Beautiful place, large lawns with great big trees, especially recommended for outdoor dining while observing social distancing. Buffalo wings were particularly good, not very spicy either.

A really nice Art Gallery and eating place for families and those who love art. Perfect outdoor as well as indoor space for eating. I liked the place. The ambiance could be improved a bit further. Food was amazing.

No doubt place is amazing, having wonderful sitting arrangements, beautiful lawn that makes your mood quite good but in the end it is a restaurant & it must serve tasty food, unfortunately it wasnt the case when i visited them last night. I ordered Seekh Kabab, Fried Fish, Chicken Karahi & Boneless Handi but each of them was lacking with Spices & they were simply tasteless. We were just enjoying the ambiance & each others company. Their service was not good as well.Update:Again went there with family. Children really enjoyed the environment but again food was not up to mark especially Seekh Kabab Fried. Staff is also not professional. Decided to not go there again.

Ambiance is good. Opened at 2 sides so too cold at evening. Lounge is cosy but weekends are too rushy to sit in there. Tried club sandwiches, really good ones.

Food quality was good and the service was courteous. The physical environment does need a lot of improvement and investment.Perhaps this may happen after the pandemic crisis.

I had no idea such a place existed in Islamabad .Amidst lush forest and open grounds stands this place,with a vast lawn good enough for grand parties.as you go in further there is an open bar b que corner.inside you have halls good for functions and parties.No wonder its so famous amongst party organisers.Not to forget you might run into some celebrities having photoshoots.

It was my first experience, it blow my mind. such a splendid location with spectacular environment. a beautiful hall, arrangements of sitting outside are outstanding. The best Among all is environment ️. Such a peaceful place, have no disturbance from outside, no noise of horn or etc like that. the out side open place contain number of flowers, trees, plants, which enhance the beauty of location.simple, I love it ️️️️️

Place is generally good with good ambience and good crowd.Food quality is worth tasting but the price is quite high, should be brought in control.Cutlery design needs improvement as the forks are difficult to handle.Waiter service also needs improvement as no good serving on table provided.Buffet arrangement was requested however many waiters were also taking the food from the buffet which shows less control of management on whatever is going around.Overall experience was definitely not bad.

Review №16

Went there few days ago for art exhibition of my friend. As this place is gallery and a restaurant theres a issue of privacy. Tables and paintings are in the same place, people dining there might feel uncomfortable with others whore there so see exhibitions or paintings

Excellent food and ambience. Me and my husband have been coming here since years now. The staff is very polite and mannered. The food has never disappointed us as most places in town. They know what they are doing ! Highly recommended.

Review №18

Tried their lunch buffet. Super expensive for what you get. Food was average at best with only one main dish (mutton korma which was a little hard to chew). Ambience was okay. They had some good paintings up the walls of the dining hall. Whole place had a rustic feel to it.

Aqs Cafe has one of the best stakes in Islamabad. It is actually old Nirvana staff and chef that are working here. Ambiance is great too. They have a very artistically decorated sitting area inside and a beautiful sitting in the court yard as well on the roof top. Would go there again.

Before visiting this place, we heard a lot about this place from many of our friends. So, we decided to give it a try and we tried their American Steak and it was worth it. Probably a bit expensive but their quality is premium too. Definitely in my favourite list and would love to visit again.

Ambience, location, setting, spaciousness, good food, event management, AQS is the place to go to. AQS is located opposite to the Rose and Jasmine Garden and next to the Arts and Craft Village. AQS provides lunch and dinner cuisines. They have open air as well indoors seating. There are two halls to eat at. There is a small theatre hall which can be hired for screening matches and managing concerts.

This was my first visit to this place as I was invited here for lunch. The food was very tasty. Fish was really outstanding. The other two barbecue items were excellent. Chicken Biryani was very well cooked. Dessert was too sweet, a little less use of sugar would have een ideal. The place needs to invest a little on cutlery, it was difficult to hold the fork, and the knife was blunt. Over all a good to spend time and enjoy food.
