Hotel One by Pearl Continental (Fortalice Canal Guest House) Jharoka:Islamabad's appetite for more restaurants and fine dining is bringing in lots of international franchises and foreign cuisines to the capital. It seems one is spoilt for choice once it comes to oriental and western cuisines however think traditional and local food the capital city is deficient in that aspect. The Pearl Continental Group having pioneered into the budget chain of boutique hotels has now brought to Islamabad the authentic taste of Namak Mandi through Fortalice Jharoka. This open air restaurant has a lot more to offer than the delightfully succulent, off-the-pit, tender aromatic mutton. It's ambience is its USP (Unique Selling Point). Starlit sky, lanterns alight, soft rabab music in the background, the sound of falling water and attentive service staff transport you in a temporary oasis where you are the royalty. Live barbeque adds flavor to the ambience, where the aromatic air you breathe teases and increases your appetite. While one waits for his Mutton Namkeen Karahi or “Pata Tikka” or Chicken Sajji he may choose from a wide selection of rich scented flavored sheeshas. Lounge on the traditionally colorful “manji”, or choose to sit on the deck, take a stroll along the lantern illuminated pathways or just absorb the serenity of his surroundings. The restaurant is so designed that those desirous of privacy can pull down their mirror studded thick chikk in their canopy and be enveloped in a realm of traditional decoration.
The restaurant has been operational since mid April and already has a steady fan-following especially with the many ex-pat and foreigners in Islamabad. Jharoka is not only great food but is a glimpse into the culture of the Frontier province seen through the lens of fine dining. There are a multitude of reasons why you don't want to miss this restaurant i.e. food, ambience, service, exclusivity etc. Bring your corporate dinner here, or a private bash or just that someone special for Fortalice Shanwari is your chic perspective on authentic tastes from Namak Mandi along with traditional paraphernalia.
