Al Fajar Biryani in DHA Phase 2 serves chicken biryani, smoky Tikka Koyla biryani, chicken pulao, karahi, chana chawal, chaat and pakoray, open from late morning until midnight every day. Most of its single plates feature on our under Rs 500 page. Compare it with other desi spots in our DHA Phase 2 restaurant directory, or browse more listings on South Islamabad Eats.
Al Fajar is one of the most budget-friendly desi spots in DHA Phase 2. A single plate of chicken biryani or chicken pulao is Rs 450, Tikka Koyla biryani is just Rs 20 more, and chana chawal starts at Rs 300. The best tip is to order Doubles. A Double biryani is Rs 600, only Rs 150 more than a Single, so if two people are sharing, one Double costs far less than two Singles at Rs 900.
The karahi is also very competitively priced. A half chicken karahi is Rs 1,000, the lowest half karahi price we list in the area, and a full at Rs 1,800 saves Rs 200 compared with two halves. One thing to note is that the menu we have lists no naan or roti, so pair your karahi with plain biryani rice. Sides are cheap too, with raita at Rs 50 and salad at Rs 150.
