Khyber Dodai is a good cultural food place. Their ambiance depicts rich Pashtun culture with their cuisine. I liked their food quality and taste but the bad thing was I had to climb 3 floors to get to the place . Overall experience staff generosity and design ambiance all was good I recommend this place to my friends who are tourists and looking for a good food in F6 Islamabad.

There are many restaurants in twin cities that offer shinwari type of food but Khyber Dodai stands out.The service, ambiance and taste are just excellent. Shinwari namkeen is my all time favorite. In my sons rankings, it is his number one place to dine.Would love to keep coming again and again.

Food was fine i wont say good. but the sitting was worst. the couches were dirty, i am sure they have not been sanitized since the spread of virus. plus there were no doors to the cabin this made the cabins very cold, food also quickly became cold. i dont think i will want to go there again.

Khyber Dodai is a must for you if you love Desi cuisine.They always have excellent taste and are affordable as well.And their rooftop sitting and traditional rabab music just makes the desi experience even more fun.

Absolutely loved the lamb/dumba karahi.Best lamb karahi in Islamabad.Kabuli/ Afghani pulao is just okay.Place is good for families too, nice seating arrangements.Pro tip: Order on call before coming as it takes 40-45 minutes to cook the lamb.

Good ambiance but unfortunately the prices are sky high - the taste is just acceptable! Regular soft drink (250ml) for Rs. 110 is a rip-off.In short, a disappointing visit - never again!

I visit to day Khyber Dodai ... Its not my first time but I ordered Dum pokh for the first time and Chicken boti. Food was ok , ambiance is nice.They cooked Dum pokh with sweet potato and by asking , they told me , there are no other potatoes Ava in Mandi so they use Sweet potato. Really . Sweet potato turn the dum pokh tasteless.Rest there service is good and on time.

Food is freshly made. Taste was good. Sobat is a traditional dish with soup-soaked bread. Angara chicken was tasty salted barbeque. Chappal kabab was well made. All the dishes are recommended. Rooftop seating gives fresh air and marvelous views of margallas. Live pashtun music adds to the ambiance.

A good place to eat lunch or dinner with family. A fun place for families with live music and traditional style and touch of khyber pukhtunkhaw. Variety is limited but of good quality. BBQ is delicious and some are mouth watering. Visit and enjoy.

Their fish, bar-b-q and kabuli pulao are the best. Roghni naan were really yummy, soft and buttery. Chapli kabab was huge in size but very bland. Their buffet is also worth the money.Overall it is a good place for shinwari lovers.

Khyber DodaiThough the steps leading up to the place can be a bit much, it doesnt feel that long because of how well decorated and fun the approach is. Khyber dodai is a restaurant specialized in making you eat until you can no longer move; which you dont really mind cause of the great view and setting.The Shinwari Namkeen Mutton Karahi is absolutely delicious, with bits of charbi melting like butter in your mouth. (And this is coming from a spoilt burger bacha who normally cant stand mutton. If youre like me, dont worry! This is truly exceptional) The Rosh Namkeen comes in a perfect light yakhni with bits of succulent meat and perfectly cooked potatoes, all the flavors melding perfectly in a single serving (depending on how much you eat) bowl. All of this to be enjoyed, of course, with fluffy and crisp kabuli naan.The service is excellent, well trained and polite. The serving sizes are just large enough, and for a feel of the pricetag, we fed 12 people well in just about 7000rs.Whether youre a mutton-lover or a strictly-pizza-only kinda person, this place and its food transcend those arbitrary boundaries in an experience that leaves you completely satisfied, in body, mind and soul.Short version?Idhar jao, mutton Khao, aur so jao.Ambience - 9/10Food - 8/10Rooftop pe Islamabad ki thandi hawaaein 100/10

What a great cultural place to be. Best North Western cuisine is prepared fresh. The food is ecstatically fresh and mouth watering.Beef kebabs, mutton karahi are stellar, with too good presentation.Suhbat is chicken mixed with bread and curry which is really satisfying and finger licking.Lemon soda is weak as its not North Western Pakhtoon item. But nonetheless one of the best foods and dining address of Islamabad.

Food is awesome, finding such traditional dishes of FATA and Baluchistan with taste that good is difficult.Live music increases the ambience.Need to manage the roof top settings a bit.Staff needs training for serving and taking orders.Best for groups and families.Do not forget that u have to go through a narrow staircase to go to the resturant.

Every thing from service to the namkeen tikka to karahi and to their special platter was top notch! We were a group of 13 friends who are lamb meat enthusiasts (lol) and travel frequently to peshawar just for namkeen tikka as well as try out various shinwari places in/around pindi and Islamabad and we simply loved our experience at khyber dodai.

Hidden among small shops in the Markaz, this is a delightful authentic experience. From the painted trucks of Pakistan decor to the delicious Pushtoon cuisine, this is a must experience for tourist and national alike. Service is good and the restaurant is clean and spacious. visit was enjoyable. Khyber Dodai offers the best Afghan or Peshawari food. There Chapal Kababs are the best in town.Also the service is extremely good and courteous as well.You must try their Lassi as well
