As my exploration of Islamabad, Pakistan continued, I set out to see more of this incredible city’s landmarks and try more amazing Pakistani cuisine! Join me on my Pakistan food in the capital, where I try Nagina Burger and visit some attractions in Islamabad, Pakistan!
My guide Rashid from Manaky and I started our adventure in Saidpur Village, roughly 10 minutes outside of Islamabad by car. At over 500 years old, it’s one of the oldest villages in Pakistan!

Our Pakistan food tour outside of Islamabad began at Des Pardes, a restaurant in the village that has covered, bungalow-like terraces as well as outdoor seating.
I started with some salad and vegetables with raita. The raita was phenomenal and different and contained lots of herbs.
The creaminess of the raita with the crisp, moist cucumbers and spicy peppers was fantastic! I love vegetables, so having them with a dish like this is always great.
Then, our handi gosht, makhani dal, roghni naan, and garlic naan arrived. I couldn’t wait to dive in!
The hot garlic naan with the mutton-rich handi gosht was an unreal combination. The naan had a fluffy texture similar to a pizza crust.
The dish was nice and hot, and a little oily as well. It was tender and fatty, and adding the raita made it creamy and added an extra texture!
The makhani dal with the naan was also incredibly savory and tasty. I’ve eaten it many times before, but this one was unreal.
Then, I mixed the makhani dal and the handi gosht for an even bigger flavor and texture explosion in my mouth. The naan tied it all together!
Then, as I was leaving, the restaurant owner presented me with a gift! The people of Pakistan are so kind!
Next, we continued to a 500-year-old white-and-yellow Sikh temple called Gurdwara Singh Sabah. The other is a 16th-century Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Rama called Rama Mandir.
From there, Rashid and I headed up to the highest point in town to The Hot Spot, a coffee shop with a terrace what looks out over the village. It’s a real hidden gem! The view is epic and I needed an earthy, Pakistani double espresso coffee to wake up! They gave it to me for free!
From the bottom of the hill, we passed the Art & Craft Gallery. Near it were lots of craft vendors selling paintings, painted tea sets, necklaces, and more. The man inside one of the shops paints the tea sets himself!
Then, Rashid and I headed to Daman-e-Koh in Margalla Hills, where you can find street food vendors, gardens, and play areas for kids.
I tried some creamy and cold dahi bhalle before continuing on to the viewpoint. I could see the Faysal Mosque, some of the few skyscrapers, the highway, and all of the green spaces in town!
Then, back at the food vendors, I ate one large puri loaded with channa, tamarind chutney, masala, and potatoes.
You dip it into a bowl of pani and eat it all in one huge bite! I loved the sweetness of the tamarind!
After a 25-minute drive back to the F10 Markaz area, stopped at Nagina Burger Point. I went with a toasted beef burger with a potato fritter, salad, sauces, and egg on top.
It’s served with ketchup and raita. The sandwich reminded me of a panini. It was very juicy and flavorful, and quite messy.
We then stopped at Jamia Masjid Diwan Umar Farooq Mosque. It was built in 2002 but looked much older. The green and aqua tiles on it reminded me of mosques I saw in Uzbekistan!
Finally, we finished up with some chai at a shop nearby with outdoor seating. They also made parathas and samosas. It was a great place to relax.
The chai was very hot and so creamy, it felt like there was malai on top!
