The food in Patriata (New Murree), and Murree in general, has been greatly influenced by the culinary traditions of the Punjab, as well as Mughlai cuisine from the times of the Mughal Empire. The region has witnessed a blend of spices, nuts, and roasting techniques that were brought by the Persians and Turks through trade routes. The food here has a comforting home-cooked vibe, commonly prepared with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Given its location in the northern part of Pakistan, the climate also influences the food, with heartier meals being preferred due to the colder weather.
