Meethi Lassi — Sweet Punjabi Yoghurt Drink
Meethi lassi is Punjab's legendary sweet yoghurt drink — thick churned dahi (yoghurt) blended with sugar, cardamom, and sometimes rose water, topped with a thick layer of malai (cream). It is Pakistan's most refreshing summer drink and the original desi smoothie.
Namkeen Lassi — Lahori Salted Buttermilk
Frothy Lahori namkeen lassi made with thick dahi, chilled water, salt, roasted cumin and a pinch of kala namak — blended until light and airy. The savoury alternative to sweet lassi that serious Lahori breakfast spots swear by, and the world's best digestive drink.
Mango Lassi — Summer Special
Thick, creamy mango lassi blended from ripe Pakistani mangoes, full-fat yoghurt and a touch of cardamom — the drink that defines a Pakistani summer. Sweet, cool, and thirst-destroying, this is peak seasonal simplicity in a glass.
