Basera began as a single tandoor and a family recipe book. Today it's a home for the city's best comfort food.
Basera opened in 2014 with four tables and a single tandoor oven. What started as a family recipe book has grown into a full kitchen serving Pakistani, Chinese, BBQ and continental favourites — without ever losing the home-cooked feel we started with.
Every dish is still built the way our founder's mother taught the first chefs: fresh spice blends ground daily, slow cooking wherever it matters, and a plate that looks like it was made for someone you love.
"Basera" means home — and that's exactly how we want every guest to feel, whether it's a quick lunch or a family celebration.
To serve generous, honestly-priced food that tastes like home, in a space that welcomes everyone from a quick lunch to a family celebration.
To become Pakistan's most-loved everyday restaurant brand, known equally for consistency, warmth and culinary craft.
