Saidpur Village
RestauRants/Fast Food/recreation
Saidpur is a Mughal-era village on the slopes of the Margalla Hills and located off the Hill Road to the east of Daman-e-Koh in Islamabad. The village has the footprints of various civilizations, including Gandhara, Greek, Buddhist, Mughal, Ashoka and the colonial periods, and now served as a popular recreational spot for both local and foreign visitors.
In 2006, the Capital Development Authority initiated the project of remodelling the Saidpur village aimed at providing the visitors with the glimpses of multi-cultural heritage and by giving it the look and feel of a quaint village. The key changes that have come about include the re-doing of a temple, the cleaning up of a stream running through the village and giving the mud houses a facelift. The village reflects the traditional ambience; the temple, the stones used on the walls, the stacks of hay, the horse-drawn carts and everything else depicts the history of Potohar region.
After remodeling of this village many restaurants, art galleries and antiques showrooms are also established here. What captures ones’ eye in Saidpur village, apart from the many restaurants, is the sight of three buildings standing closely together: a mandir, a church and a gurdwara.
Restaurants:
Lahore Chatkhara
Polo Lounge
Des Pardes
Andaaz Restaurant
