Fort Road Food Street (Urdu: سڑک خوراک - روشنائی دروازہ, Sarak-e-Khorak - Roshnai Darwaza) is a food street located between Fort Road and Roshnai Gate of the Walled City in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. The street was reconstructed and opened in 2012 as a tourist attraction, by offering Lahori cuisine and views of Badshahi Mosque.[1][2] The street was inaugurated on 21 January 2012, by Hamza Shahbaz Sharif to replace Gawalmandi Food Street.[3][4] In 2013, the Walled City Lahore Authority (WCLA) took charge of the food street from the district government and gave it a major face-lift in collaboration with the private sector.[5]

The Fort Road Food Street is renowned for traditional Lahori cuisines with a stunning view of the majestic Mughal era Badshahi Mosque.[6] The building itself that the street is based on was built during the era of the Mughal Empire and the British Rule.[7]
