Fried Chicken on Devon

Fried chicken is one of the worlds most popular meals with seemingly every country having their versions. You’ll find some of the most interesting options in Asia including Chargah chicken from Pakistan. It’s a specialty from Lahore which is the city that today’s stop on Devon is named after.

Locals Favorite on Devon 

Lahore Restaurant & Grill is a nighttime dining dining destination in that they don’t open until 6p with a 2am closing time. It’s a busy spot on the weekends with groups of friends and families sharing large platters of chargah chicken paired with naan and sides. The seasoned chicken is marinated in a yogurt sauce and typically slit with a knife to infuse flavor. It leans crisp and spicy and semi dry from the spicing plus a double fry but that’s where a refreshing cilantro yogurt sauce and some limes come in. If you like it extra spicy try the Chicken tawa rice which is terrific but far from tame, easily one of the hottest things I’ve ate of late. An order of Lahori daal was rather bland when compared to the chicken and the rice but it made for a pretty nice sauce with the naan. Pakistani food has become one of my favorites so this did not disappoint on a night I wanted something that was bold and spicy.
