Book Food Tours in Islamabad

A food tour here is a walk through several kitchens rather than a single restaurant meal. The common Islamabad route covers a desi nashta of halwa puri and paye in Melody or G-9 Karachi Company, chapli kebab and karahi in the F-6 and F-7 markets, and dessert or kashmiri chai at a Saidpur or Kohsar spot. The Rawalpindi route runs Saddar and the Raja Bazaar lanes.

Group tours are Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,500 per person including all tastings and transport between stops, with private tours for a family at Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000. Evening tours start around 6 pm and run three to four hours; breakfast tours start at 8 am and run two to three. Portions are shared, so arrive hungry but do not eat beforehand.

Tell the operator about dietary limits before booking, because the standard route is heavily meat-based and a vegetarian version needs different stops. Ask how many tastings are included, whether drinks are covered, and how much walking is involved, since the Rawalpindi route covers a lot of ground on uneven lanes.
