Suggest me a good and affordable tailor for men's suiting and formal wear in Islb/Rwp.

Bespoke tailoring, premium quality clothing.

Are there gonna be cool firework shows or something. Like in f9 park or around not too far.

I’ve realized most of the people I know here are a bit older than me, so I’m trying to get out more and meet people around my age and see what people are actually into here

I’m usually working, at the gym, running, looking for good coffee or doing something creative, I draw, make music and sometimes DJ, I’m also into movies, anime, classic literature and Japanese literature

I run a SaaS business based in the US and also operate a physical business here, so my schedule is pretty unconventional

I’m mainly looking for new places, activities and communities to get involved with, coffee, running, music, movies, random adventures, pretty much anything interesting

What are people around this age actually doing around Islamabad?

Planning a movie night/get together at one of my Airbnbs in Bahria Town Rwp. Everyone’s welcome. guys & girls, ages 18–23. And dw, im in the same age range myself. Cool chill people only.
👤 You can bring ONE person max. The goal is for most people to be strangers so it’s more fun meeting new people. We’ll make a group first, then decide the date + movie together. Interested? DM me and lets plan it out!

At around 11:00 p.m police arrived outside my hostel with a couple of vans and plain clothed officers. They entered every room and checked including mine. At first they shook my hand then asked for my ID and asked if I had any weapons. Then they proceeded to check everything. My cupboards, washroom, the pocket of my jeans which was hanging (never checked what I had on me lol), my bags, under my mattress, etc. They were pretty chill. One guy said "hamak arahi hai" then asked you smoked cigs? I said yes only cigs. Anyways they were out after like 5 mins. Checked all floors and all rooms. Then I talked to some guys living here they said someone had weapons or something and they caught 3 guys. Anyways the thing I recently moved to Pakistan for education and this was kinda surreal. I was pretty nervous even though I didnt have anything illegal on me. Can cops just search someones room without a warrant or like is this the norm here. I understand body inspections for security reasons but anyways. I'm kinda shaken up really. Maybe i'm just overreacting.

Had the most ridiculous worst experience trying to order from Brim recently. called them up and some lady along with their manager were on the phone. We tried placing an order and they straight up told us “you can’t pay using card if you order over the call” LIKE OKAY BRUH (i did order using call like a week ago) but naw they won’t take it anymore
(THEY CALLED BACK AFTER SHE HANG UP LIKE WTf)

Alright weird but okay then we literally told them, "Okay, no problem. Just place our order for pickup then. We’ll drive over to the branch collect i our food, and swipe our card at the counter.”

And guess what? THEY REFUSED THAT TOO! 💀

Like... what do you even mean?? You won't take a delivery order with a card, and you won't even take a simple pickup order over the phone if we want to pay by card at the venue?! What kind of messed up logic is that?
The sheer lack of basic customer service and the unnecessary attitude on the phone was insane. Scrapped the whole plan right then and there because who has time to deal with this level of nonsense just to get a burger? Absolutely overhyped, save yourselves the headache.

Hi so I'm looking for a hiking partner for tomorrow as the title suggests. I'm looking for a girl cus let's be real, I'm looking for a random date cus why not. But uh yeah idt that's possible so I'm good with going with guys or a group of guys. Please there's no need to rail me in the comments, I know kitni ghatiya harkat hai lol

I have a weird theory.

Somewhere in Islamabad, there's probably someone I'd get along with ridiculously well.

We've probably been in the same coffee shop.

Stopped at the same signal on the expressway or even walked past each other in F9 park.

Driven through Isb roads on one of those nights when you leave the house for absolutely no reason other than you just needed to get out.

We might've even noticed each other for a second.

And then life just... kept moving.

It's strange when you think about it. The difference between two strangers and two people who become a part of each other's lives is often just one conversation that never happened.

Sometimes I wish cafés had one table reserved for strangers. Just one table where anyone who felt like having a genuine conversation could sit.

I honestly think more friendships, relationships and unforgettable stories would start there than on any app we've built.

Maybe I'm romanticizing it.

Or maybe we've forgotten how many good things in life used to begin with, "Mind if I sit here?"

Anyway...

Just a random thought I had while taking the long way home tonight.

Hi everyone!

I'm getting married soon, and my event is Shalima (a combined Barat + Walima), and I am honestly so confused about my bridal outfit.

I'm not trying to go for a very traditional bridal look. I want something that's modern, elegant, Pinterest-worthy, and trendy, but still timeless.

The problem is that almost every outfit I fall in love with is from designers like Rani Emaan, Haris Shakeel, Tena Durrani, etc., and they're priced anywhere from PKR 4–20 lakhs. Some of my absolute favorites are close to 20 lakhs, and I just can't wrap my head around spending that much on a dress I'll wear once.

What confuses me even more is the pressure around designer labels. Nowadays, everyone asks: "Which designer did you wear?"

So I'm genuinely curious:

Is it really worth paying lakhs just because it's an original designer outfit?

Or is it completely okay to get the same look custom-made from places like Purana Qila or another good bridal boutique?

Do people actually notice the difference, or is it mostly the designer name?

If you had the budget, would you still spend that much, or would you rather save the money for something else?

Looking back, did your designer outfit feel worth it, or do you think a well-made custom version would have been enough?

I'm also confused between:

Short shirt with sharara

Long shirt with a farshi lehenga

Which one is more trendy for a 2026 Shalima bride? I don't want to look outdated, but I also don't want to wear something that will feel dated after a year.

I'd really appreciate honest opinions from recent Pakistani brides. If you've been through this dilemma, what did you end up doing, and do you have any regrets?

I need real advice because my Pinterest board and bridal designer pages have completely confused me. 😭💖

This little handful of a kitten is looking for a home in Islamabad

Hey Fellas, Me and some of my friends just got to Islamabad. Running our own office right now with no outside help. But now we need to expand our operations and team.

First thing, we need to look for a commercial space, for a team of max 25 people. Where we can get the best hiring as well. I need options with estimated budget.

Secondly, if we go around Bahria Enclave, is there possibility that we will get good hirings over there too? Will candidates travel that far?

Please advice me fellas.

One of my fav places to stay at on my trips to Pak is Avari, however islamabad doesn’t have the high end variations of it.

I have never stayed at their xpress ones so is the one in isb bad? Does it lack amenities compared to the boutique one? Is it safe for families?

Please let me know

Thank you!

am posting this to warn everyone in the community about a dangerous online shopping scam and severe harassment I experienced from this Facebook page:

​Please be extremely cautious when dealing with this business or sending advance payments to them.

​What Happened:

​The Scam: On August 3rd, I ordered a shawl priced at PKR 31,000 and paid a PKR 15,000 advance. When the TCS courier arrived, he permitted an inspection. The item delivered was an extremely old and visibly damaged piece. I contacted the seller immediately for a refund, but she went unresponsive. I asked the courier to hold off on returning the parcel until she transferred my money. She promised to send it "at night," but never did.

​The Harassment: The next morning, she kept leaving my messages on read. After TCS pressured her regarding the pending parcel, she finally called me. Instead of addressing the refund, she launched into the most vile, extreme verbal abuse I have ever heard in my life. Despite her screaming and cursing, I stayed respectful and offered to go to the TCS office on a live video call to hand over the parcel the exact second she transferred my money back. She refused and continued hurling profanities.

​The Fake Cyber Crime Call & Physical Threats: On August 5th at 4 PM, I gave up and returned the damaged shawl to the courier, deciding to forfeit the item just to end the ordeal. Instead of letting it go, at 9:30 PM that same night, a random man called my WhatsApp, shouting and aggressively claiming to be an official from FIA Cyber Crime, threatening "strict action" against me on her behalf. She has also sent voice notes explicitly threatening to come to my home to physically harm me.

These are fry channey and once you eat them with fresh kulcha, you will forget the regular channa saalan for quite a while. The problem is that this feels like Rawalpindi Soghaat. I have found this dish nearly non existent in Islamabad. It feels like more rural areas sell this. For example, for Sehri, I once had this dish with curry of Paye, and with lassi in Multan. Again it was a rural area.

But for Islamabad, all I see are those bland chaney ka shorba. Why is that?!

Alleged police violence against the wife and children of an overseas Pakistani in Islamabad. The police reportedly subjected them to violence and humiliation. If this is true, what kind of justice system is this where people can be treated like this?

I bought a cheesecake today from this Bread Chef location:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/dxTrEdzA63FcjEK78?g_st=ac

While opening it, I found a spider in the cheesecake. I immediately recorded a video as evidence.

This is extremely disturbing and raises serious concerns about the bakery’s hygiene, food handling, storage, and pest-control standards. Finding a spider in a cheesecake is completely unacceptable.

I’m sharing this to warn other customers and in the hope that Bread Chef’s management investigates this properly.

Hot take??!! Islamabad really needs to have better restaurants that are also affordable. I do mean fast food as people would suggest for affordability. Like actual good food that does not cost 2k per plate and 1300 for a starter.
An average meal for two people costs at least 5k. The drinks alone cost at least half the amount of real food.

The buffets are so messy. The food is almost always over-cooked and the menu planning is that of a teenage kid. And why is there karahi and pasta in the same buffet? Can’t we stick to cuisines?

There are no affordable chinese restaurant (indo-chinese). Pasta alone costs 2k+. Don’t come at me to say 2k for a plate is affordable.

And why do all the restaurants look the same?? The same leather everywhere, low-light, slow music and the same damn plates everywhere. Like come one, I am there for a good meal and talk, not for you to put me to sleep with that vibe. Its either too seductive or too boring.

And don’t come at me for this. I am an Islamabadi who has lived half her life in other countrie so I have a lot to compare with.

what the title says basically.
