This closed due to COVID. I dont know why though they have a nice rooftop.
The names changed.. But the Spot is important. Whatever they call it.
A nice place to hangout with friends and colleagues but personally not recommended for families. It has an outdoor sitting arrangement accommodating about 100 people at a time, a guess though. At night time it is alive and has a nice ambience. Looks like a dating spot sometimes. It offers variety of teas, coffee, parathas and snacks at a higher price than similar places in the nearby surroundings of Jinnah super market. Taste is good though but I dont like the over pricing; when one visits in evening or late hours of the day, it takes some time to get the seats because of a lot of people already waiting for their turns.
I tried the Multani drink along with Chikachino special burger. It was amazing. Highly recommended!
Like many others, this shop also came up with a traditional style of serving tea, in those transparent glasses. The retro style is, what attracts the current generation. Each one of us enjoyed 2 teas in one sitting, the taste was great! Outside seating area is quite ordinary yet classy, heaters are also placed according to the need of customers in winters. Recommended for tea chaps! I totally enjoyed the visit.
Best sport for karak chai, snacks and hangout
A good point of hang out these days in Islamabad F7 with a variety of snacks, live music and lightening ambiance. This place is usually full of visitors who come up for a cup of tea. The best thing about them is their ambiance and the angheithi they brought up in cold days to warm up the cold winter nights
A nice hideaway for our late night cravings. Sometimes you also get to enjoy live music there.
This is the restaurant i prefer to visit all the time because of its staff. I love the atmosphere, the staff and their service. My order was late and I asked the lady named ayesha that my order was late can you plz check she visited kitchen for me and bring my order by herself. She is the true represention of chikachino. I must say the value of chikachino is doubled with the presence of Ayesha.
Hi admin. I am a furniture manufacturer from Faizabad. Rawalpindi.I made Chikachinos owner Dr. Aamir Rashids office in F-7 before Eid ul adha.Since then after work completion he is neither paying nor receiving any calls. Due amount is 4lacs. Nor his staff is receiving calls. Need suggestions from members how to recover this amount. I want to avoid any litigation because i have no experience of police court etc.
They old location of chikichino was very nice sitting outside was very attractive but now they have inside sitting arrangements which I dont like
It isnt at that place the map is showing wrong/old location
Always saw a crowd next to Standard Chartered in F7 Islamabad, decided to give it a try and it was indeed a very good experience. First of all being a tea lover I found their tea as one of the best ones in Islamabad, right quantity of milk and tea (properly cooked) neither too strong nor too light. It is a nice place for a quick bite, the order takes 15-20 minutes (if you order anything else than tea - you can order only tea as well). Their papri chat was so nutritious and fresh, spices level was normal (you can add additional masala as per your taste), the sauces (chutni) are mouth watering (red one is too spicy though but yummmy ;) )) prices are also ok, i tried to take photos of menu (hope its visible), seating is only outdoor therefore must bring some warm upper/sweater etc as it gets cold in the evening nowadays. This place is most crowded on weekends and evenings. Parking can be an issue at times.
Located in heart of Islamabad, Chikachino brings the ultimate tea experience ever! With the highlights of traditional Pakistani street food and flavour. Its breakfast special includes the flavors of Pakistan. Names of cities are being represented by dishes. Faisalabad cuisine, Islamabad and so on.Chikachino TimingsSunday 8 am to 12 amMonday to Thursday 10 am to 2 amFriday Saturday 10 am to 3 am
The new place has better seating and especially the roof top on a winter morning was divine. Strong sunlight and cool view of margalla.The tea was chikachino tea and it comes with and without sugar (although the menu doesnt specify its with sugar; so real tea lovers can tell waiters to bring it without the sugar). The eatries were so so, the samosa plater had 5 samosas, I would recommend just get the cheese ones, rest were meh. The main complain was about the abundance of oil in everything, they should make better effort to drain the stuff. Overall cool place to hang with good tea, but overpriced in my opinion.
If you want to enjoy dhaba food yet want to be at asthetically fine place then dont forget to visit Chikachino. Serving the food street with the local flyer of each city the dish belongs to. Their Chaaye and jalaibees are highly recommended. Samosa Channa chat should also be in your list. A must visit modernized dhaba to spend quality time with your friends and family.
Always a wonderful experience. The outdoor sitting adds to it!
Lovely place to have lunch or dinner
Cool place nice tea... service need some improvements
This place is incredibly mediocre.Really pretty, great service but the food is really bad. Its really bland and flavourless and I dont think Ill ever go back.I also had the karak chai. It had no karak and was just sweet.
This place was recommended to me by a friend during my short visit to Islamabad. And for the love of the tea I visited it around 11 PM Friday Night. And man What an ambience Groups of youngsters having fun. I sat in outdoor sitting... A young band was playing live music. And with a chilly breeze blowing the atmosphere was really something else. I ordered fries and chikachino special tea. Both were good. Just the size of cup was a bit small (Im a Teaholic obviously) so I ordered another one Bill was around 750 Rs. But the place is must visit. It reminded me of Cafe Hardrock in Baku and Phuket
This place is for the tea enthusiast ️Chikachino is not coming slow, you can use their Business class washroom too
4 stars for ambiance. Singers singing in the background are a bit loud.4.5 stars for food, chayai and lassi. Really enjoyed the beef burger. Light and tasty.4 stars for service.3 stars for parking. The place is quite busy. Parking problem needs to be fixed for the surrounding area.Overall 4 score. It’s a fun place and yes I would go there again for a quick bite.
Good quality, nice service and specially that music,live music night.
Visited it many times at different timings. The tea ia good but a bit costly comparative to other competitors in the market but affordable keeping in view the location of the cafe.Their chart is no doubt tasty and delicious.Pictures are attached for smosas and the chart. Smosas were good too.
Worst experience. Everything about it was not good. The tea was so expensive and yet so trashy. I only went there for tea, and had it been okay, Id have been more than happy to pay those bucks for it
Great experience food was good and environment and music was awsome...
Nice place to eat but they are slightly expensive
Nice place for gup shup and dine in Jinnah Super Market. Dont try their BBQ as it was not tasty served cold.
This place has a vibe on its own... i can just sit here with your frnds and chill... the food is good... the tea was fantastic
Love this place,late night music with great tea bbq n alot and all of above atmosphere.
On of the best chye spot in Islamabad and Rawalpindi with many items to eat specially parathas. Awesome ambiance, extreamly delecious food, highly cooperative staff, friendly administration, although sitting is outdoor but its very well maintained. Just loved this place. Highly recommended!!!Cheers Team Chikachino
I love their colors, chai and environment.Staff is too nice, specially their top sitting area is beautiful.Favorite place of my squad
I specially came there to eat jalaibees but this time they were not fresh nd tasty. Nd the tea cups are too small as compare to the price. Overly priced things but the decor is good.
We have always yearned to dine in there. Finally we did it, and it was worth visiting.
Much expensive then taste
This place gave me and my cousin a very bad stomach bug with nausea, diarrhoea and Vomiting all night. Please avoid at all costs.We ordered and shared the 1)chickachino Tea 2) Pakoray and 3) Shahi Tukra
If you want to enjoy an electrifying environment in otherwise sober city, this is the place to visit.
A very good place to sit late night in Islamabad.Food is very good, hot served and quality was good. Staff is very cooperative. Rates are slightly high but one can spend a bit more for good ambiance and food.Pakoras are a must to taste :)Good time spent
Fantastic Envoirnment Must Visit Place!
The Chat platter, bund kabab and Jalebi is simply awesome
When it comes to Chicken Burgers Chikachino is the best so far i came across. Their burgers are top class, i would say if they bring kfc zinger here they will outclass it every where. They have some stores in leeds and Bradford, All with 5 star hygiene ratings.Food is truly amazing here and very tasty. I wish they open one in Liverpool.Highly recommend.
A nice place to be at, colourful theme, roof top as well and music going on. Along with the cooperating staff and gooddd food.
A very neat hangout spot. A bit too loud though.
Good place if you arent sure where to go. The chai is always good
It was an amazing experience great taste and amazing ambiance and quality of foodHighly recommended to try
Best place to hang out in late hours . Best trained staff and taste .Live music , song dedication .Good parking space and sitting capacity around
Loved the ambiance, the chai and the God sent blessings in the form of Moez Ud Din Mohmand and 360!
Best place for chit chat and tea as well.
Good for Casual sitting and food both 8/10
A good place with Live music
This is a fun spot. On certain evenings they have live singer which adds to the enjoyment. Both Pakistani and Indian Bollywood songs are sung. The menu offers a wide selection of snacks and hot and cold beverages. Our top choice was hot jalebis and chai. The jalebis were crisp and sweet as they should be. The chai was excellent with only one complaint - it was not hot enough. That’s the reason I held back half a star. The service is fast but not friendly. That’s the reason I held back another half a star. It is a busy place and quite popular. Photo shows jalebis and chai.
The best place to have Famous food streets from Pakistan big cities at one place. From Tea to Smaosa chaat. They served them in their original desi taste. Wheelchair accessible place. Advance reservation is recommended.
The place is just over hyped!! the ambiance is good but just too over priced!! it costed us 1350 rupees for just 6 cups of tea!! the serving is also very small. Islamabad has much better places if you want to have tea.
Nice food but prices are high.Sitting is not comfortable steel chairs.The best thing is music and selection of songs.
So when I first found about this place in a dead city like Islamabad thats open late night, I was overjoyed. I went there for the first time and... was in denial. Its good... its good... I kept telling myself . Its nice place to hangout with friends , family and colleagues
A lively and a lovely place. You can enjoy each and every evening in any seasons there.
Been so many places bt this one is good too. Nice place and luckily I enjoyed weather as wellTasty pizza paratha bt saffron tea was not that hot. Not happy wd tea
My favorite late night tea place
3 stars for the food. Minus 1 for the prices. 300 for an anda shami lol. 400 for 2 pieces of ras malai. Come on. But i guess it allows them to maintain an elite(ish) clientele? Who knows. The hype is not worth it really. They can try all they want to emulate karachis dhaba culture but honestly people matter a lot. Not just the crowd but the service personnel have so much attitude that you wont find me going there again. Typical problem with most eateries in isb. Lavish launch and well placed clients who are guaranteed to give business a boost so who cares about anything else. Khair best of luck. When in Rome, right?
This place is awesome to sit and have a cup of tea with light background music and loads of gossips with friends. Nice place
A very nice place along with the roadside to have a good cup of tea and snacks near Jinnah Super Market Islamabad.
Zafrani Chai, balai paratha... First impression was hmmm good. Looked nice. Tasted awesome, bit pricey. Some improvements should be made like quality of menu card, disposable spoons, crockery should be improved as they are charging premium prices. Rs.149/- for a cup(they used Peshawari kehwa glass) of tea is not ordinary price. Balai paratha costed Rs. 269/- taste was awesome, crispy, glazy . Overall good experience.
Open air fun with music and karaoke and good chilling with friends and family. I have tried the tea. It good. Not to extra ordinary. The shikanji had too much mint leaves other wise taste was good. The sugar cane juice ( ganay ka russ) not good, maybe I ran across a bad sugar cane.
Good place to hangout in Islamabad.Service is excellent. Staff has always smile on their faces. Lighting in sitting are is fantastic.More days of week singers are there. Live singing make time more beautiful.Food is good quality. Prices are also reasonable.
Tea & Munching stuff is awesome!
Overall a reasonable experience, sitting is outdoors so the experience is weather dependent.
Nice place to sit and have fun... but its always crowdy...
Good place for sajji and rice
Really love my food stop at Chikachino. Heard a lot of praise about this place on social media and found it to be quite true. They have utilized the space quite well.
I am from Peshawar and i like to have perfect tea sometimes. Compare to other places i liked to have it over here. But still they have to upgrade it because the price list is much more then quality
Tea is best...... sitting arrangement not good
Nice place along with sufi Music... tea of Chikachino....
Excellent place for traditional food. Tea is exclusive
Best Tea house in town
Taste is good arrangement for winter is marginal
The best thing about Chikachino is their colourful Ambiance.Pakoras and Chai at Chikachino are highly recommended!Moreover, their staff is cooperative.
Best place for Spending time with friends
Islamabads most popular casual chai spot at the moment offering classy ambience with a mix of local, open air seating. Awfully crowded during rush hours and finding a table may take hours but is a fine spot otherwise for groups. Prices are slightly expensive in contrast to other nearby outlets.
A really good place to have a nice cup of chaye. I like their songs playlist and the overall ambience.
Good place for tea. Since new so there is wait before you get the table on weekends.
Enjoyed the chikachino tea!
Decent menu, some items are good some are lacking
I like it since the service is good, prices are extremely reasonable, not to mention it is a spectacular place for snacks. Best thing about it is that its a family as well as friends hang out place. We need more places like this in Islamabad. However, it would be extremely appreciated if they cut down the loud music, it starts giving me and my fellows a headache and is a huge turn off.
Cutee place, love their jalabi.
Ambiance is great; variety in chai is missing :( it’s 0/10 from me
Good place good environment for relaxation & good taste too
Awesome karak chai and snacks. Nice place for stepping out from the daily hustle bustle and enjoying that cup of tea with jaleebi
Nice kashmiri tea and jalebis. Although I think this place is a bit overrated. Not somewhere Id like to visit twice.
Good place for tea, coffee and desserts
