A particular preparation of green tea, known here as kahwah, qehwa, kehwa or kahwa, is the Peshawari beverage of choice. The age-old recipe dictates that tea be brewed in a large copper container (samovar), with spices like saffron, cinnamon and cardamom added for fragrance and flavour. Nowadays, liberties are often taken with the original recipe, but drinking kahwah remains an indispensable tradition. Another noteworthy treat is the falooda, a sweet dessert drink prepared with rose syrup, basil, jello bits and milk.

Cafe Crunch

Cafe Crunch

Cafe Crunch is a pleasant surprise: unlike at many other city eateries, guests are welcome to linger for longer than the exact amount of time it takes to finish a meal, which is great news for those who happen to love the breezy courtyard. The menu lists a selection of meals and snacks, including the recommended steaks and pizza, as well as desserts and soft drinks. There is live music in the evenings.

Chief Burger

Chief Burger

One of the very first fast casual restaurants in Peshawar, Chief Burger is still going strong years after its opening, serving good quality, inexpensive casual meals, with burgers and pizza at the forefront, and other offerings including steaks, salads, soups, and dessert.

Jan's Deli

Jan's Deli

Jan's is a pleasant University Town area spot for casual meals (they serve everything from burgers to steak and pasta) or coffee breaks, with enticing, scrumptious cakes displayed at the shop front. The set meals are of great value, and highly recommended.

Mr. Cod

Mr. Cod

Mr. Cod is a local take on the traditional UK fish and chip shop, with a fast food menu that includes fish burgers, deep-fried prawns, chicken rice, and fish tikka, all of which come as part of great value combo meals with fries. The breakfast special includes an egg muffin sandwich, red beans, salad, and a hot beverage.

Cafe De Melano

Cafe De Melano

The Italian bakery and restaurant Cafe de Melano occupies the basement of Amaan Center in the Main University Road (use the Telenor office as a reference point). Many come here for the scrumptious cakes, but meals like steaks, barbecue, seafood, and even Thai and Chinese dishes are served.
