Islamabad is a city that is well known for its chilly weather. And this weather calls for amazing food. BBQs are one of the most popular choices. There’s a bbq for every type of person; it is my belief. And even on your worst days, a good plate of bbq can bring a smile on your face. Even those who are dieting can take a day off to enjoy some mouthwatering, delicious barbeque! 

You cannot call a meal ‘great’ if you haven’t had a barbeque dish. From tikka to Behari kabab to seekh kabab, Pakistani cuisine has a variety of barbeques that you can enjoy. There are certain foods that you can order easily in case going down to the restaurant isn’t convenient for you. Barbeque is one of those. So, in case it is raining, or your favourite barbeque joint is far from you, you can order food online in Islamabad using the many third-party food delivery services, such as foodnerd. 

Following are the best barbeque places in Islamabad that you ought to check out: 

Mirchi

Mirchi restaurant has been named keeping in mind the kind of food they serve- spicy! Their Behari Boti is to die for! It has the perfect amount of spices in it and is just as tender as one would like.Similarly, their malai boti is an excellent choice too. With the fantastic chutneys, they serve along with their BBQ dishes, and there is no better place in Islamabad to go and have BBQ. The good thing about Mirchi is that it is available on nearly all food delivery applications, including foodnerd! So, if you don’t feel like heading out, just order online but don’t miss out of Mirchi’s mouthwatering BBQs! 

BBQ tonight 

Located in sector G-6/3 of Islamabad, BBQ tonight is a franchise of BBQ tonight in Karachi. Their menu contains a large selection of dishes, but as the name suggests, the main speciality of the place is Barbeques! All the grill items are amazing too, and you get the authentic Pakistani taste from all the desi dishes enlisted on the menu of BBQ tonight. Plus, the place has a great ambience and is ideal to go to with your family and friends. While the original Karachi’s branch still is better in taste than the one Islamabad, it definitely is one of the best BBQ places in Islamabad. 

Hamlet BBQ 

Hamlet BBQ is located in Bahria Town. Their BBQs are finger-licking good! It’s impossible to hold back yourself when you are presented with their malai boti! Hamlet’s BBQ platter is well known in the twin cities because of its superior taste and presentation. It’s one of those few places which has both fast food and desi food option. But, I would personally recommend trying the Hamlet BBQ platter! 

BBQ Bazar 

These people know how to serve BBQ. Their waiters bring the bbq on skewers, making the entire experience even more memorable. Not only is their presentation admirable, but their chicken, mutton and beef bbq also taste great too! If you live in Islamabad, make sure to order food from them or visit them! The problem with BBQ Bazar is that it is usually packed, and thus, it is better to book a table beforehand, so you are not disappointed at the last moment. 

Des Pardes 

Des Pardes is known for its outstanding Mughlai cuisine. From their karahis to barbeques, there’s nothing one can complain about. They have a large bbq variety, and each dish is top-notch. Their beef seekh kabab especially stands out because of how well you can feel the flavours have marinated in the meat in each bite you take. Overall, another great place to enjoy BBQ in Islamabad.
