AFghan Manthu in Islamabad

Everyone knows that when you are craving for typical desi style food in Islamabad that has a unique taste and you are looking for something that hasn't really hit your taste buds so far then you must try the traditional afghani dish that is called Afghan manthu.  One of the most loved dish by local afghan people and it didn't hold back to impress the people across borders as well. Afghan manthu is made with Meat and onion stuffed dumplings

So if you are a food lover and craving for something different yet delicious then there is nothing better than afghan mantu. The dish was originated from kabul Afghanistan 20 years back from now and quickly become the attraction for foodies. The interesting thing about the Afghan Manthu is not just its amazing taste and textures but they way it is served. First comes a large plate on which there is complete spread of yogurt containing chopped mint. The next layer consists of dumplings which is followed by another of Chakka.  Basically, chakka is a type of dessert that is made from Jack fruit. The final layer consists of Tomato sauce that usually contains red beans or other such beans etc.

So this was the introduction of the dish and now talking about where you can enjoy it in Islamabad. Talking about my personal experience, I have tried Afghan manthu from number of restaurants in Islamabad but the one I found up to the standards was at Khiva restaurant. One serving costs around Pkr- 899 and its completely worth it. So if you are a food lover and looking for some unique and delicious dish to please your taste buds, please give a try to Afghan Manthu.
