It is one of the most reasonable restaurants in Islamabad.

It’s a meat-lover’s dream; the menu is dominated by beef and lamb dishes, with little white meat on offer. 

One of our favourite aspects of Afghan cuisine is how flavorful it is without being overly spicy. The salty Afghani tikkas, pieces of beef fat skewered and cooked to perfection, are impossible to stop devouring.
