What Are the Best MyLahore Mild Dishes If You Do Not Like Spice

Blog 15 May 2026 By Hamza Jamal

Not every dish at MyLahore comes with heat. Some of the most popular orders across all five restaurants have nothing to do with chilli, and that is worth knowing before you write the menu off because of what you assume it contains.

This is a guide to ordering well at MyLahore if spice is not your thing, from the completely familiar to the genuinely surprising.

Begin with What You Already Know

There is a whole section of the menu that does not ask anything of you in terms of spice tolerance. If someone in your group is genuinely hesitant about South Asian food, or if you want to ease in without committing to a curry, there is plenty here that will feel immediately comfortable.

The burgers are a good example. The Grilled Chicken Burger is a chargrilled chicken breast in a sesame brioche bun, topped with jalapenos, cheese, lettuce and onions, served with fries. The Smash Burger is two beef patties with caramelised onions and cheese. Both come with a choice of sauce and sit as confidently on a MyLahore table as they would anywhere else.

The pasta and global dishes section covers similar ground. Chicken Pasta is cooked in a marinara tomato sauce with peppers and mushrooms, finished with cheddar. The Lasagna brings an Asian twist to a familiar format, layered with mince, tomatoes, carrots and peppers and served with fries. These are not compromises. They are well made, generous dishes that happen to carry no heat.

For something lighter, the wraps and paninis work well too. The Chicken Tortilla Wrap is chargrilled shredded chicken with onions, peppers, melted cheddar and MyLahore sauce, and the Chicken Baguette is a fresh baked baguette packed with grilled chicken, salad and house dressing. Both are clean, satisfying options that give you the quality of the kitchen without any of the spice.

When You Are Ready for the Curry Menu

Once you are comfortable at the table, the creamy side of the curry menu is worth exploring. These are not dishes you are working up to tolerating. They are genuinely good plates of food that happen to carry no real heat.

Butter Chicken: the Dish Most People Order First

Butter Chicken earns its reputation. Boneless chicken cooked in a rich tomato and butter sauce, smooth and subtly sweet with no burn. It is the kind of dish that changes people’s minds about curry.

Korma and Chicken Tikka Masala: Creamy, Layered, Gentle

Korma has its roots in Mughlai cooking, a tradition built around cream, nuts and aromatic spices rather than heat. At MyLahore it comes with a choice of protein including chicken, meat, fish and prawn, and it is one of the gentlest, most luxurious options on the menu.

Chicken Tikka Masala is slightly more layered in flavour but stays mild for most people. The flame grilled chicken brings a smoky depth, and the ginger and garlic base keeps it warm rather than hot. For a fuller look at where these dishes sit in relation to each other, the guide on the best curry to try at MyLahore is worth a read.

All Smoke, No Burn: the Grill Section

The flame grill at MyLahore produces some of the most distinctive flavours on the menu, and heat has very little to do with it. The smokiness comes from the grill itself, and the marinades are built around cream, cheese, herbs and spice blends that add depth without chilli punch.

Malai Tikka is the standout here. Chicken thigh pieces marinated with cream, cheese, green herbs and spices and then flame grilled until tender and slightly charred at the edges. Despite the chillies in the marinade, the cream base keeps the overall heat very low, and the result is rich and satisfying rather than sharp.

The Chicken Breast Grill is a simpler choice: a skewer of chargrilled chicken breast that works as a starter or a light main. The Chicken Steak Fillet is a more complete plate, a flame grilled fillet served with mash, mixed vegetables and a choice of creamy pepper sauce or gravy. Pair either with a garlic naan or pilau rice and you have a full meal that covers every base without any heat.

What About the Biryani?

Biryani is often the dish people are most uncertain about, and it is worth addressing directly. At MyLahore, the biryani is fragrant rather than hot. The rice is cooked with cardamom, cinnamon, green peas and onions, and the flavour comes from those aromatics rather than chilli. The Dum Biryani, baked under a bread crust with MyLahore’s own spice blend, carries more depth but stays within mild territory for most people.

If you are still unsure whether to go for biryani or a curry, the guide on deciding between biryani and curry at MyLahore lays out the differences clearly. Both options come with a choice of raita or rich curry sauce, so you can control the accompaniment too.

Choosing a Starter Without the Worry

Starters are where people often feel most uncertain at a Pakistani restaurant. The assumption is that everything will carry heat, but several options at MyLahore are genuinely gentle from the first bite. The full breakdown is in the guide to the best starter dishes at MyLahore, but these are the ones worth going to first:

Cheesy Garlic Naan, four slices of soft naan loaded with melted cheese and garlic, no heat at all
Cheesy Garlic Bread, a fresh baked French baguette with cheese, olive oil and herbs
Aloo Paratha, a flaky pan fried flatbread stuffed with potato, king size and made for sharing
Bread King Prawns, fresh fried king prawns in a light crispy batter with sweet chilli sauce on the side
Sweet and Crispy Chicken, spiced chicken strips with a sweet chilli sauce, well within the mild range
Malai Tikka, which sits on the grill section but works just as well as a starter and stays firmly in mild territory
