For Saira Ahmed, a dish is much more than just measuring spices and ingredients to hit the sweet spot of flawlessness. Her love affair with flavours flourished from her need to prove her baking prowess. She then moved on to trying different cuisines from traditional Pakistani fare to Thai, Chinese and continental dishes. Known for her exceptional culinary skills and warm hospitality among family and friends, Saira was encouraged to start Little Lahore that brought Lahore’s revered specialties and famed hospitality to a charming corner in Jumeirah Lakes Towers.
To ensure that every dish at Little Lahore evokes a sense of nostalgic comfort and authentic flavours, Saira travelled to Lahore, to master the balance of spices for dishes like Lahori Chana, Halwa Poori, Chicken Karahi, among others and trained her culinary team to ensure each dish is a masterpiece. Besides managing Little Lahore, Saira also has a special catering menu featuring her private collection of recipes, aptly titled Saira’s Kitchen.
An exceptional baker, a master at recreating flavours from Lahore and proficient in cuisines ranging from Chinese to Thai, Italian and Continental favourites, Saira dons many hats and executes her passion with great expertise, creating phenomenal dishes and culinary masterpieces that are truly a labour of love.
