Est. 1996The first haveli restaurant
Our Story
An artist's haveli that became a Lahore landmark
Cooco's Den was founded in 1996 by Iqbal Hussain, a renowned painter, who turned his family's haveli by Roshnai Gate into a restaurant filled with his own paintings, antique statues and collected art from across Pakistan.
It was the first rooftop restaurant in Pakistan — and the first haveli on this road to open its doors to diners. Others followed, and a whole Food Street grew around it. The food stayed true to the city: charcoal BBQ, karahi and tawa dishes, eaten under the minarets of the Badshahi Mosque.
