Hania's lunch at Chatkhara

Hostess of the event Hania Shahid, with her friend and partner in Chatkara Itrat Gillani

Throwing a party, can be a nightmare for many. Where to arrange it? How to arrange it? Ideas like these can be pretty frightening for some. But not for a restauranteur like Hania Shahid. She only has to decide the time and order her staff at Lahore Chatkhara Multan branch and voila, everything is arranged in no time.

It may not be as easy as described here and the only reason would be her personal interest in the details. Who else would think of placing a Red Rose on every serving plate and adding such little gestures of elegance than a lady, who looks after her business place, like her own home. That's the reason, you find homely atmosphere at this restaurant.

On 2nd May, Hania had her turn to host a committee party. As Chatkhara is already everybody's favourite restaurant, there was no place, better to arrange it except her own house. She decided for the restaurant and invited all the members and few of her friends for a fabulous lunch feast. The turnover was amazing, all the lovely ladies brightened the scene. Hania entertained all her guests with great hospitality and personal attention. The scrumptious menu was so inviting that even, the extremely diet conscious could not resist. An afternoon turned fantastic by the enchanting touch by a fabulous lady.

Hania is a girl of great talents from the beginning. Her academic life was full of distinctions and she implements lessons learnt from her Masters degree in Business Administration in her every day life. Maybe this is the reason this educationist - turned social worker - turned banker - turned a restauranteur has performed all her roles so skilfully, in a remarkable way. And still manages to look so great, alongwith being a dedicated wife and mother.

There is hardly any achievement that this gorgeous girl has not bagged yet. It only leaves one wondering, what is next on her list of accomplishments? We wish her best of luck, always and forever.

Leading lady of Multan Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar
