Islamabad to Get a Brand New Food Street Like Dubai and Baku Soon

Capital Development Authority (CDA) has announced its plan to construct a world-class “Capital Walk Street” in Islamabad’s Shakarparian.

This new walking street is set to become a hub for food lovers and will be modeled after popular walking streets in Dubai and Baku.

According to CDA officials, one kanal of land will be leased out to various global and national food chains after an auction. All the plots in Capital Walk Street will be reserved for food businesses only. The street will cover an area of more than 25 acres, with 50% of the space left open for visitors to enjoy.

Chairman CDA, Noor ul Amin Mengal, said that the successful bidder will be allowed to start work within one month. He added that the food street will also feature an amphitheater, play area, and cultural points for visitors to enjoy.

“The Capital Walk Street will offer a unique dining experience to the people of Islamabad. We aim to provide a safe and secure environment for visitors to enjoy delicious food and create lasting memories with their loved ones,” said Mengal.

The decision to build Capital Walk Street has been met with widespread approval from the public, who are eagerly anticipating the opening of this exciting new development.

This project is part of the government’s efforts to promote tourism in the country and provide new economic opportunities for the food industry. Capital Walk Street is expected to attract many visitors from all over the country, as well as foreign tourists.

The CDA’s decision to build this world-class food street is a step in the right direction toward making Islamabad a truly world-class city. With its beautiful surroundings and top-notch facilities, Capital Walk Street is set to become a must-visit destination for food lovers and tourists alike.


  • Excellent
    I really appreciate the idea and working style of CDA chairman if we have such administrator nothing can’t stop us from development

  • It’s worth appreciation though as a pakistani it’s very shameful to look at the poor hygiene and sanitary standards of such places…the people using these facilities, owners , staff tend to be at the best of their poor social, hygiene habits and etiquette. Plz, mengal sahib, it would be nice not to spoil the serene environment of shakarparian with throngs of hungry carnivores who would destroy the environment and greenery of this nice place…a solid commitment and hefty fines on violators would be appreciated.

  • Mengal sb appears to be a man with vision۔ Hope he stays long and brings the lost beauty and peace of the capital city back۔ We who were born and brought up here feel deeply hurt to see the plight of this unfortunate city which is mainly due to the negligence by CDA itself۔My prayers and best wishes for the chairman sahib۔ I eagerl look forward to this pile-of-garbage-like city turning into a neat and clean place once again۔ Please also control flow of people from other parts of the country which is really choking lives of people which have grown used to living in a peaceful environment۔

  • Shakarparian forest area has already been damaged by other projects. Dont take away the greenery from us. Use the arts and crafts village area, which has been lying vacant from more than 15 years.

  • There are lot many resorts and food stalls in Islamabad. The energy shld instead have been diverted to cleaning of the city , repairing streets foot paths being encroached by house owners and devising a strategy to discourage over -plying taxis , bikes in areas close to Red zone of F6 and F7 in joint collaboration with ICT police. Small vendors hv also been gone overbearing. Regards
