Peshawar is an ancient city located in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. This city is rich with different types of local food as I will talk about that in another post but this post is focused on getting a very premium buffet experience in such an ancient city of Pakistan. I have traveled to other countries and domestically to other cities too but I couldn’t find something of this level.
I’ll talk about a local restaurant with the name of “Shiraz Ronaq” that delivers an experience that’s beyond what you will get in a typical buffet somewhere else. It’s not a sponsored post but my own personal view about the food and experience you get in Peshawar. These guys just haven’t put some different types of food together to call it a day but they have done an amazing job by getting together most types of Pakistani cuisine and going international they add further. This is why I call it the Ultimate Buffet Experience.
The food categories are:
- Salads
- Soups
- Pakistani cuisine
- Local Peshawari
- Chinese
- Live BBQ (beef, chicken, etc)
- Sea Food
- Deserts
- and more!!!
The moment you enter the place where all the food is, you are greeted with two sides.
On the left side, you have deserts and on the right side, you have your sauces + soups. Normally we start with the right side and there are the salads too.
Salads:
Salads are an integral part of every meal. It won’t be a good meal without adding salads to it. Here were are presented with 8 different types of them in the buffet:
You can see there are different types of vegetable and fruit salads. This really tastes good and delicious once you get to experience it in real.
Live BBQ:
Now, this is the part where the whole experience gets on a new level. Live BBQ is not something common that you get to see in every restaurant. It is something rare when they do it the right way.
The chef cooks everything right in front of you and you can get freshly cooked any type of BBQ item with a delicious taste. I’ll add a photo of what I normally get from this Live BBQ section:
In the Live BBQ section, I mostly see the following items:
- Grilled Fish
- 4 - 5 different types of Chicken
- Grounded Beef Kebaps ( 2 - 3 types )
- Beef Tikka Skewers
These are always tasty and popping hot. The taste is always consistent so you will get to experience the same taste every time you visit.
Pakistani Cuisine and others:
Apart from BBQ, there is a huge number of food items that are from Pakistani and international cuisine. The list as below:
- Rice (briyani, pulaw, fried & fish)
- Fish (finger fish, chilli dry and a few more)
- Vegetables
- Chinese (chowmein, beef/chicken chilli dry, etc)
- Pastas
- Roast (quail, chicken, mutton, etc)
I wouldn’t be able to name them all as the list goes on but I will add a few photos to give you a glimpse of what I am talking about:
Dessert:
At last, you will be surprised to know that you have a huge variety of desserts that are cakes, sweets, and other Pakistani desserts. I won’t be able to name all of them because of the obvious reason which you will see how many they are in the photos below.
My closing lines would be that it is a very unique experience that you can get to see such different types of food in a single place with such premium quality and taste. I regularly visit this place and I would highly recommend if you are in Peshawar for some reason, visit this place and experience it in real.
