Our Team

Nina Akbar

Founder & CEO – Sikomoro Restaurants

For me, hospitality has never been just about food—it’s about creating spaces that people remember, moments they carry with them, and experiences that touch the heart. From the early days of building Salt n Pepper and Haveli Restaurants, to leading wellness initiatives at Sukh Chan and immersive stays at Jivana, every chapter of my journey has been about crafting beauty, warmth, and meaning into everything I do.

Sikomoro is a deeply personal extension of that philosophy.
It’s where the timeless romance of French and Italian cuisine meets a modern, soulful interpretation—right here in the heart of Lahore. The name itself, Sikomoro, symbolizes roots, growth, and stories that endure through time, much like the mighty sycamore tree from which it’s inspired.

Our flagship in Gulberg brings together a refined dining experience with a world-class bakery, curated to delight the senses and uplift the spirit. Our coffee café in DHA is an ode to quiet elegance and everyday beauty—a space for reflection, conversation, and connection.

At Sikomoro, we are not just serving food. We are offering a celebration of life—of travels, culture, textures, and tastes. Each dish carries the legacy of traditional kitchens from the hills of Tuscany and the patisseries of Paris, reimagined with a touch of bold creativity and our unwavering standard for excellence.

This is not a restaurant chain. It is a movement—a return to artistry, to meaningful service, and to food that nourishes more than the body. It is my heartfelt promise that every corner of Sikomorowill echo care, craftsmanship, and authenticity.

Thank you for believing in this dream with us.
We welcome you to experience Sikomoro—not just as a guest, but as part of our story.

With love and gratitude,
