The Good Stuff
Live music
Live singing, including 90s Bollywood selections, is a notable part of some evening visits.
Food choices
Specific dishes praised by reviewers include butter chicken with fresh naan, mutton pulav and chicken momos.
Event hosting
One reviewer said a Ramadan birthday for around 100 people was arranged with an iftar dinner.
Casual seating
The venue is described as spacious enough for socialising, with wide seating and a relaxed cafe feel.
Sports viewing
The cafe can become a sports-viewing venue during major matches, with a big screen.
Fresh drinks
Fresh juices and well-prepared drinks are mentioned positively, including a mango mojito.
Tips for a Better Visit
Choose weekdays. Try a weekday evening if you want a calmer visit; one reviewer found the atmosphere and volume manageable then.
Request distance. Ask for a table away from the speakers if loud bass or match audio would spoil the visit.
Plan parking. Parking is easier in the afternoon; after sundown, reviewers suggest looking behind the building.
Check the bill. Compare the bill with the menu before paying, as one diner reported being charged above the displayed price.
Pick a corner. If you want less smoke, request a far-off corner because the cafe has no dedicated non-smoker area.
Confirm music. Ask ahead about live singing or music levels if you are visiting mainly for conversation or a quiet meal.

Loud music

Food inconsistency
One review found the chicken fried rice short on chicken and another described the food during a match as bad.
Pricing dispute
A reviewer said the bill exceeded the menu price for chicken fried rice.
Smoke exposure
There is no non-smoker area, so diners wanting distance from shisha smoke need to seek a far corner.

The Bottom Line
Moula de Jatt is a shisha-led cafe in Oud Metha aimed at relaxed social visits. You can order flavoured shisha, Indian and Pakistani-style food, fresh juices and mocktails, while some evenings add live singing. Reviewers specifically mention butter chicken with fresh naan, mutton pulav, chicken momos and a mango mojito, so it is more than a drinks-and-shisha stop.
The atmosphere is casual, dark and music-driven, with wide seating and a big screen for sports events. It can work well for groups: one reviewer described a birthday gathering for around 100 people during Ramadan, including iftar. The venue is also described as alcohol-free.
Parking is easier in the afternoon and becomes harder after sundown, when looking behind the building may help. There is a clear trade-off. Several customers enjoyed the friendly service, smooth shisha and reasonable prices, but others reported long waits, food inconsistencies and a bill higher than the menu price.
Loud music is the biggest recurring caution, particularly near the speakers or during matches. There is no non-smoker area, so ask for a distant corner if smoke matters. For a quieter experience, a weekday evening received more favourable feedback.
