Iftar feast (takeaway) from Lahorigate

Lahorigate (also written as Lahori Gate) Restaurant is a Pakistani eatery in Weetangera, Canberra. We've been there a couple of times for their scrumptious weekend buffet brunch, and had been meaning to try their dinner offerings sometime too. This year the month of Ramadan coincides with the COVID-19 lockdown, meaning sit-down meals are not allowed and restaurants and cafes are only able to offer takeaway food. This is, no doubt, interfering with the iftar (breaking of the fast at sunset) banquets which usually form part of Ramadan.

Andrew and I have been trying to support our favourite restaurants and cafes by buying takeaways while they're not able to offer in-house dining. Lahorigate have been advertising takeaway iftar meals during Ramadan, so that's what we ordered for dinner on Friday! The food was plentiful and delicious. We ordered two $20 packs, and received curry (I think it was lamb keema) and rice, samosas, pakoras, aloo pakoras, roti, spring rolls and dessert (rice pudding).

Ramadan lasts for almost another three weeks so give it a go! Order before 2 pm to collect your meal after sundown. Enjoy ;-)
