Multan Food Guide: Model Town and Gulgasht

Two neighbourhoods, two moods

Gulgasht Colony is the loud one: a dense strip of BBQ counters, fast food, juice bars and late-night dhabas around Gulgasht Chowk and Bosan Road. It is where students and families go when they want choice and noise.

Model Town, a short drive away, is quieter and more residential. Restaurants here tend to be sit-down places with parking and proper family halls. It is where you go when you want to actually hear each other talk.

What Multan does well

Multan is a mutton city. Karahi, rosh, and pulao are cooked with more confidence here than chicken. The city also has a sweet tooth; sohan halwa is the famous export, and chilled desserts like lab-e-shireen close many meals.
