Located amidst the famous Neela Gumbad market in Anarkali Lahore, Qasr-e-Shireen is known to many due to its exceptional range of local delicacies. People come from far-off areas to Qasr-e-Shirin due to their signature mithai-making style and unbeatable taste. Established in 1953 (definitely an oldie but goldie) this is the best place to be if you\u2019re looking for authentic, desi sweets in Lahore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Our Experience at Qasr-e-Shireen:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Team PFP went to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/qasr_e_shereen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Qasr-e-Shireen<\/a>, eager to explore the diverse taste the mithai spot has to offer. Soon after entering there, we couldn\u2019t resist inquiring about their history from one of their owners. We learned about their Delhi roots and about how this is the 4th generation taking care of Qasr-e-Shireen after nearly 6 decades of service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After this interesting Q&amp;A session, we went further to see the variety of sweets they had to offer and to our surprise, they had quite a lot in the store. While seeing the whole sweet section we tasted their best sellers, including Zafrani Kalakand and Milk Cake. Their workers were kind enough to guide us through the whole tasting which was a smooth, and deliciously sweet experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7227\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7227\" class=\"wp-image-7227 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/pfpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/70-Years-Old-Qasr-e-Shireen-Sweets-Of-Anarkali-Lahore-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"70 Years Old Qasr-e-Shireen Best Sweets Of Anarkali Lahore \" width=\"2560\" height=\"1369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pakistanfoodportal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/70-Years-Old-Qasr-e-Shireen-Sweets-Of-Anarkali-Lahore-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/pakistanfoodportal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/70-Years-Old-Qasr-e-Shireen-Sweets-Of-Anarkali-Lahore-1-300x160.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pakistanfoodportal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/70-Years-Old-Qasr-e-Shireen-Sweets-Of-Anarkali-Lahore-1-1024x548.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/pakistanfoodportal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/70-Years-Old-Qasr-e-Shireen-Sweets-Of-Anarkali-Lahore-1-768x411.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pakistanfoodportal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/70-Years-Old-Qasr-e-Shireen-Sweets-Of-Anarkali-Lahore-1-1536x821.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/pakistanfoodportal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/70-Years-Old-Qasr-e-Shireen-Sweets-Of-Anarkali-Lahore-1-2048x1095.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">70 Years Old Qasr-e-Shireen Best Sweets Of Anarkali Lahore<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><b>70-Year-Old Recipes:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We were offered, in the generous Lahori style, to come and see the place where the mithai was being made, and Oh Boy! The desi ghee aroma and the sight of motichoors had our mouths watering instantly. We asked about the authentic and iconic taste of the bakery, the workers told us that they\u2019ve been making these sweets with the same traditional recipe, handed down by their ancestors for almost 70 years now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2w7ERgf56yQ\" width=\"780\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Taste:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sweets we got to taste over there were definitely worth the hype. Each mithai was fresh, unique and featured the distinctly balanced flavors of pure desi ghee and sugar. Their Milk Cake literally had us drooling. Interestingly enough, this little piece from heaven included milk, sugar, and a hint of cardamom, with aloe vera, tree sap, and their in-house organic desi ghee which makes this delicacy to have a rich and creamy texture that melts in your mouth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What sets Qasr e Shireen&#8217;s Milk Cake apart from others is its authentic flavor and texture. The milk is boiled for hours to achieve the perfect consistency, and the sugar is caramelized to give it a distinct taste. Qasr-e-Shireen&#8217;s Milk Cake is one of their most famous and beloved sweets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Price breakdown:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the billing is done after weighing the sweet that you get from here. Since we got 200 gm, hence our bill came out to only Rs. 240 which was actually quite economical given the taste and quality they had to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This whole experience at Qasr-e-Shireen was a blessing we didn\u2019t know our sweet tooth&#8217;s needed. From the taste to the quality and overall value of money, everything was worth it! Some places are iconic for a reason, and at Qasr-e-Shireen that reason is a distinct connection to our traditional roots which is obvious in every single bite of their mithai!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a refreshing drink to wash down all the sweets, we highly recommend checking out <a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/pfpblog\/best-juices-in-lahore-at-hafiz-juice-corner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Hafiz Juice Corner<\/a>, our latest blog post feature.
