Pakistani cafe bites and chai · Lombard
Cafe Bethak
A beef-and-lentil bun kabab with green chutney, followed by a warm cup of chai. This colorful cafe makes an easy catch-up stop; keep the first order simple, with falooda available as a sweet extra.

IF YOU GO FOR ONE THING
Bun Kabab
A sampled diner enjoyed a spread that included Bun Kabab; the official menu describes a beef-and-lentil patty with green chutney and onion. Pair it with the cafe's classic chai.

Before you go
Two sampled reviews, not a complete consensus. Bun Kabab was part of a positively described spread, not the reviewer's top pick. The chai review does not identify Doodh Patti specifically; that is our menu-based choice.
A small sourced sample, not a score, a full consensus, or a personal visit by 42 SPOTS. Older observations may not reflect today.
