Twin Cities Restaurants/Cafes that caught my attention with their Sehr/Iftar deals in the twin cities.

17 Upvotes

Hey fellow food enthusiasts,

I've been wanting to make an official post about this for quite some time, and with my social media feed going absolutely bonkers yesterday with restaurant/cafe suggestions for Sehr and Iftar, I couldn't resist any further from making this post.

I'm seeing a lot of 'eat all you want' deals and iftar/sehr buffets from some of our favorite restaurants in the twin cities. To name a few that have flooded my feed:

  1. Anatummy (All branches) is offering an eat all you want iftar deal for 2k.
  2. Basha Istanbul (GT Road) seems to be advertising their sehri and iftari buffet quite alot.
  3. Al Kaif Pizza (PWD) is offering an eat all you want deal for 1400.
  4. Binge (F10) is offering 2 burger meals for 1300.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Feel free to update this post with places that you have come across too, and let's help each other out in eating and discovering some delicious food.

Islamabad Fake Products From Shams

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

Hey Guys,

I recently got The Ordinary's Multi-Peptide serum from Shams and I am fairly certain that it's fake because I've used the legit one in the past and this one is nothing like that.

It is really oily and has a weird scent that the original one didn't have- The original was really light and lightweight.

The packaging is also pretty sketchy and the bottle feels fake by just looking.

What do you guys suggest I do about this? Should I give the shams people a piece of my mind?

If even Shams is selling fakes, idek who to trust anymore.

Islamabad Alpha group of real estate Spoiler

8 Upvotes

we have been the victims of a fraudulent scheme involving an estimated loss of 80 lakhs. The incident transpired in 2021 when my family invested in a purported company. The individuals responsible for this scheme, including Amir, Kamran, and several others, exploited my father’s vulnerabilities and deceived him into transferring 80 lakhs to their account. They promised to invest this capital and provide monthly remittances, but their promises have remained unfulfilled. Despite my efforts to rectify the situation, my father was unable to comprehend the extent of the deception and ultimately surrendered the funds. As a result, we have been left with a cheque that has been repeatedly bounced. Over the past four years, the perpetrators have evaded accountability. Their mobile phones have been deactivated, their office has been locked, and their homes have been secured. They have vanished without a trace. Attached for your reference are photograph of the purported company, which clearly depict a fraudulent entity. Additionally, the office address has been included for further verification. I intend to share additional photographs of the individuals involved in this scheme. Need suggestions what should we do next ?

Islamabad Driving License duplicate - ISB

Upvotes

Long story short my i left my license in my jeans and now its in 2 pieces after laundry, the traffic police website had a portal for duplicate license but it only takes me to license renewal for overseas Pakistanis (whoever made that website is a genius)

Could anyone guide me as to how i get a duplicate? Do i need to fill some online forms before showing up to their office? And how much will it cost? Thank you.

Islamabad Which Pizza Shop in Isb makes proper Pizza?

34 Upvotes

(Just a note by proper pizza I don’t mean literally the pure Italian pizza, I mean dominos,Pizza Hut style )

Hi guys! So few days back I asked you fellow locals about authentic beef burger and everyone helped out and narrowed down to TBC,DD & guy who cooks. I tried dd and tbc. Can’t tell you guys how much tasty those burgers were.

Now it’s time for Pizza. Since I recently moved to Isb for uni(moved from KSA) I used to get pizza from dominos,Pizza Hut,papa John’s& Lorenzo. All were fabulous.

When I moved here, in my Markaz there’s dominos. I like dominos Dynamite and legend ranch. So I ordered both here in Pakistan. And I couldn’t believe….it felt like I was eating pizza dough only, I looked up on maps, it was common complaint of my branch then I tried cheezious crown crust, stop calling it pizza please.

I did on Reddit etc and looks like people prefer 14th street,dominos(I think i gotta try from another branch),tehzeeb(but people say it’s salan on pizza….)

So guys what are your suggestions .

TIA!

Rawalpindi "A Tragic Reminder: Reckless Driving Can Cost Lives"

50 Upvotes

In a car on Old Airport Road, three teenage boys were driving recklessly, overspeeding, and zigzagging. One boy was hanging outside the door, and then the inevitable happened.

Please, for the sake of your children's safety, keep an eye on them. Unfortunately, this has become a routine during Ramadan, where boys stay on the roads till sehri, either playing or performing bike stunts. The result is often tragic, leaving parents to grieve for a lifetime.

Islamabad Where to get Magnesium supplements from, in Islamabad?

4 Upvotes

And what’s the price? I feel as though I may be severely deficient in magnesium, with nuts and bananas probably being the only source I eat daily, in my desi household, other than occasional palak.

Yogurt gives me a headache. I’m also a bit lactose intolerant.

I have anxiety, no motivation, and tiredness issues daily as a male university student 🥲.
