Funky Pop

So it turned out that funky pop is one of the underrated places in Islamabad because I heard mixed reviews about them and I wasn’t sure if it’s good or not. So recently I got a chance to try these on Islamabad Eat.I had Belgian Brownie and Cookies n Creams. I wanted to eat all of them as names sounded really cool but I took only one friend along so I had only two! 

Coming to the taste, I thought they would be some watery ice lollies but NOO! They were quite good, it was more like some different frozen dessert than ice cream! I found both equally good and tasty and couldn’t decide which one is better! Cookies n cream has more milky flavor than Belgian Brownie!You guys need to try these both!P.s they are for Rs. 220 only each, prices were different.🙈I see people complaining what’s so special about them, but I mean it’s just for Rs.220 and if you enjoy every bite and want to have it again then why not?

Chatta’s

Review time: So when talking about food Chatta’s serve one of the best desi cuisine. Their Shahi thaali has mutton cheema, boneless chicken, aloo bhujiya, chaana & palak paneer. All of this is cooked in desi ghee. Have this scrumptious meal with roghni naan & meethi lassi…..YUMMY!

Food quality: 8-5/10

Service: good

Ambiance: nice

Price: Affordable

Habibi Restaurant

My family wanted a BBQ treat so we decided to go to Habibi in PWD. We ordered a BBQ platter which was quite wholesome. More than enough for a family of five. It was served piping hot in under 20 minutes with Qabli Pulao and three types of Seekh kebab, mutton roast, malai boti, fish tika, mutton ribs, chapal kebab, beef etc. The food was really tasty and we loved it. 
Kabuli or Afghani Pulao is a must have, even better than the original. BBQ is good, try their BBQ platter, their Branch in I sector Islamabad is the best. 

Ambiance:          8/10

Food:                 9/10

quantity:            9/10

Value for money: 10/10

Shanghai Bistro

I just love CHINESE food! If you’re bored of eating desi cuisine try Shanghai Bistro.Their ambiance is lovely and most importantly quality of food is just perfect. Talking about food they serve variety of chicken and beef dishes depending on what you want to order. The food I ordered was chicken chow mein, chicken fried rice, beef with ginger and onion gravy, and spaghetti with meat balls. Chunks of crispy chicken was soaked in a zesty brown sauce. Chicken chowmein was stir fried with cabbage, onions and garden fresh vegetables. Spaghetti was cooked in sweet and sour sauce, diced celery, carrots topped with cashew nuts and garlic sauce….

YUM-YUM! Do try it out guys.

Des Pardes Restaurant

Good food and friendly staff, you can choose from variety of seating arrangements. Live music and lighting adds to the overall atmosphere. It also shows the culture of Pakistan (Paintings, truck art etc). Its a good place to take your foreign friends. 

Things to try:

Mughlai chicken curry: tender bihari kabab cooked in some sauce.

Shehanshai vegetable biryani: was surprisingly delicious, not an ordinary masala biryani. It has dry fruit, corn and other vegetables mixed in it. But do not confuse it with kabli pulao.

Raita: though a simple thing but was very fresh with vegetables in it.

It costed 2200 (22$) for two people and we had enough left to take home plus the food was yummy.

Over all experience was really very good...

Asian Wok

Best thing about this is they serve mint margaritas like proper drinks in starter and you can refill them as much as you want. After the food , they serve free complimentary green tea. Who does this? Asian Wok is simply my favorite Chinese/Thai restaurant where i can wait in queue to get in because food, ambiance and service is excellent here.

The food is served in good quantity and kept hot on lamps all the time. Menu is very rich and there is everything for everyone and all ages. If you are visiting Islamabad then its a must try thing.
Highly recommended to everyone!

Street Burger

A reputation which precedes any words that may be penned over this unusual delicacy is hard to follow up, and while waxing poetics is not one of my strong suites, I shall expend my linguistic prowess to try my best. Of course, the infamous charcoal burger of Street burger may seem like a disaster waiting to be slid into the trash at first sight, but it continues to stand as a delicious reality check of why books should never be judged by their covers. Do not let the crusty ashen exterior fool you into believing the inside will mirror the taste of burnt paper. The opposite, in fact. One bite punches right into the juxtaposition of spicy, sharp, and wet flavours packed in every inch of this hefty meal, making every rupee paid in it's rather expensive due worth it.

Hot Spot Haunted Hill

I love open and vast places. One of my favourite places to hangout with my friends and cousins is the hot-spot haunted hill. It is located in F-6/3, Islamabad. It’s an open air café/hangout spot which is made inside a park. The best thing about this café is its location. It is surrounded by the beautiful greenery of various trees and colourful flowers. The view is soothing and very pleasant. Perfect time to visit this place is in the summer and winter evenings. People come here for causal meet ups. One not only enjoys the view, but also has the option to munch on their favourite snacks. What more do you want? Lol. :P Coming towards their menu, they serve different snacks like curly fries, burgers, pancakes and a variety of beef and chicken sandwiches. They also serve various beverages like ice teas, coffees, seasonal juices, smoothies, slush, shakes and lemonades. They are famous for their sweet dishes like chocolate brownies, cheese cakes, nutella buttercakes, different kinds of puddings, cookies, pies and a lot more. So the other day I went their with my little sister and younger cousin and we ordered their special molten lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, my sister ordered chocolate mousse cake which was served with melted chocolate syrup and finally the last thing we ordered was gooey brownie with melted nutella (hot-spot's best seller). YUMM! If you are a sweet tooth like me and you are looking for yummy and mouth watering deserts, don't miss this one out!

Howdy Islamabad

Went for dinner. The table wasn’t clean, they’d removed the dishes but hadn’t wiped down the table. 

The food was overall delicious. Served hot and the quantity was good. The strawberry drink was really nice.

The curly fries were hot and delicious. 
They have a glass partition so u can see the food being prepared in the kitchen.
Howdy has been around for over a year, and its burgers upped the ante for our little town. Char-grilled, and served with a choice of dressings, they are sure to please. You can choose from beef, mutton(yes!), and chicken. Generous sized patties, and if you are Hungry, get the double patty burger. Nice indoor, as well as outdoor seating, the Cowboy themed place is best late afternoon, that way you miss the noisy dinner crowd. One gripe, is the loud thumping canned music. However if you ask them to, they will play a mellow selection, or failing that, turn down the volume.
Will definitely recommend to all.

Nando’s

Nando’s is an Afro-Portuguese chain restaurant serving flame-grilled chicken in spicy chilli sauce. Why is Flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken so popular? Simple answer is it’s mouth-watering, appetizing & tasty. I love spicy food, love it. So guys if you’re a spicy food lover like me, I would recommend all of you to tryout peri peri chicken. Peri-Peri chicken breast is served on garlic bread or bun of your choice and topped with cheddar cheese, tomatoes, pickled red onions and PERi-PERi mayo. Served with some crispy fries YUM! & don’t forget to order chilled mint margarita just in case to cool down your taste buds because it’s gonna be too spicy. ;)
