Where to eat Pakistani food in Islamabad: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Discover Restaurants offering the best Pakistani food in Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan. 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.

10. BBQ Tonight
Overall Ratings

Also has a sister restaurant in Karachi.
Reviewed By flyfisher66
BBQ Tonight offers a good variety of BBQ. Other than BBQ, they do offer Pakistani curries and Continental dishes too but we found the quality of their continental dishes very ordinary. However, when it comes to BBQ stuff, they are good. So its better to order BBQ dishes only along with an odd curry. We tried four different types of kebabs / tikkas and they were all quite well made. We ordered brain masala too but found it quite ordinary. The ambiance and décor is ok but tables are located too close and overall, despite being a large place it gives the impression of a cramped /crowded place. There is an outdoor seating arrangement too that one can enjoy if the weather is good. Otherwise, better to sit inside. They have enough parking space. Rates are reasonable and it will cost you 800 to 1200 per head, with drinks.

You need to drive through a jungle to reach 1969 and that in itself is a different experience specially at night when you have most of the crowd for dinner. It has a dinning hall but most people prefers the open air sitting adjacent to the big lawns.. It has all kind of options but Pakistani Specialties and BBQ is most served food. They do lack is service sometimes but overall experience is very good.

A good atmosphere With an air of "old Pakistan". The service was very good, but we found the prices were really high for what we got to eat because the portions were not big. But it is Nice view of the village when one sits on the higher floor. I was not impressed by the restroom which had hardly any lights.

I visited with a delegation of 20-ish and didn't see a bill .... so I can't really judge value-for-money.The setting is a much-renovated historical site. The decor does seem rather Disney-esque in tableau form. Nonetheless, the service is top-shelf, the food tasty and (so far as I'm able to judge...) authentic. The other customers were clearly the wealthy of Islamabad: families, couples, and business-tables. Lots of variety ~ based on curries and bbq-style meats. Of course, no alcohol or pork.

The idea for Chaaye Khana was born from our love of tea. A cup of doodh patti in the evening, the Peshawari Kehwa after dinner, and of course, the morning cup of special tea to wake us up. This is what our culture is about, this is the benchmark of our ho

I must say that ambience is nice but dont expect great food and super service. Their server are untrained and food is OK. We ordered 3 eggs mexican omelette which was just plain with capsicum. The other dish was savouryz crepe which was filled with running cream and scrambled eggs. However if they improve on above both fronts then they can do good business as prices are reasonable.

Reviewed By osuccar
I was on short business trip to Islamabad, I wanted to experience local food with scenic views. TripAdvisor shortlisted Monal as top destination. I can not claim any experience, but this restaurant matched my expectations: great food and amazing views. It looks it is always busy, and reservation is a must in order to have first range of tables next to borders. I have insisted to get one such seating as I donât have another chance to come back, and after several trials, they have conceded. Again: very recommended!
