Ma'am Saab

This Pakistani restaurant started out as a pop-up on Upper King Street in 2020, and finally got their own space this spring—there's an exposed brick interior with deep purple lighting and a large projection screen showing footage from street life in Pakistan. 

When it comes to food, the butter chicken is an absolute must, and you should add on the lollipop chicken and qeema samosas filled with freshly ground lamb. If it’s on the menu, end your meal with the cardamom and rice kheer—it’s the perfect dessert to split with a couple friends, and the sweet yet savory pudding is one of the best treats you can find on the peninsula.
