Cocoo's Den & Cafe, Lahore, Pakistan



Shisha place. Relaxed. After Cocoo's Den.


Cooco's Den is full of artifacts. Variety.


After Cocoo's shisha chillin' with Hasan and Muneeza. It was "fit", "tight" and it "clicked". Pakistani slang.


Cocoo's Den is pretty famous. Read the story about the Cocoo's Den in Time.com article. Very interesting story involving a painter and Lahore's Red Light district.


Red light district. Home of Cocoo's Den.


Hasan Zaid works for Roma Business Machines taking care of IBM Software. His wife Muneeza Hasan is in brokerage business and is about to help open JP Morgan office in Pakistan. Moneeza took Hasan's first name for her last name. They do that. We had Tawa Chicken and Brain Masala - goat's brain .. yummy & brainy :) Hasan is Karachi born, worked for a while in UK where he also finished Oxford Brookes University. Prior to Roma he also worked for Jaffar Brothers and ITP in Dubai. Muneeza has a MBA in Finance from University of Karachi. She worked for AKD before deciding to start with new JP Morgan office in Karachi. He plays basket, they both play card games and enjoy movies and books. With unlimited time&money Hasan would buy Arsenal and would manage it.


They cook on the street and lift the food up on the roof to serve it.


Did you know that blind people also play cricket? http://www.blindcricket.org.uk/ They hear the ball. Amazing.
