Hi
Habibi restaurant in F 8 markaz, and some nice restaurants margalla road,and manal.

1

Tabaq Restaurant,Usmania,Red Onion & Afghan Restaurent in F-7 Super market.

Des Pardes restaurant and Andaaz restaurants in Said Pur village Islamabad are great. Also Monal restaurant has wonderful view.

What kind of restaurants do you want to go to?

If you want to enjoy a good view and normal food you can go to Monal on Margalla hills.
There are a lot of choices in Saidpur Village but can be on the pricier side.
Then there are the usual places that are good too like Atrio in Jinnah Super, Chaaye Khana in Super, Tehzeeb in F-8.
One I like in particular is KC Grill. It has a nice bbq, lasagne, kalonji naan etc. Also Roasters is good too and I love their food but it is heavy on cheeses and I describe their food as heart attack on a plate :p Both are in Jinnah super.

There is a restaurant Jehangir in Blue Area and their chicken handi and roghni naan are pretty good.

Highly recommend the Botan Salti Sajji House that serves Baluchi food. The roast leg of lam served on a sizzling metal plate is SOOOO delicious. Also order the kabuli rice (golden raisins with a hot spice on basmati rice). Also, a good and inexpensive place is the Kabul Restaurant. Both in Islamabad.

Kabul in F7 market for good Afghan, Mocca in Khosar if you need a coffe. OPTP in F7 if you need a cheesburger and ISL's best fries. Des Pardes in Saidpur Village if you want a nice view of the Margallas and good chicken haandi. Lassania in Blue Area for the chicken biriyani. Serena Hotel coffee shop's club sandwhich - NOT to be confused with the club served elsewhere in the hotel. They are different, and only one is good. The Marriott has Islamabad's best sushi - try the dynamite roll. Melody Market does the best breakfast - have the chann puri and chai and then get aanda paratha. Lazeez in F7 does good Lebanese food. I could go on and on but it's breakfast/brunch time in Delhi and now I'm just starving...
