Premium Pakistani restaurant, Little Lahore UAE, launches a new food concept “TUSO by Little Lahore.” Owned by Saira Ahmed, Little Lahore is famous in Dubai for its incredible catering, dine-in, and delivery food options. This season Saira has collaborated with her daughter, a certified artist, for the launch of their exquisite express menu, TUSO by Little Lahore that reflects the bond of families and the traditions, culture, and values of a typical Pakistani household.
‘TUSO’ is a comical take on the South Asian expression related to excessive consumption of delicious food. Growing up in South Asia, particularly in the Punjab region, one may have heard this common phrase narrated by parents, grandparents, or other relatives while eating. The saying stems from a place of love and affection, with the elderly wanting their loved ones to have fully immersed themselves in their meal, and more!
TUSO by Little Lahore, offers a lighthearted twist on a few of the restaurant’s most popular items in the form of an express menu where patrons are encouraged to build their own meal step by step, selecting their choice of breads and fillings. These include Roti Rolls, flatbreads rolled to perfection, from the traditional layered paratha to a lighter option of whole wheat tandoori roti, Jab Tak Hai Naan, an assortment of naans with one’s own choice of filling from minced mutton to spicy potato stuffing, Kisne Liya Kisne Diya Quesadilla, TUSO’s twist on the classic Mexican melt with desi flavours, and last but not least Fun Kebab Bun Kebab, TUSO’s very own burgers.
“I am thrilled to bring TUSO to life, Little Lahore has been a passion for me and TUSO is going to add that extra spice”, said Saira Ahmed.” Little Lahore reminds me of home but TUSO will live the traditional Lahori warmth – so TUSO to your heart’s content,” she further added.
To celebrate this occasion that brings together family, humor, and love for South Asian culture and hospitality, Little Lahore has collaborated with New York-based Pakistani artist Aiza Ahmed, daughter of Saira Ahmed, owner of Little Lahore. Ahmed’s work revolves around her deep attachment to her home country, despite having spent the majority of her time away. Her drawings and paintings stage encounters, experiences, observations, and memories of Pakistani culture, traditions, norms, and society.
Aiza Ahmed: “I am honored to be collaborating with my mother on her latest endeavor. Feels extra special as the concept takes me down memory lane of how I was “TUSO’d” by all the women in my house not just with love, but mouthwatering feasts, and that is reflected in my artwork for TUSO.”
Little Lahore is located at UB-10, Jumeirah Business Center, Cluster G, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Dubai. For more information or to make a reservation, please contact the restaurant at +971 4 441 4270 or email info@little-lahore.com.
