Our story
From one counter in Islampura to a Lahore institution
For more than 57 years Kaka has done one thing: make paan that people cross the city for.
The journey
Built one paan at a time
No shortcuts and no franchise playbook, just a recipe Lahore fell in love with and a family that kept showing up.
1969
A single counter in Islampura
Kaka Pan Shop opens its first counter in Islampura. Through hard work and one unforgettable meetha paan, the name slowly spreads across the old city.
1985
Second branch at Chapper Stop
Demand outgrows one counter. The Chapper Stop branch opens and a loyal following starts to build around the Kaka name.
2000s
A Lahore institution
Consistent quality and trust make Kaka one of the most loved paan shops in the city, the place families bring guests after dinner.
Today
25+ branches, one recipe
Kaka now serves Lahore from more than 25 branches, with new favourites like Fire Paan alongside the same Meetha Paan recipe from 1969.
What we stand for
The Kaka promise
Fresh, every time
Every paan is folded by hand when you order it. Never pre-made, never sitting on a shelf.
One recipe since 1969
Our Meetha Paan tastes the way it did on day one. We've added new flavours but never changed the original.
Same Kaka, every branch
Whichever of our branches you visit, you get the same quality, the same taste and the same welcome.
