How It All Started
YUM PUM opened its doors on Main Gujranwala Road, Shahdra — one of Lahore's most food-loving neighbourhoods, famous for its street BBQ, late-night karahis, and the kind of biryani that draws people from all over the city.
We saw a gap: families and young professionals wanted the bold flavours of authentic Pakistani cooking — charcoal-grilled tikka, slow-cooked karahi, fragrant biryani — but they also wanted convenience, hygiene, and the option to order online. YUM PUM was our answer.
From the beginning, we refused to cut corners. Every shawarma is hand-rolled to order. Every karahi is cooked the traditional hatkori way — tossed vigorously in the wok so the oil separates and the flavour concentrates. Our pizza dough is made fresh daily. Our juices are squeezed to order, never pre-made or diluted.
Our Roots in Shahdra
Shahdra sits at the historic north-eastern gateway of Lahore, connected to the walled city by the Grand Trunk Road. For centuries it has been a crossroads — of trade, of culture, and above all of food. The Mughal influence on local cuisine runs deep here: rich kormas, smoky tikkas, and leavened breads from the tandoor are all woven into the neighbourhood's identity.
YUM PUM is proud to carry that tradition forward. Our address — near UBL Bank, Kashmir Park — puts us right in the heart of the community. We serve the families who have lived here for generations and the young professionals who are part of Shahdra's rapidly growing population. Our team of cooks, riders, and staff are almost all local — people who grew up eating the food they now help prepare.
That local knowledge matters. When our head chef seasons a karahi, he is drawing on decades of tasting, adjusting, and learning what Lahori palates love. When we decide what to add to the menu, we listen to our customers first. The result is a menu that feels both authentically Pakistani and genuinely exciting — not a watered-down copy of foreign fast food, but something proudly our own.
Our Kitchen Philosophy
Three principles that guide everything we cook
Real Fire, Real Flavour
Our BBQ is cooked over live charcoal — not gas, not an oven. That smokiness cannot be faked. It goes into every tikka boti, every kabab, every malai breast piece we serve.
Fresh Ingredients Daily
We source meat, vegetables, and dairy every morning from trusted local suppliers. Nothing sits for days in a freezer. If it is not fresh, it does not go on the plate.
Cooked with Intention
Fast food should not mean careless food. Every dish that leaves our kitchen is checked for taste and presentation. We take pride in what we send out, every single order.
Our menu spans a deliberately wide range — from the comfort of a classic chicken karahi to the playfulness of a Nutella chocolate naan, from a quick biryani half with raita to a full karahi deal that feeds a family of four. We believe great Pakistani food should be accessible at every price point, not just in fancy restaurants.
On the beverage side, our fresh juice bar operates year-round. We squeeze to order from whole fruit: Kinu, Arru, pomegranate, mango in season, and our famous Red Annar. Our shake range — more than twenty flavours — uses real ice cream and fresh fruit. We do not use artificial flavouring syrups or pre-mixed concentrates.
What Makes Us Different
Open when you need us
We open at 5:00 AM for the pre-Fajr crowd and close at 3:00 AM — covering early breakfast (our Bong Paye and Murgh Chane nashta draws a loyal 5 AM crowd) right through to the late-night biryani run. Very few restaurants in Shahdra maintain those hours seven days a week.
Online ordering, no compromise on quality
We built our online platform because we wanted to give customers the same freshly cooked food with the convenience of ordering from a phone. Our packaging is designed to keep items hot and intact — shawarmas stay crisp, karahi stays saucy.
Transparent pricing, no hidden charges
Our menu prices are final. Delivery charges are shown clearly at checkout. We do not add service fees that surprise you at the end.
A team that cares
From the cook to the delivery rider, every person at YUM PUM is trained to treat customers with respect and to represent our brand with pride. When something goes wrong — and occasionally it does — we fix it, fast.
