Shola (‘spark’ in Urdu) is our Pakistani restaurant in London. We bring to the table Chef Aida Khan’s passion for the bold flavours and traditional recipes from Karachi, Pakistan’s most cosmopolitan city.

Our aim is to translate the delicate spicing and complex preparation of Pakistani cuisine, to a simple, approachable modern style, whilst retaining the romance and vibrancy of South Asia’s food culture: it’s street markets, it’s royal dishes, and it’s home-cooking.

At Shola, we roast and grind our own spices, select the very best ingredients, and take our time to make food that gives a true taste of Karachi in London from our fully Halal kitchen.
