Quetta Commercial Caffe | I-8 Islamabad
I hope you are all enjoying good health and happiness Today I bring for you my participation in Steem Atlas Challenge XXiii - Pin Your Favorite Spot organized by @damithudaya For this challenge I have selected a place that holds a very special charm in the heart of Islamabad Its name is Quetta Commercial Caffe located in the busy lanes of I 8 Mughal Market This place is not just a café but a reflection of a cultural tradition of my country Pakistan
Location and Accessibility
Quetta Commercial Caffe is situated in I 8 Mughal Market Islamabad one of the lively and most frequently visited markets of the city The market itself is full of life from early morning till late night so this café always remains surrounded by people from all walks of life Whether you are a student a professional or a family person this café becomes an easy stop to refresh your mood and taste buds The location is central and anyone can reach here within minutes through main roads and local transport
A Glimpse of History
The tradition of Quetta cafés goes back to the land of Balochistan where tea houses have always been places of culture warmth and gathering The aroma of tea the sizzling sound of parathas on the tandoor and the conversations of people together create an unforgettable experience Although this branch in Islamabad does not carry centuries of history yet it carries the essence of Quetta tea culture The name itself reminds us of that traditional taste and hospitality which has become the pride of Quetta and now a blessing for the people of Islamabad
First Impression
When I reached the café the very first sight that welcomed me was the big signboard placed above the entrance of the café It was shining in bold letters declaring the name Quetta Commercial Caffe The board itself seemed like a gateway to a world of taste and gathering
Outdoor Environment
As I entered the open area of the café I saw rows of Tables and Chairs beautifully arranged under the open sky People were sitting there enjoying Tea Parathas and different Snacks The cool breeze added freshness to the environment and the whole place was filled with laughter and casual conversations It felt like a social corner of the cIty where people forget the rush of Life and enjoy moments of peace and taste The Beauty of such outdoor cafés is that they give a chance to sit under the Sky share stories with Friends and enjoy the simple blessings of life Indeed it is a place where Food and Friendship go hand in hand
My Food Experience
On my table I had ordered a few items which truly define the taste of this café I received one hot lachha paratha one stuffed aloo paratha and a steaming cup of chai The lachha paratha was golden crispy and layered beautifully giving a delightful crunch with every bite The aloo paratha was soft filled with seasoned potatoes and had a homely taste that brought comfort The chai was rich strong and filled with aroma It warmed my heart and soul as I enjoyed every sip The taste was authentic and the prices were also very reasonable making this café affordable for all

Behind the Scenes
One of the most beautiful sights was to see the tea master an elderly man who was passionately preparing chai on the gas stove Several mugs were placed on the fire and the boiling tea was bubbling with aroma He poured the tea into cups with skill and dedication His style showed that he has been doing this for years and this experience reflected in the taste of chai Another corner showed the paratha master working on the tandoor He handled the dough with expertise flattened it and cooked it until it became crispy and golden brown Watching him at work was like watching an artist shaping his masterpiece
