Islamabad - Post Report Question and Answers
What kinds of organic, vegetarian and allergy-friendly foods are available, such as organic produce, gluten-free products, meat substitutes for vegetarians, etc?
Tons of restaurants and I never had a problem getting veggie food. Take note, the main way Pakistanis differentiate themselves gastronomically from Indian is the amount of beef, goat, and lamb they put in traditional South Asian dishes. But this is a service economy, and you can often get what you want, even off-menu. - Mar 2012
I don't think the vendors would know what you're talking about if you asked for "organic" stuff. - Aug 2011
Being vegetarian in Islamabad is very possible. Meat is very expensive for the locals (but very cheap for Westerners). Veg meals are offered at pretty much all places. - May 2011
