Lake View Park Islamabad is Getting an International Food Street

To enhance culinary and recreational offerings in Islamabad, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has unveiled plans to establish a vibrant new attraction: Nizami Street at Lake View Park.

Inspired by the famed Nizami food street in Baku, Azerbaijan, this exciting venture promises to be a haven for foodies and nature enthusiasts.

Nestled against the picturesque backdrop of Lake View Park’s serene waters and lush greenery, Nizami Street is set to redefine the capital’s dining and leisure scene.

Boasting a charming pedestrian layout, visitors can expect a delightful array of food stalls and restaurants serving an eclectic mix of culinary delights, reminiscent of the flavorsome offerings in Baku’s iconic Nizami Street.

The decision to green-light the project was met with enthusiasm by the CDA board, signaling a significant step forward in Islamabad’s urban development initiatives. According to CDA officials, plots within the market area will be leased out to individuals keen on contributing to this culinary destination.

These lessees will be tasked with establishing shops and food stalls, adhering to environmentally friendly design principles outlined by the CDA.

Emphasizing sustainability and harmony with nature, the envisioned structures will be carefully crafted to minimize environmental impact while maximizing the enjoyment of the surrounding natural beauty.

With meticulous attention to detail, the CDA aims to ensure that Nizami Street seamlessly integrates into its scenic surroundings, offering visitors a one-of-a-kind experience that celebrates both culture and nature.


  • There is enough trash and dirt already due to lake view park itself… This project will only add fuel to the fire. We need a strict no littering policy and special task force to fine the illiterate people there who spread trash. You are going to give them more space and more liberty to throw trash

  • Good step indeed. But I have observed over the years that such projects start with great verve and zeal but somehow lose their hue and colour soon due to the lack of care and attention by the ones sitting at the helm of affairs. I hope, this project doesn’t go down the same fate either.

  • میری ایک وزٹ کی یاد گار وہاں پر موجود مچھروں کی فوجیں تھی امید ہے اس پر انتظامیہ قابو کر لے گی۔
    بصورت دیگر نہ کوئی شیف ذندہ بچے گا اور نہ کوئی وزیٹر۔بہت ہی ہائی فائی لائٹوں کا بندو بست بھی ضروری ہو گا وگرنہ تو ایک بھوتوں کی وادی ہے

  • It’s a great idea but such ideas die out with time. It should be governed by a small committee that should have policies in place for running the establishment. Waste management should be a priority. Cuisine should be selected by a culinary Committee and its presentation be governed by the same. We need to up our game now instead of just announcing such projects and then never looking back at them. It will eventually be inhabited by pakora and samosa karts or cotton candy and psparh vendors. Pls look into it and make it for a limited time period of 3 months and then extending it in another country’s culinary delight or theme. But otherwise a good initistive:)
