A local breakfast spot in the F-11 Market, famous for its halwa puri and bone marrow nihari, and a popular destination for traditional breakfast lovers.
Located on Street 20 in the F-11/2 Market, this is a popular spot for Islamabad locals to enjoy a traditional breakfast. The most highly rated item is the halwa puri, with one portion large enough for two people, alongside bone marrow nihari, paye, and Lahori-style chana served with parathas. Reviews for the nihari are mixed, with some loving it and others less impressed; service can be slow and seating cramped during peak hours. Older data lists the average cost at around PKR 1,300 per person, but current prices are likely higher. No reservation is required. It is slightly far from the city center, so taking a taxi is recommended.
