Dr. Fouad A. K.April 10, 2015Best place for breakfast, brunch and dinner in the mountain having a great view of Islamabad city. Do take your friends from abroad to this place, they are going to love the food and the scene
Syeda KazmiJanuary 29, 2016Bestest place I have visited..what an ambiance & view.. exceptional.. you can see the whole Islamabad frm the top.. their hi-tea platter is fine and economical
Saad ThahimJanuary 28, 2014Monal is the best place in isloo visited a year back with my friends food atmosphere and the place it self is awesome. Anyone going there must visit Monal at peer Sohawa
Manahil AleemMarch 21, 2015The Pakistani food / BBQ is better than the other stuff but still all their menu is great. Had the Italian platter. All platter foods are good value for money
TimmiMay 3, 2019As everybody knows, the view is breathtaking from the top, actually that’s what you pay for! The dishes we ordered, Peshawari Chapli Kabab & Hyderabadi Handi, were delicious.
Kanwal SaeedJune 14, 2013Cheese naan and bbq served on angethi - a Must Have! Tasty food, great ambience and beautiful scenery make the best combination. Visit has always been a pleasant experience! Highly Recommended!
Nadeem DurraniDecember 23, 2018Lousiest food ive ever head. Only famous for the location n views. . The dhaba they had in the past which served poori halwa nihari bbq tikka paye was the best place ever with simple seating.
Hamra BalochOctober 16, 2014Professional staff, top class food and a truly magnificent view for the diners makes it practically impossible to get tired of this place.
NomadDiplomatJuly 29, 2015Fantastic view, perhaps the restaurant with the best view, in Islamabad! Food was amazing. Open till late night, lively but well managed. A must visit.
Reja EmranMarch 13, 2015Cheese naan, BBQ platter with the 4 chutney platter, mixed naan and it's like you're in food heaven! Favorite place for Bbq in islb.- Huma TariqNovember 18, 2015Order Mix Grill to taste all the variety of bbq items...served right on a live grill!
- H IJanuary 15, 2017Go near sunset to catch daytime and nighttime views of Islamabad. Get anything BBQ, save room for the sizzling brownie!
Shayan NaveedNovember 15, 2014Absolutely beautiful scenery here. Cheese naan are amazing. Bbq platter was spectacular. Chicken karai was solo delicious.
Alyia KhanNovember 11, 2015I miss monal to much ,when I was in Pakistan islamabad .. i use to go almost every day , its true food is not good but scence place is fantastic .. for evening hang out .explore more bookcountries.com
The Pakistani platter at Rs. 399 including tax is probably the best deal in town. Portion sizes are large enough to satisfy the biggest of appetites.- Nadeem DurraniDecember 23, 2018I tried Monals new restaurant the chinese one in beverly. Thats the best ever Chinese resto ive been to in Islamabad
- Mahnoor AbidJuly 19, 2015Best view. Have chicken karahi with chapli kabab and naan. Favourite combination.
Harris MuhammadSeptember 1, 2013Great brunch ! The omlate counter lets me be creative ! Not too expensive given the quality of food & the scenery!
Salman MotaDecember 18, 2016#amazing views, #authentic food taste, service needs improvement.. #islo #monal
Osman ShaikhNovember 30, 2015The mutton karahi is good here and hot chocolate is the best in cold nights.
Mustafa AhmedDecember 5, 2014BBQ is Monal's specialty. Chicken Cheese Kebab and Kasturi Kebab are a must try!
Salman KhalidOctober 17, 2013Cheese Nan's ate a must haves, platter proves a good deal as you get lots of variety

Expect temperature to drop a few degrees. Rain will bring it down further. Not a bad idea to carry a wind breaker or light sweater when visiting this place.
Talha AbbasiJanuary 31, 2013The hilltop has something about it :) the best place to be -- when you are in Islamabad
Foqaan ShaikhJanuary 13, 2014Beautiful place to visit specially in the early morning and sunset time ...
Moe KhanMay 9, 2015The view is phenomenal, but the food is average by Pakistan standards (which means phenomenal for anywhere else).
Shaheer KhanApril 16, 2015I usually like Monal, but this time, it didn't have that zing. Also, I got food poisoning after eating, but that's not why I rated it average. It just didn't have that spark this time (Sunday brunch).
Ali NaqviAugust 23, 2015With every visit Monal disappoints even more, Sunday brunch which used to be very good is no more worth spending money on, the refill is too slow
Hina SafiDecember 25, 2013Avoid classic coffee, just the regular one with fancy froth. Not worthy & tasty at all at Rs 250
- Salman MotaDecember 18, 2016Great views of Islamabad ! Food taste authentic.. Service needs improvement though
