From what I've gathered this place was previously open near That Luang temple, then relocated and opened near the British embassy. The food tastes fresh and is tasty however, I found the portion sizes to be quite small compared to other Pakistani restaurants in Vientiane...at the same price point.More

We had 5 dishes, and all were delicious, well-spiced and flavorful. The place is very clean and cosy. Very relaxing to visit between sightseeing and traveling from place to place. Very close from Sacred Stupa. The owner's son was very sweet playing with and watching...our 1-year old baby. The owner is really nice, we had a wonderful time thanks to him. This was the last place we visited in Laos in this trip, I would remember this Urdu Cafe and the owner whenever I think about Laos. Strongly recommended!!!More

If you ever want a change of taste from the traditional Lao food, you must visit the Urdu Cafe! The food is absolutely delicious, and the owners are such a wonderful welcoming couple. We had the Chicken Kebab, Chicken Tikka Masala and the Kheema and...all of them were so good! Additionally, if you go there in the evening, you get a wonderful view of the Great Sacred Stupa under the lights. A must-visit at VientianeMore
