Father's Day at MyLahore: Big Flavours and Modern Traditions

Blog 12 Jun 2026 By Hamza Jamal

Father's Day at MyLahore

There is a specific kind of hum in the air when three generations sit down at the same table. It is the sound of stories being retold, the clinking of glasses filled with vibrant mocktails, and the shared anticipation as the first platters of flame grilled meats arrive. For many families across the North and Midlands, this is the true spirit of a Father’s Day restaurant experience. It is not just about the food on the plate, but the atmosphere that allows a dad to truly relax, surrounded by the people who matter most.

Finding the right family friendly restaurants in Leeds with something for everyone can often feel like a compromise, but British Asian dining has always been built on inclusivity. At MyLahore, we believe that a Father’s Day visit should feel like an extension of your own living room, just with much better service and a kitchen that handles the washing up. Whether your dad is a devotee of the traditional Chicken Tikka Masala or prefers the modern kick of a Smash Burger, the goal is the same: creating memories that outlast the meal itself.

Sharing the Love With Sizzling Platters and Starters

Dad’s day out usually revolves around his favourite flavours. For some, that means the deep, slow cooked warmth of a Lamb Handi on the Bone, where the meat pulls away effortlessly. For others, it is the sizzle of a Special Mixed Grill Sharer arriving at the table, laden with chicken breast grill pieces, malai tikka pieces, and flaming chops. There is something uniquely communal about a mixed grill; it encourages everyone to dive in, passing around the mint sauce and debating who gets the last seekh kebab.

Sharing is at the heart of our kitchen’s philosophy. We have long explored the best places in Leeds for festive sharing platters because we know that the best Father’s Day meal is the one where no one feels left out. The diversity of our menu handles the variety of tastes with ease. While Dad enjoys his Lahori Chicken Karahi, the younger ones can tuck into Grilled Chicken Burger swaps or a fresh Fish Grill, ensuring the whole family remains happy and well fed.

To truly elevate the occasion, consider these crowd-pleasers for the table:

  • Combo Platter: A perfect starter featuring chicken seekh, mutton seekh, flaming chop, meat samosa, and a crispy chicken strip.
  • Butter Chicken: A rich, creamy classic cooked in a tomato and butter sauce that appeals to every generation.
  • Dum Biryani: Seasoned basmati rice and potatoes baked under a golden bread crust for that extra sense of occasion.
  • Mango Lassi: A traditional Asian mango yoghurt drink that acts as the perfect palate cleanser.

Why MyLahore Is the Go To Spot for the Whole Family

What makes a meal truly memorable? Often, it is the transition from the savoury main to the sweet finale. In many households, the ‘Dad move’ is to claim he is too full for dessert, only to subtly finish half of yours. It is why we often suggest guests look at what to order for dessert at MyLahore after a spicy meal. From a nostalgic Milkshake in flavours like Daddy Crunch Oreo to a comforting Hot Chocolate, these sweet moments are where the best conversations happen.

Our spaces are designed to accommodate the energy of a large group without losing that personal touch. We have seen firsthand what makes MyLahore a go to spot for groups, and it usually comes down to the blend of vibrant decor and the genuine warmth of our team. When you celebrate Father’s Day in the UK, you want a place that understands that dads just want to be together with their kids, grandkids, and a really good plate of food.

From Bradford to Birmingham: a Table for Every Dad

Whether you are looking for the Manchester vibe or the local charm of our Blackburn location, each MyLahore restaurant carries the same DNA. We started with a small shop in Bradford and have grown because we stayed true to our roots: family, community, and quality. You can see this reflected in our story, which began back in 2002 and continues with every family that walks through our doors today.

If you are planning your visit, here is where you can find us across the country:

  1. Bradford: Our home turf. Visit our Bradford restaurant for an iconic atmosphere.
  2. Leeds: Centrally located for a big Leeds family day out.
  3. Birmingham: Experience the vibrant flavours of our Birmingham spot.
  4. Manchester: Perfectly placed for those shopping or exploring the city.

We often get asked why MyLahore appeals to both young diners and families alike. The answer lies in our heritage. We do not perform nostalgia; we live it. From the Doodh Patti Chai that reminds Grandad of home to the top halal milkshake spots in Birmingham that the teenagers love, we bridge the gap. You are not just buying a meal; you are gifting a moment where everyone feels at home.

Booking Your Father’s Day Table

Father’s Day is one of our busiest times of the year, as families across the country gather to honour the men who raised them. To ensure you do not miss out on the best Father’s Day meal, we always recommend booking in advance. You can reach out via our contact form to secure your spot or check our FAQs for details on group sizes and dietary requirements.

Let this be the year you move away from generic gifts and instead embrace the blessing of eating together. We look forward to seeing your family at the table, sharing big flavours and making even bigger memories.
