Islamabad Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Islamabad
Serving as the capital of Pakistan since the Sixties, Islamabad was built according to a carefully organized plan, divided into sectors along a grid of clean, tree-lined streets. The city is sheltered by the Margalla Hills, the foothills of the Himalayas and the home of rare species of leopard, deer, birds, and even porcupines. Several hiking paths end at Daman-e-Koh, a picnic spot with a splendid view of the entire city, including the massive modernist Faisal Mosque and even the Rawal Dam.

We visited after college. And it had old potatoes and steak was also not up to the mark. The renovation might have to do something with it. 2 years ago they served the best steaks but now. ... sad

We enjoyed the food here, went for a birthday party. The service in nicer restaurants in Pakistan is generally good and Monal isn't any different. The food was good, not the best I ever had however that could be down to individual palate.
Wasn't blown away by it however if you're there, it can be a good choice.

I always visit this restaurant. the ambiance isn’t the greatest and the service is delivered poorly but the food is great. Always fresh and all their Afghan dishes are superb. I love eating here regardless of the service because it is one of the greatest Afghan food places. The price is reasonable For the location. A must try if you don’t mind the poor service.

Reviewed By heddomcq - Alexandria, Virginia
For sure the best place for sushi in Islamabad, but not the tops when compared to other places - even Monrovia Liberia was far far better! The tempura is a bit greasy but still good. The sushi is nice - several options have been designed by customers. A nice alternative to many places in the twin cities, and one of the two top restaurants in the Marriott.
9. Tuscany Courtyard

Reviewed By Shahid P - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
I've been to Tuscany quite a few times and have tried fish and chicken dishes. They are well prepared and the chefs have put some effort in making them. However there are two detractors, one that the portions are huge, can't be finished alone, and secondly that the taste is usually a bit on the rich side, which makes eating the whole meal slightly difficult.

The restaurant is very artistically furnished and leaves an impressive first impact the moment one enters. Service is very nice too and staff is very caring. The food is reasonable, nothing spectacular about it but overall, the restaurant is too overpriced. The amount of money that a couple might spend here on a reasonable dinner would be enough for a dinner buffet in Serena or Marriot, which of course is a better choice.
