The famous Daal Chawal
Ask anyone in Islamabad where to find the best daal chawal and one name keeps coming up: Shah G Foods. What began as a single counter in F-10 Markaz is now the everyday plate for students, office workers and families across the twin cities. The daal is slow-cooked, finished with a hand-made tarka and served over fluffy rice.
It is the dish people search for by name, and it is still priced so that first-time customers are surprised by how little it costs.
Biryani, pulao and karahi
Beyond daal chawal, our rice and karahi dishes keep people coming back. Chicken biryani, Bannu beef pulao and haleem chawal sit alongside chicken, desi chicken, mutton and BBQ chicken karahi, all cooked fresh when you order. Add a hot roghni naan or kulcha straight from the tandoor.
Charcoal BBQ and rolls
In the evening, the charcoal grill takes over: chicken tikka, seekh kebab, malai boti and reshmi kebab, with paratha rolls, zinger burgers and shawarma for a quicker bite.
Chai and lassi
No desi meal is complete without a cup of doodh patti or a tall glass of sweet or salty lassi. Both are served at every branch and are the perfect finish to a plate of daal chawal or a BBQ platter.
