I stayed at a luxury hotel in Gulberg, Lahore. Gulberg is a very upscale area, known for its high end residences, designer shops and fancy restaurants.
I'd been suffering from food poisoning and needed somewhere comfortable to rest and recover. The Nishat Hotel looked like the kind of place I wanted to stay for a while.
I recorded this video on my 7th day at the Nishat, when I finally had an appetite for the local food and the energy to vlog. I'd been eating from the Nando's and Hardee's restaurants across the street for my previous meals.
I was impressed by the hotel. There's an indoor pool with heated water and nice lighting, which is perfect after a workout in the hotel gym. My room was very spacious, clean and elegant.
The only real negative thing I have to say about it was that the windows were filthy, covered in grubby marks. Also, they put me on the lowest floor which isn't great for privacy, as the security guards and people walking by can see into the room.
The hotel have a 'no outside food' policy, and there's a sign at the door stating that, but I had many grocery and meal deliveries, which they clearly saw but didn't try to stop me.
This was my first time ordering food from the in-room dining menu. I chose the most local sounding food on the menu. When you're staying in Lahore, Pakistan, I think it's only fitting that you try the 'Lahori Fried Fish'.
I wondered if it would be something like a British battered fish, that we'd get from a chip shop back home, just with Pakistani spices. It was a bit different to what I expected though. The fish was served as 6 chunks and the batter was likely made with chickpea flour and was very crunchy.
The fried fish was very tasty. Biting through that crispy well seasoned batter into succulent, tender white fish meat was a delightful combination of textures and taste. Yum yum!
It could only have been better if they served it with some chips. I mean, who eats fried fish on its own?
I didn't have anything with the fish, but I did have something after. Two delicious Gulab Jamuns soaked in syrup. An ultra sweet desi dessert to finish off the luxury hotel in-room dining experience.
