In a culinary triumph, Siri Paya, a fragrant and delicious Pakistani delicacy, has been ranked 47th in TasteAtlas’ 2024 list of the world’s best restaurants. The respected food guide hit the social media app with the top 50 nominees for the category in April.
Loved by connoisseurs of Pakistani cuisine, Siri Paya is a delicious dish made from lamb or goat butt cooked to perfection in a harmonious blend of spices, herbs and aromatics. The name of our dish, “Siri Paya,” translates to “head and foot” in homage to its main ingredient – the sweet gelatinous meat of the head and the nutrient-rich ants. Slow-cooked to extract the essence of each ingredient, its delicious taste, velvety texture and aromatic taste embody the essence of taste that compares far and wide.
TasteAtlas has recognized Siri Paya as a Pakistani dish among other familiar names of South Asian dishes appearing next to the Indian flag in its list of countries. Keema, Korma and Dal are ‘Indian’ dishes ranked 22nd and 50th respectively. Shahi Paneer and Vindaloo are also on the list.
