On Spot @ Des Perdes (Saddar)

It is very rare that I go to the uglier (read broken streets, too much traffic, too much pollution) of the Twin Cities for anything except a movie. But when the majority of guests had to come from Rawalpindi, we decided it was best for us to drive there instead of all of them to have to drive out to Islamabad. Plus it was a treat from another family - so free food anywhere is good. lol

Des Pardes is probably the only place in Islamabad where I would go willingly to eat desi food. And it never disappoints. The naans were fresh, the kebabs were juicy and the atmosphere was very comfortable. The only thing Des Pardes needs to lose is their blue plates. Blue crockery dissipates hunger because the color doesn't go well with a lot of the natural food colors out there, especially when it comes to desi foods with their haldi yellow and all. Restaurants should always go for white plates and red table clothes or a vibrant red somewhere in the setting as it triggers hunger and the customers are bound to eat more.

Apart from the blue plates, Des Pardes is a must for those desi-mood nights!
