Grato Jalebi

Our Story

From a Sargodha kadhai to Lahore's finest spiral.

In 1962, Mohammad Pervaiz created the recipe for Grato Jalebi in Sargodha. He freed the jalebi from its traditional contents and process — working with nothing more than fine wheat (maida), yeast and water, then flooding the thick, crisp, golden-brown coils in sugar syrup. Delicious, crunchy, finely flavoured Grato Jalebi was born.

His son, Mohammad Idrees, carries the business forward with new techniques from Lahore — in the plot next to Pak AIMS College, Gulberg, near Centre Point. Today the same genuine recipe, delightful and crunchy, is served fresh at two dedicated Grato Jalebi shops in Lahore.

Small batches only

We would rather sell out than serve a spiral that has been sitting for an hour.

Ingredients you can name

Flour, yoghurt, ghee, saffron, cardamom, sugar. Nothing else goes in the kadhai.

Built for Lahore

Late nights, chai tables, mehndi trays — our menu is shaped by how this city eats.

Fresh, hot, crispy, sweet, authentic and irresistible.

Our Story

Tradition inevery spiral.

Grato Jalebi began with one belief: the jalebi deserves the same reverence as any fine dessert. Not a street-corner afterthought — a ritual.

Our batter ferments overnight. Our syrup is perfumed with saffron and cardamom. Our samosas are folded by hand, batch after batch, so the one you bite into left the oil minutes ago.

Classic taste, held to a modern standard.

How it's made

From batter
to bite.

The Mix
01

The Mix

Flour, yoghurt and time. Our batter ferments overnight until it breathes.

The Spiral
02

The Spiral

Piped free-hand into the oil — every coil is drawn, never moulded.

The Fry
03

The Fry

Ninety seconds in shallow ghee at the exact temperature that makes glass.

The Syrup
04

The Syrup

A short saffron-and-cardamom bath. Long enough to sweeten, short enough to stay crisp.

The Perfect Bite
05

The Perfect Bite

Boxed hot and handed over within minutes. Crisp outside, syrup inside.
