About Islamabad Guide

Islamabad Guide is written and edited by Bilal Rana, a software developer based in Islamabad. The site covers the city — restaurants, cafes, and (over time) other local categories — starting with food. Every guide is based on first-hand visits, prices checked against official menus, and ratings verified on Google Maps — never paid placements or sponsored rankings. Islamabad Guide is an independent publication with no affiliation to the businesses it covers.

Who writes Islamabad Guide?

Islamabad Guide is run by Bilal Rana, a software developer who builds and maintains the site end-to-end — research, visits, writing, and the code the site runs on. The site started as a focused, single-vertical project covering food in Islamabad, with the goal of publishing the kind of honest, detailed local guide a resident would actually want to read before deciding where to eat. Other Islamabad categories will be added over time using the same first-hand approach.

What is Islamabad Guide's editorial policy?

Every venue listed in an Islamabad Guide guide has been visited or independently verified by the editor. Prices are checked against official menus and delivery-app listings; ratings and review counts are pulled directly from Google Maps and refreshed periodically (each guide shows a "last updated" date). Islamabad Guide does not accept payment, free meals, or other consideration in exchange for inclusion or placement in any guide. If a venue closes, changes hands, or its prices move significantly, we update the relevant guide rather than leave it stale.
