Good ambiance and decor. Staff is polite and friendly. Food tastes nominal. The prices are a bit on the higher end considering what other restaurants of similar category offer. Portion sizes are also small. Just 3 small pieces of fish in Fish n Chips for Rs.949+tax. Molten lasagna had a good serving size but tasted just okay. Peach iced tea tasted extremely tangy. Parking space is too crowded.

Went here with my family when it was a newly opened restaurant and I had read good reviews about it so I expected it to be up to the mark and I was definitely satisfied.I ordered their molten lasagna which the waiter said was their specialty and I was so happy with it. The gooey cheese really comes melting out from the centre when you cut it and all the layers of pasta were so tasty. The quantity was amazing even though it looks smaller in the picture below.My brother ordered a chicken burger which also came in good quantity and he liked it. They have a wonderful sitting area outside so it’s perfect when the weather is favorable. Our orders were prepared efficiently & it was a bit expensive but the food was totally worth it.I went again twice with my friends and had a great time, so I would recommend this to everyone especially pasta lovers

Tasty food with good seating arrangement to chill, especially in the evenings. Dishes are saucy and filling and the stringy hot cheese makes the eating experience fun.

And here is my new experience.Mindanos!!A small but an eye catchy place.Ordered mozzarella chicken strips as appetizers but it was something more then just an appetizer, it was a wholesome meal itself. Loved the sauce!!!Fajita nachos were again on point!Crispy , cheesy, spicy 10/10Thats definitely something worth trying.

Ambiance is good but the food is quite average. I liked their cheesy chicken but molten lasagna was just average in taste. It was soo bland.

Food was on point. And prices of some items are reasonable too. They just need to focus on their ambiance as its quite rushy and congested. Like there isnt any suitable amount of distance between two tables. Otherwise I liked Molten Lasagna and Fettucine Pasta and Grilled chicken Pizza.

Balcony with view, I love their ambience.Ordered fish stack and molten chicken lasagna.Fish stack is hell amazing, it’s worth a try and their famous molten chicken lasagna was not that good as it appears to be.@mindanos

I have tried mindanos before its taste was good but on my recent visit yesterday its worse . I ordered motlen cheese lasagna but it looks more like minced curry then lasagna too much oil as if I am eating some salan .Panini was okay but found hair in it and manager said its because we have an outdoor setting and further excuses

What we ordered:Appetizer: HummusMain: Mushroom Beef Steak, Molten Chicken LasagnaDrinks:Butterbeer, Very Berry SmoothieAll of the food was great and came in time and tasted amazing. The drinks are a must have for those looking to peak out of their comfort zone for a bit of a tangy but sweet taste.The molten lasagna was creamy and very well made, the beef steak was also made juicy according to the specifications asked for.

Now its turn to share my experiemce at Mindanos. Its a good , reputed cafe in town having amazing taste in almost all the items served here. As per my concern I ordered a high tea Platter that was served for two persons and to be honest it was more then enough for two hungry persons.Platter consist of three plates including two mini burgers , two chicken pieces , a spicy Pasta , two paratha like pieces with fries , a fresh salad, a fruit bowl having fruit pieces with crunch type wafers and also two little chocos , two cake pieces and much more .In addition with two lovely mint margaritas.It was really more then enough for both of us and we couldn’t finish that all but we taste every thing and every thing was made so precisely and amzingly cooked .Taste 10/10Presentation 10/10Environment 10/10

Review №26

Amazing service, nice ambiance but the food is a hit or a miss.With the quality of service they provide, and the limited menu with prices like these, Mindanos has the chance to serve top notch dishes to match that service, but while some dishes are worthy, most just fall flat.The Lasagna arrives cold, the Chow Mein seemed microwaved, the best part about the nachos is the salsa and not the cheese topped biscuit like things they serve as nachos. The pizza was great one time and totally inedible the next.With a little quality control and thought in the kitchen, this can be an amazing place.

Review №27

The only place where I had to send my steak back because it was inedible. The meat/steak cut they used was clearly not up to par. Their mushroom sauce as also bland. The serving size was smaller than their competitors. Their staff kept making excuses for terrible taste and size. The manager was unapologetic.Will recommend you to stay away from this place until they making some real changes

Ambience is normal, food taste is also normal, nothing extra ordinary. We, Lahori people seek more taste and quality in food rather than only ambience.

Ta
Review №36

Decor and ambience is nice, but the food is unremarkable.We ordered mozzarella chicken strips as appetizers, a honey mustard beef steak, and their famous (at least on Instagram) Mindanos Cheesy Chicken.The mozzarella chicken strips and Cheesy Chicken were fine but relatively bland.The steak smelled like it had been taken out of the freezer, and was dry and did not have the texture of fresh meat even though we were assured that they get fresh meat everyday. The vegetables (at least carrots) with the steak were definitely stale.The manager got the steak redone, but that didnt make much of a difference, at least they eventually struck it off our bill, and offered complimentary dessert.

This place is located in F6.The restaurant itself isn’t as big as it should be.The dishes are Love their cheesy chicken, chicken with almond, cream of mushroom and chicken soup and juices!Their crispy chicken burger was and I won’t recommend it to anyone.Also tried their breakfast.Mindanos cheese omelette is fantastic 10/10! The omelette tasted great and very fulfilling.Nutella banana stuffed toast is wonder too 9/10.Shakshuka eaten with paratha is great (layer of mashed potatoes, minced chicken in tomato and two eggs on top)Butterscotch coffee was good too

The staff was courteous. The ambience is great. They have split up the floor plan really nicely so you can choose to lounge on sofas or group together on the benches or have a more formal dinner on straight back chairs or mount bar stools for an active meal or sit out in the open and take in the chill. They have got heaters outside to keep you warm. The decor too is nice. The menu I think is run-of-the-mill. Other than the molten lasagne there wasnt anything on the menu thats not available at every other place. This is not to say that the food wasnt good.

I went to this place with my friends for dinner and we were greeted warmly by the staff who guided us. The environment is so lively and really hard to match the rest of restaurants in that place.

The food was really really good. We ordered Mindanos cheesy chicken which was really good and quattro so so chicken which was good as well. We also had a skillet brownie which was ok and some minor adjustments could be made there. However, the only downside of this place is the overall cleanliness and a top notch ambience e.g. the glasses had some stains and the windows and seats also needed some attention.

It was first hard to find it as it is located on the first floor of the plaza and that too on the inner side but eventually did find it and it was really worth it.Food was awesome, beautiful ambience, outdoor terrace seating, courteous staff, quite, cosy, and lovely balanced pop music.Recommended for dinner and Hi teas.Price value is 8/10.I would recommend to increase the quantity for the given prices.

The ambiance was 8/10. As its not a big place so if a lot of people are there at a time, that place becomes conjusted. The food was excellent. I ordered nachos, steaks, 3 types of margaritas, and molten lasagne. Mint margarita didnt taste good at all the other two( peach and mix fruit) were much better. And when you go there, do try its molten Lasagne, its soo yummy ️

My first visit to Mindanos Islamabad. Tried their molten Chicken Lasagna. It was a very average in taste dish, presentation was fabulous though. The cheese ozing out once you cut open the lasagna is a treat to watch. In terms of taste, it was average. The spices were also very okayish. Ill probably give it a try one more time to give my final verdict about the dish.

An excellent place to hang out with friends and family. I ordered Steak along with appetizers and drink, the steak was succulent and appetizers were savory, the staff was exceedingly cordial and urbane. Food presentation was exorbitant, akin to what I saw in a pre-launch advertisement.The staff affable behavior and delish cuisines made my day wonderful. I will love to visit Mindanos again.

Visited once with family & friends. It looked like an average restaurant in the middle of Super Market, but Mindanos was anything but!So we strolled in for dinner and we were straight away greeted by the friendly staff they asked if we wanted to be seated indoor or open terrace, we snagged a table indoor it was cosy and was was filled with aroma of baked pizza. The menu was perfect something for everyone you can chose from pizza, burgers, steaks to continental and sea food the choice is yours. Do try their Salsa Rose pizza and Molten Lasagna. Portion size was good compared to price and food was fresh. By the end of our meal my wife was already planning our next visit. So all and all it was a good experience. Oh and btw you can arrange birthday parties there too.

Yaar mera review dalnay ka bilkul dil nhi hai, lakin chalo phr let’s talk about my recent visit to @mindanos .Ordered 1) their most famous Molten Lasagna and 2) Cream of Mushroom Pasta with Chicken. Before talking about the food, I would like to highlight few things, the cutlery is pathetic, old, full of scratches, plates literally have completed their life.The staff is not welcoming at all. May be they are tired or they don’t care about the customers anymore ‘kyun k business chal para hai’Coming to the food, Molten Lasaga is overly priced item. It was served luke warm, it should have been oven hot lakin mamlat aesay nahi thay. Bs theek tha, don’t deserve 1000+taxAb hm baat krtay hain, cream of mushroom pasta ki, to mamlat aesay hain it was hot, white sauce was cooked very nice. The chicken on top was a total flop. I would have loved the dish without chicken. It was dry, and tasteless. But still it was a nice dish. Yeah the serving size was less than most of the places.Mamlat ordinary hain, ziada expectations na rakhaen. Agar ziada expectations rakhaen gae to scene bad hoga.Total bill Rs 2,050 for these two mains, one coke can and mineral water (large)#meinbohatkhatahoon #tinyblogger #islamabadfood #dhaislamabad #bahriatown

Food was good, I liked the BBQ steak but there was no mustard sauce or HP sauce served. Not even chilli sauce was served!The Cheesy Chicken was excellent and cheesy, very warm and filled with chicken , pasta, cheese and potatoes. Serving was excellent, two people could have shared one.It was overcrowded at dinner time and the waiter assigned to us wasnt giving us sufficient time, and wasnt very courteous either, forgot to bring our drinks and wouldnt even check on our table if we needed anything else. More training is required.Price was a little on the high side, but I think it was justified for the food. Will visit again.Avg price per head: 1350pkrMusic: Yes, very loud at times.

Just PerfectAmbiance: 9/10Menu: 10/10Food/Taste: 10/10Environment: 10/10Among appetizers, I chose Nachos and they were exceptionally good.In main course, I first decided to go with Molten Chicken Lasagna but they were out of items. Then I ordered Creamy Fettuccini Pasta and it was remarkable, creamy, a little spicy, and mushrooms lost in the flood of creamy pasta added to its taste. Among those in Islamabad including roasters, tuscany, and wild wings, this one is probably the best for pasta.Overall it has been a wonderful experience. Next time, Id go for Molten Chicken Lasagna if available.
