Cafe Funghi

Cafe Funghi is a mid-to-upper desi food restaurant in Islamabad. In short, desi food is the everyday cooking of the subcontinent — slow-cooked curries, tawa-fried meats, freshly baked roti, charcoal-grilled tikka and seekh kabab, and fragrant rice dishes. The menu currently lists 57 items, with prices ranging from Rs.198 to Rs.6,435 (taxes and service may apply). It carries a Google rating of 4.2 ★ from 136+ diners, putting it in the upper tier of desi food restaurants in Islamabad.

Pakistani desi cuisine is built on long, patient cooking with whole spices, charcoal smoke, ghee, and the open-flame BBQ tradition — eaten family-style with hot naan straight off the tandoor. Cafe Funghi fits within this tradition, serving a localised take on desi food for Islamabad diners.

What to order: based on the published menu, the most representative dishes are Arancini (Rs.1,395), Fig & Ricotta Crostini (Rs.1,755), Bruschotta (Rs.1,350), and Chicken Picatta (Rs.2,385). Prices on this page are dine-in unless otherwise noted; takeaway and delivery may carry a small surcharge.
