Javeria claims that there aren’t too many joints exquisitely made for desserts, but residents often indulge in them from the same place they’re dining at 🙂

RESTAURANTS (Top 8)
1. The Monal
Set atop the Margalla Hills, this beautiful, outdoor restaurant offers a breath-taking view of Islamabad. It’s one the top ten most scenic restaurants in Asia. Pleasant weather almost all year round and great food. Can’t get much better than that!

This is one of the 7 restaurants in the 5-star hotel, Serena. Perfect for a classy night out.

Beautiful restaurant in Islamabad serving Thai and Chinese cuisine. Great food and service. Only downside is that the portions are rather small.

Located in F-7 Islamabad, this is one cute, casual diner. Good food, efficient service and comfortable environment.

8. TGIF
Thank God Its Friday! Perfect place to relax after a stressful week.

DESSERTS (Top 3)
1. Hot Spot
With a wacky interior and probably the best brownies in the city, a visit to this place is a must.
Javeria recommends: The Killer Chocolate Brownie
2. Grato Jalebi
Over the years, countless roadside shops by this name have opened up in the Twin Cities (Islamabad & Rawalpindi) and each one claims to be the real deal. These shabby shops with the huge woks are the true taste of Pakistan. Little advice from a local, the shop on Murree Road is THE original Gratto Jalebi.
Javeria recommends: They only sell one item – Jalebis!
Probably the best patisserie in town! They offer mouthwatering, freshly baked goodies.
Javeria recommends: Chocolate Fudge Cake
