says, “This project is a project of love.” In companionship of Mr. Shaukat Ali
Suleman & Mr. M. Umar Qasim, he made frequent research tours to various places
in Pakistan to grasp the theme strongly. At last he got it during their tour to
Lahore and it was in the Badshahi Qila (also built by the Mughals) that the idea
of LalQila came into being. Mr. Razi Zubairi has remained with us at LalQila and
he actively advises us through all modifications and additions being
continuously made at the restaurant. It was the alliance of Mr. Razi Zubairi
with Mr. Muhammad Ali Suleman that the FuNQila, a true work of Art was created.
This children’s play area is totally hand crafted and truly depicts the royal
flavor of LaLQila.
