We are back in PAKISTAN!!! This is our brand new series, covering Pakistan’s most beautiful hidden gem: THE NORTH! We are kicking off the series in Islamabad (where you will likely begin your journey too). We’re here to show you the BEST food you can have in the beautiful capital city of Islamabad.

We start the day meeting up with our good friend and Islamabad expert, Sulmeen. We head to the Margalla Hills, the foothills of the Himalayas, and up into the historical village of Saidpur. This cute village is a great place to witness traditional culture, artisan handicrafts, and stunning views. Here we saw a 16th century Hindu Temple “Ramkun Temple” and a local man showed us historical pictures of Islamabad’s growth as a city.

We stopped into Des Pardes for breakfast and ordered Anda Channay (chickpeas & eggs), Aloo Bhujia (moth bean & potato), various paratha with desi ghee and ginger chai. We were so excited to taste Pakistani flavours again and the amazing chai, and we were not disappointed!

Now it was time for some STREET FOOD! We went to a traditional stall making samosas SUPER FRESH! As soon as they came out of the oil, we ordered vegetable and qeema (minced meat) samosas. They were served with raita and chutney on the side for dipping. WOW these samosas were delicious!

To wash down all of those savoury foods, we needed to head to a traditional Pakistani sweet shop for some classic desserts. We ordered Rasmalai, Gulab Jamun and a specialty platter with tons of different treats!

In the evening, we went to the best hotel in the city, Serena Hotel Islamabad (we stayed in this hotel, in the Junior Suite - highly recommend!). Aside from its beautiful construction with details of Northern Pakistani architecture, and their commitment to sustainability, the hotel is also home to several restaurants including the award-winning Dawat Restaurant. We were able to try food from many regions of the country, including Balochistan, Punjab, and more!
