« Palao Khana is a great place if you want to enjoy the famous and cultural Pashtoon or Afgani palao. Palao khana is situated in front of Dubai Plaza near 6th Road Rawalpindi. Location is a little conjusted but it is normal in a city like Rawalpindi. Palai Khana is present in the basement so don't look and search for it in top portions of the bulding rather than to find it below the ground level. St »

« I tried Bannu Beef Pulao. The quantity was quite good, but the food started to get cold quickly. The raita was fine, though the meat wasn’t as tender as it should’ve been. It felt a bit tough. Overall, it was an average experience that could’ve been better with properly cooked and warmer serving. »
