Islamabad

Offering what is beyond a doubt the best view of any restaurant in Islamabad, The Monal is nestled up among the lush Margalla Hills, away from the city noise, but providing a breathtaking panoramic view of its urban area. It is a bit out of the way, but the view and the mix of European and Asian specialties make it well worth a visit.

This is more of a rugged, local restaurant than the fine dining that can be found in more expensive places, but locals keep coming back to Kabul for the fantastic Afghan specialties, particularly the barbecue and the dumplings. The place itself is simple and no-nonsense. They let the food do the talking.

Ox & Grill Steakhouse serves premium steak sizzlers, burgers, and a variety of Mexican, Italian, and Chinese dishes. The restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with attentive service, delicious desserts and authentic Italian coffee.
