The short walk
You Stay Upstairs.Dinner Is Downstairs.
This is the part guests tell us about afterwards. You check in, take the lift up, put your bag down, and everything you might want to eat that night is already in the building beneath you. No car, no rickshaw, no scrolling through delivery apps at eleven at night hoping something is still open in G-7.
Come down in slippers if you like. Tikka n Curry is on one side, Three Dragons on the terrace under the coloured umbrellas, Shinwari doing proper Peshawari karahi a few steps further. At our F-7 Markaz hotel, JC Grill sits on Jinnah Super in the same building you are sleeping in.
It is a small thing that changes a stay completely. Families with tired children do not have to go back out. Business guests who land late can eat properly instead of settling for whatever the minibar holds. And nobody has to negotiate Islamabad traffic twice in one evening.
G-7 Markaz · Desi, Chinese & Italian
Tikka n Curry
6:00 AM – 1:00 AM daily
Tikka n Curry is the kitchen our G-7 guests come down for before they have finished unpacking. The charcoal work is the heart of it, tikka and karahi cooked the way they are meant to be, rich and unhurried, alongside the curries that have kept locals returning long after the signage on the building changed.
The menu widens considerably from there. Chinese dishes are cooked to order, the Italian side runs to pasta and pizza, and the samosas and local specialities sell out most evenings well before the kitchen closes. It works as easily for a business dinner as it does for a family table on a Sunday, which is rarer in Islamabad than it should be.
Because the kitchen opens at six in the morning, breakfast for hotel guests comes from here too, and room service runs from the same kitchen through the day and late into the night.
G-7 Markaz · Chinese & Thai
Three Dragons
6:00 AM – 1:00 AM daily
Three Dragons handles the Chinese and Thai side of the building, and it is the one people photograph on their way past. The terrace under the coloured umbrellas has become something of a landmark on the G-7 Markaz strip, and on a mild Islamabad evening it is the best table in the sector.
Inside, the cooking is proper Chinese and Thai rather than the hybrid most hotels in Islamabad settle for. Dishes are made to order, the heat is real if you ask for it, and the menu is broad enough that a table of six with different tastes never has to compromise down to the safest option.
Open to hotel guests and to the public, with room service available. Walk-ins are usually fine on weeknights, but the terrace fills on Friday and Saturday evenings, so a call ahead is worth the thirty seconds.
G-7 Markaz · Peshawari
Shinwari
6:00 AM – 1:00 AM daily
Shinwari brings the Peshawari tradition into the middle of the capital. The karahi is the reason to come, cooked the way it is done properly, in its own fat with tomato and little else getting in the way, and served in the pan it was made in.
It is deliberately unfussy cooking. Charpai seating, bread straight from the tandoor, green tea afterwards. For guests staying at our G-7 Markaz hotel who want something more honest than a hotel restaurant usually offers, and for anyone in Islamabad searching for genuine Shinwari karahi without driving out to the motorway, this is the room.
Open from six in the morning until one at night, to hotel guests and the public alike, with room service available through the day.
F-7 Markaz · Grill, Desi & Continental
JC Grill
6:00 AM – 1:00 AM daily
On Jinnah Super, JC Grill carries the F-7 side of the hotel. The grill runs all evening, and the Desi plates arrive at the table the way they leave the kitchen, hot and generously portioned rather than arranged for a photograph.
Continental and Chinese options sit alongside the grill for anyone who wants something lighter, and the local specialities, samosas included, carry the reputation they have earned across F-7 Markaz. Its position in the middle of the Jinnah Super shopping strip makes it as useful for a break between errands as it is for dinner.
For anyone searching for a restaurant in F-7 Markaz Islamabad, or staying with us at the F-7 hotel and wanting dinner without crossing the city, this is where to book. Open six in the morning to one at night, with room service upstairs.
Until one in the morning
The Night Menu
Every one of our four kitchens runs a night menu. You will not go hungry at Taj Signature Hotel, whichever hour you arrive.
Most restaurants in Islamabad have shut their kitchens by eleven. Ours serve until one in the morning, seven nights a week, at both the G-7 Markaz and F-7 Markaz hotels. Whether you have landed on a delayed flight, driven down from Murree after dark, finished a wedding function late, or simply woken at midnight genuinely hungry, there is a kitchen open beneath you and a phone by the bed that reaches it.
The night menu is not a token list of sandwiches either. Each restaurant keeps its own, so you can still order a karahi from Shinwari, something from the grill at JC, Chinese from Three Dragons or tikka from Tikka n Curry long after the rest of the sector has gone quiet. Room service brings it up, or come down and eat properly at a table.

Eating With Us
Breakfast
Included with every room rate at both hotels, for every guest in the room. Service begins at six in the morning, which suits early flights out of Islamabad International and the drive north towards Murree equally well.
Room service
Available from the kitchens at each branch through the day and late into the night. If you have arrived after a long drive and would rather not come downstairs, the same menu comes up to you.
Large tables
Wedding parties, corporate dinners and extended families are regular here. Call the front desk ahead of time and we will arrange seating properly rather than pushing tables together when you arrive.
Not staying with us
All four restaurants are open to the public. You do not need to be a hotel guest to book a table, and parking is free at both buildings, with valet service available.
Reservations
Book a Table or a Room
Call either hotel directly for a table, or send your dates through WhatsApp if you need a room as well. Reception answers around the clock at both addresses.
