It was a busy Thursday evening around 7:30 PM, and a group of office colleagues and I were starving after a long week. Walk into M Sadiq Shopping Mall on Chakwal Road in Talagang, and you’ll hear it before you see it — the sizzle of a hot grill, the clatter of plates, and the low hum of families having dinner together. That’s City Restaurant and BBQ Talagang. It’s not fancy, but it doesn’t need to be. Locals come here for one reason: solid, no-nonsense food at prices that won’t make you wince — though some of my colleagues disagreed on the “prices” part.

The BBQ here is the real draw. Their chicken tikka comes off the grill with a perfect char, still juicy inside. The Crown Crust pizza is another crowd-pleaser — cheese-stuffed edges that kids fight over. While places like Al-Miraj Restaurant and Chaudhary Restaurant have their own loyal followings, City Restaurant holds its own with generous portions and a menu that covers everything from desi BBQ to fast food favorites. It’s the kind of spot where you can bring the whole family, order a mix of everything, and leave with full stomachs — though some reviews say the prices are high for the quality.

You’ll find them inside M Sadiq Shopping Mall on Chakwal Road. They’re open from 9 AM to 11 PM daily, so whether you want an early breakfast or a late dinner, they’ve got you covered. Cash only, so keep that in mind before you go — we almost got caught without cash. Below is the full menu with prices, plus some honest feedback from people who’ve eaten here.

🍖 Local Tip: This is a cash-only restaurant, so come prepared (we almost didn’t). Their happy-hour food deals are worth asking about. Parking is available at M Sadiq Shopping Mall, but it can get VERY tight during peak dinner hours (7-9 PM) — we had to park on the main road. The Crown Crust pizza and crispy wings are their must-try items.

🍽️ Office Dinner at M Sadiq Mall (Good Pizza, Bad Parking)

👑 Crown Crust Special Pizza (X-Large – Rs. 2350): Cheese-filled crust was the highlight — stretchy, gooey, and satisfying. Toppings were generous (chicken, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers). Came hot and fresh. Enough for 5 people. One colleague went back for seconds. 8.5/10.

🍗 Crispy Wings (Rs. 350): Lightly battered and fried until crunchy. Good size portion. Disappeared quickly. Great starter. 8/10.

🍔 Zinger Burger (Rs. 330): Crispy chicken fillet with lettuce and mayo. Simple but satisfying. Good value. One colleague thought it was a bit small. 7.5/10.

🍟 Loaded Fries (Large – Rs. 450): Loaded with cheese, chicken, and special sauces. Very filling. Could be a meal by itself. 8.5/10.

🍛 Chicken Shashlik Rice (Rs. 600): Tender chicken pieces in sweet and tangy shashlik sauce over fried rice. One colleague ordered this — portion was good but sauce was a bit too sweet for his taste. 7/10.

😅 The problems: Parking was a NIGHTMARE. The mall parking was full, and we had to park on the main road and walk. The ambiance is not great — no decor, average seating. One colleague thought the prices were high for the quality. The service was slow even though the place wasn’t that busy. The main dining area felt cramped.

💰 Total damage: Around Rs. 4,500 for five people. Would I go again? Yes — but only for takeaway. The dine-in experience needs improvement.

💡 Local Insider Tips (From an Office Dinner)

  • 💰 Cash only warning: No cards, no digital payments. Keep physical cash with you — we almost got caught without enough.
  • 🚗 Parking nightmare: Mall parking fills up fast during peak hours (7-9 PM). We had to park on the main road. Come early or use a rickshaw.
  • 🍕 Must-try: The Crown Crust Special Pizza. The cheese-filled edges are worth it. The Loaded Fries are also excellent.
  • 🪑 Seating tip: They have separate family cabins on the 1st floor — ask for those if you want privacy. The main dining area is cramped and has no decor.
  • 😕 Price warning: Some customers find the prices high for the quality. One colleague thought the same. Manage expectations.
  • ⏰ Best time to visit: Weekdays between 2-4 PM for a quieter experience. Evenings are crowded and service slows down.

  • 🍳 Breakfast option: They open at 9 AM — their breakfast items (omelet, chai) are popular with locals.

“This is the omelet of City Restaurant. It looks like a simple fry. Had breakfast here 2-3 times, it is quite good but can’t say the best. The hotel is quite expensive according to the quality. If the management improves it, it can become the best hotel in the city.”
— WA Malik ⭐⭐⭐
“Everything other than food was commendable. In food, they charged the highest prices I ever know for the quality and quantity served. Not recommended.”

Final Rating: 4.0 out of 5 – A popular local spot with good food variety, but the cash-only policy, terrible parking, and poor ambiance hold it back. The Crown Crust Pizza and Loaded Fries are excellent — definitely worth trying. The separate family cabins are a nice touch for privacy. But be prepared: bring cash, come early for parking, and don’t expect a fancy atmosphere. Best for takeaway or calling ahead. Would recommend for the pizza and chai, but manage your expectations on parking and ambiance.
