Top 3 Restaurants in Islamabad, Pakistan
Finding ‘good food’ can be really hard sometimes. Especially when you’re in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. For a country with such a distinctive culture, there is plenty of variety to choose from. Islamabad, being such a diverse city has every type of food be it continental, traditional or anything else. Everyone loves food but choosing where to eat from is the most indecisive part. Here are some top picks to fulfill your starvation with satisfaction! Hopefully they live up to your cravings and shortly become your go-to places!
- Monal
The Monal Restaurant located at the Margalla hills is the perfect spot for a lavish hi-tea, brunch or dinner with friends and family. Whether you would like to dine in or out, they will provide you the ideal ambiance. While dining outdoors, you can enjoy an extensive view of the Capital along with a peaceful environment.
They serve a combination of traditional and contemporary cuisine. It is the first choice of locals and foreigners alike. Their buffets are legendary although they do not have many vegetarian options. The prices might slightly exceed your budget but it’s worth the hype. The staff treatment and overall taste completely compliment the ambiance. The only person I wouldn’t recommend Monal is to someone who doesn’t prefer higher spice levels.
2. Street 1 Café
The Street 1 Café located in Kohsar market, Islamabad is there to satisfy your cravings, whether their savory or sweet! They have a great ambiance but finding seats can be pretty tricky on weekends as it’s mostly full so you will have to book your place prior. There exquisite food has the best quality, quantity and is definitely ‘Instagram worthy’!
Their ambiance is greatly pleasing but you better take all of your money because this is definitely not going to please your budget. In desserts, their hot seller Hit-me Skillet Cake is the ultimate recommendation for your sweet tooth!
3. Cheezious
There are about three to four outlets of Cheezious in Islamabad but if you’re looking for a street-food kind of seating for a lunch out with friends or family, I would recommend the F-7 Markaz outlet.
Cheezious is an iconic fast-food brand for your cheesy longings. They have an excellent service and specialize in pizzas mostly but you can also try their burgers and sides. If you’re looking for great food at a great price then Cheezious the place for you! Their bestseller is the Crown-Crust pizza.
