This is absolutely special place & worth to visit. Tasty food serve in beautiful lush green lawns. I was planning to visit this place & finally last night I went there & felt why I came too late to this restaurant. They know how to manage orders. Food served on time despite 2 weddings in our surroundings. Ample parking space & Mosque is also available.
I attended a wedding here recently. The ambience and food was near perfect. The outdoor seating in the winter sun was very nice. The management followed SOPs to the tee. I can only recommend the place highly.
My favourite place but unfortunately my last experience was disastrous. Very poor service. I had to tell them twice to clean table. The worst part was when I opened plastic wrapped cutlery and spoon was smeared with food. Food was tasty as usual but unhygienic conditions specially in Corona time, leaves a question mark on this Restaurant.
Had buffet brunch with 40 people at 1969. We had reunion of our college. Food was too bad. Everything very cold. Food wasnt worth 2000 rupees at all. Everyone with us was complaining. Menu was too limited.
Set in the idyllic green area very close to the Lok Virsa museum this old home converted into a restaurant is a must visit place in Islamabad. No it was not started in 1969 nor is the building in which its indoor dining area is situated was built in 1969 (its much older) the name was just chosen randomly.The food quality is excellent and there is a decent range of items on the menu. The outdoor seating area is much more popular even before COVID times and its an awesome place to enjoy a breakfast or lunch on a sunny winter day or dinner in summers.Even if you do not have a sweet tooth do try their out of this world crispy Jaleebi جلیبی and you will not be disappointed.Highly recommended especially nowadays in the winter during the daytime!
Went there for dinner with the family after reading reviews on Google. Im afraid had a bad experience. Firstly there was a wedding going on when we got there so couldnt enjoy the outdoor seating which is primarily why we chose the restaurant owing to Covid concerns. Eventually got a table indoors to avoid the noise ... The food was below par! Not a lot of flavour to it at all! The interior theme was half hearted and didnt seem as if I was sitting in a restaurant from 1969 and above all the place wasnt the cleanest could be due to the rush from the wedding but thats no excuse.
Delicious food presented in beautiful lush green environment adds to the elated ambience of the place. Prices vary from medium to high with that guaranteed taste to perfection promise. Those looking for relaxation and serenity will find it their desired destination with green sprawling gardens all around the restaurant.
An amazing experience... Very happening place... Food was too good.... Prices are exclusive of taxes and service charges... So to a little higher side... But it was worth a visit!!
One of the best places in islamabad... the desi food is fantastic, its extremely pricy but its one if the most spacious and well managed place. However their staff didnt had any English speaking skills which was surprising for such a posh place ( no it wasnt me who wanted to talk to them in english... but my foreign guests from Australia)The reason they dont get 5 stars is because the continental food isnt up to par. They also rent out the place for events and iv had numerous events organised there.. and the experience was always great.Do try their madrasi chicken
Ambience is good but food is too much expensive. Quantity of food is too little and taste is also average. Staff is also not caring and too ignoring. Only recommended if one wanna visit to enjoy the ambience that too in day time bcz food is only average and too much expensive
Absolutely beautiful and charming with friendly atmosphere around love to visit again..
3:43 PM 23 Nov 2020 I m sitting with my kid & family Hot & Sour soup is very much fine , 2nd starter Fish & Chips served. To be continued...Up to the mark Fish and chips ! Chicken Koyela Karachi is very well cooked . Initially behavior of staff was not good reason best known to them but later on they made our day ! In Islamabad a very much recommended place .
Restaurant is located at peaceful location of Islamabad. I had heard a lot about it so I went their for the first time along with my relatives visiting me from Multan. Their Mughlai Handi was not as we expected. So I think may be I will have to visit again to make up my mind and comment fairly.
It was a great experience eating at 1969.Food was good and atmosphere great sitting outside. I always feel satisfied after eating at 1969.
Cool environment. Must go there with family. . . Platter is massive.
Wonderful experience. Great service and quality cuisine
Came here for my cousins wedding. Location and surrounding scenery are beautiful and open. There were multiple events going on but there were well separated. The food was absolutely faultless and the stage decoration was incredibly smart. There was a mosque in the vicinity of the restaurant as well and ample parking.
Lovely place.Food was delicious.Everthing was just perfect. The atmosphere the staff was also good.
1969 has the ambience , environment, taste, aroma and food quality . Worth a visit cuisine but a bit xpensive and beware to have sufficient bucks in kitties once u visit. Overall a superb place
Nice location especially the trees and the green carpet. Food though is a bit expensive and at times lacks taste too. But overall it is a place one must visit atleast once if you live in Islamabad
Good food, very good sitting area but not cost effective .
An absolutely marvelous place to go out with family. Food is fantastic as well.
A great place to hop in. Their jaleebi is love️
Awesome taste with varieties... The place has a good view and peaceful environment
Good, tasty food. Try their platter (it has an assortment of items on menu).
Very good restaurant with decent staff and high quality food. Great outdoors ambiance. A tad on the expensive side, but it is well-justified by the above and their portion size.
Ambience is good. They should improve on food a bit more.
When it comes to taste this is one of the best restaurants ive come across until now.Their mutton karahi and palak paneer are superb in taste.Also tried their lahori fish which was pretty much delicious.In desserts their gulab jamun and feerni are the best.The sitting environment consists of both in open air and inside restaurant.A good family gathering point on the whole.
Loved the food served in the lawn surrounded in nature! Allah is the best of the creators.
Ambience is awesome,food quality is excellent and it is really a good place for small get together and parties.Highly recommended
Great open air ambiance and good food. Staff is helpful and welcoming.
Good for get to gethers. Have open sitting place and dinning halls. Pre bookings available. Starters are awesome. Food taste is superb. Highly recommended for traditional food lovers.
The best one. Cuisine is however normal.
Good location in Foresty Area. Very noiseless peacefull place and good weather. Especially Jalbi like not available else where. Good service available any time.
Tandoori tea was fabulous, want to have it next time as well.
Food is average, but the bloated prices are not justified at all. Do visit if you have a lot of money to waste... for the same quality of food that you will get from anywhere else.
Lavish ambiance and lovely mealOutdoor sitting is soul refreshing, just make sure there is no matrimonial event planned the same timeStaff is courteous and swift esp Mr. Saad.Definitely recommending.
Food was good but manager was irresponsible , made mistakes in bill several times
Well managed.Food is good.Prices are higher.Old traditional sitting style. I really appreciate there efforts to make this place look more traditional and classic.
And Time Go On....This is literally true about this restaurant that you really feels one hour like a minute.The thing i wanna say that this restaurant has its own style , culture and beautiful environment.No other restaurant can be compare to this.Well cooked and hygienic foods available.You must try the corn soup Its for both families and singles shh mingles too.So if you have enough money to spend dont think just visit it :) its worth.prices are fairly expensive but its not expensive as compare to the way 1969 is ;)
Good food with a great ambience and good service. The outside lawn and event areas are wonderful and very well maintained. The food servings are nice
I had a great time with my family and friends. Its a really great place to visit and servers deliciously warm and fresh food, Id love to visit that place again. This place is absolutely beautiful and very well arranged. I really appreciate their work and effort and I recommend anyone whos reading this to go and visit this place as it also has a great environment, youll love it yourself.
Nice outdoor place to sit and have food. Food is average
Ambience 9/10Waiters 9/10Prices toooooo high 4/10food quality 8/10
Awesome place for family events and the food is great too.
Best food n best environment in the city
Ambiance was nice, although lots of noise. Hygiene not good. Furniture was dirty, spoons had stains and were put on the surface of the table. Service was exteeeemly sluggish, wasted a lot of time. Food was just fine but very expensive.Not recommended unless one has some time and money to waste.
Nice place to enjoy with family and eating out.
Quite Ordinary food and taste but Unnecessarily expensive e.g, 400mg chicken Karahi is of 1600. (three times expensive than ordinary restaurants like this one)Highly Not recommended...There are much better restaurants in Islamabad with these rates.
Extremely overpriced and small portions. Would not go there again.
Delicious food, friendly staff, beautiful trees with large lawn.The best place in the capital specially for wedding ceremony, after parties and all kind of events.
A nice place for events and parties near Islamabads bautiful and green shakarparian, Pakistan monument and the Lok virsa.Ambiance and serenity are the hallmark. Food is good though if not excellent.
We came here especially from lahore after reading a lot of good reviews about this restaurant. However, much to our disappointment the quality of food was below average even inedible. Both the chicken handis were undercooked and even after sending them back 3 times the handis could not be eaten.
Restaurant and marquee too. Very romantic location. Surrounded with greenery. Courteus staff. Out door seating.
Good good and ambience... Must visit.
Located in scenic beauty of Shaker Parian. Food is above average
Decent atmosphere and natural beauty however average food and long serving time
Taste 6/10Service 6/10Ambiance 8/10Quality 7/10
Visited twice there and the experience was not good. High rates for tasteless food. Even the waiter there are liar. After my 2 visits i found it expensive , not only expensive but the food is also average so no need to pay high for average food. Not happy at all by my experiences. If you have money to waste then you should go only
Nice place. Open air is better than indoor. Good taste
Best place ,nice location and also best food
The environment was quite peaceful however we didnt like food. especially sauce in panini pasta taste awful. we literally hated the tea.
So nice food Pakistan number 1 cafe.....
Nice ambience, though peak Summer they managed it well with fans all around. Seating was in Lawn for Iftar time. Prayer place was also designated, those for whom it matters. Food was also acceptable, a variety was available, time & money well spent.
Love the place ambience was great it was a good experience.
First time at this place. Meals was delicious services good location very good open peacefull. Thumbs up
I had a chance to go to 1969 and time goes on restaurant and what a amazing experience I had desi BBQ along with the herb mutton khari from their winter menu one word WOW simply loved it other items r also very tasty n yummy good quality with quantity do try if u guys get a chance do visit n try it also u will enjoy the lush green grass ground along with long lighted n height trees.
Location and atmosphere is amazing. Food was very average
Fantastic food.. rates are bit high but very good ambiance.
Good food good staff and service but the same ages old setup needs some improvement and innovative touch. However, as usual enjoyed reading the news items from 60s.
Pleasent environment & Quality food
1969 Restaurant is good looking in viewable area but it so costly. As in Pakistan, its common that in public places prices are so hiked and no one available to investigate them for this act. This restaurant is also one of them. On the other hand, its services, furniture/fixtures are good. Its meal taste is also commendable. You may visit with your family and friends also.
A peacful place with some delicious food and good quality.
Good food. Peaceful environment. 100% Recommended
Beautiful setting and good food. Ramazan iftar is highly recommended if you are in Islamabad. Good dessert options as well. Good for family and large groupsFavourite item: beef kebabs - fried fish fingers
Food was very gud and place is very beautiful
Very good place food is very delicious staff is friendly and place is very peaceful
Yes its delicious food but with poor service .But its good place to visit
This unique restaurant is famous for its historical ambiance. From lights to fans and windows to pictures, everything reminds the 60/70s era.Food is good but dessert options are just two or three. A bit expensive too
Good ppace for dining out with lovedones and with family
Great ambiance, friendly, efficient service. Enchanting landscaping.
My niece marriage.Wonderful envoirement nice lawns,excellent food.
Very tasty food but at high prices
The best fine dining restaurant of desi Pakistani food in Islamabad. The taste, freshness, aroma of food and the ambiance of 1969 is simply outstanding. Service offered is way above par most of the restaurants of desi food. Hats off to all the staff and management.
Visited a couple of days ago. Food was tasty and well cooked. But main attractions for the place are its traditional setting its location. Situated in woods, offers nature as its environment. Outdoor arrangements were attractive but didnt opt due to cold weather.Overall a great experience.
It has a great and peaceful lawn which you can enjoy the lovely weather along with delicious foods. You can plan your functions as well as birthdays, wedding ceromony, company meetings etc. Go and try the taste with awesome garden.
Very nice atmosphere normal taste overall a good place to spend time
Amazing ambiance and great food.
