you eat our spicy main dishes because it’s smooth, earthy, and filling.
10. Lahori Chai: The Perfect Ending
Lahori Chai is a must-have with any food, especially in the winter. It is strong, sweet, and smells great. It’s the perfect end to your journey through comfort foods.
Lahore Kebab Haus makes its tea the traditional Lahori way, which is to slow-cook it for more flavor and add cardamom to give it that unique smell. This is the kind of chai that warms your heart as well as your hands. You can drink it alone or after a big meal.
