District 6 aims to bring ‘authentic’ food to the capital
ISLAMABAD: The capital’s new fine dining restaurant, District 6, aims to bring ‘authentic’ food to the capital. It is housed across three floors, the first two offering panoramic views of the capital city while the top floor offers a view of the changing sky through its glass ceiling.
The restaurant draws its name from its location, one of the oldest sectors in Islamabad, F-6.
Diners are welcomed by a medley of colours when they enter the restaurant, with large paintings adorning the grey walls complimented by the indoor plants. The seats are royal blue, tea pink and beige, the tables are made of oak and the chandeliers are wrought iron.
The owner of the restaurant, Anum Rafat says she has tried to make the menu different from what can be found in the other restaurants across city and that she has brought in her chef from Dubai.
The menu is divided in two, a deli section and main course. The deli menu is written on a black board and is changed every now and then while the second menu is fixed.
The deli menu of the day included a spinach strawberry salad, chicken fajitas, garlic shrimp linguine and a spicy fried chicken burger.
The spinach strawberry salad came in a white bowl with baby spinach leaves, strawberry pieces, feta cheese, caramelised walnuts and onion rings with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
