A BRIEF HISTORY

During the British rule, Bahawalpur was a state of the Punjab in what is now Pakistan. It was founded by Bahadur Khan II in 1690 which was the era of the Nawabs. Nawab Mohammad Bahawal Khan III signed the states firsy treaty with the British in 1833 guaranteeing the independence of the Nawab. The state which is located 420km south of Lahore acceded to Pakistan on 7th October 1947 and was merged into the province of West Pakistan in 1955. Stretching along the Sutlej, Bahawalpur was a very unique state with its architectural Palaces and Forts amongst its heritage to date. Still under British rule, more towns and agricultural villages started emerging along the River Sutlej. The villages that were along the River Sutlej were called Chak and numbered hence the name chak 89. The owners who were born in CHAK 89 are today the inspiration behind CHAK 89 restaurant and banqueting. With its natural beauty and agricultural land the village still has history to its heritage by having the name CHAK 89 on its village sign post.

Welcome and enjoy the ambience of CHAK 89.
