Greetings dear friends I hope you are all doing well and spending your time in peace and happiness Today I am going to share with you something very special – a place which is very close to the hearts of students of International Islamic University Islamabad Yes I am talking about the Anaaj Café the well known food spot located in the Male Campus of IIUI

A Glimpse of History

Anaaj Café was established back in 2008 Since then this café has been serving the students and visitors of the university Though no official historical record is available every student of IIUI is aware that this café has become more than just a food point – it is a part of their university life a place where countless memories are created every single day


Dedicated Staff and Management

One of the reasons behind the success of Anaaj Café is its dedicated staff Around 20 employees are working here with complete sincerity

  • 2 members manage the main counter
  • 2 persons handle the tuck shop
  • 4 tea makers prepare endless cups of tea for students
  • 3 cooks serve curries and snacks
  • 4 waiters provide service to customers
  • 2 persons prepare naan roti
  • 1 person makes juices
  • The rest prepare samosas rolls and other items

This proper division of responsibilities makes the service quick and smooth even at rush hours when hundreds of students are present


Environment and Facilities

Anaaj Café is a place where hundreds of students gather every day Though there is no indoor section the outdoor sitting arrangements are well maintained

  • Clean water is always available
  • Cleanliness is given special importance
  • Seating capacity for around 100 people at a time
  • A small mosque is also present accommodating 10–15 people – which is a rare and admirable facility for any café

The café is not just a food point it has become a social spot where students friends and even teachers gather to relax eat and discuss ideas


I CAPTURED SOME PICTURES FOR EXPLORING THIS AMAZING CAFFE


Logo and Lighting

CAFFE LOGO

The very first sight that greets visitors at Anaaj Café is its graceful logo shining under a carefully designed lighting system By day it is bold and clear a symbol of recognition and pride But as night falls the glowing lights wrap it in a magIcal aura like stars scattered across the sky Students returnIng weary from long classes often pause here for a moment letting the beauty of the glowIng sign ease their hearts It is not just a piece of branding It Is a beacon of welcome a silent InvItatIon to step in and find comfort within


Tea Hut

TEA AREA

Tea is the soul of Pakistani culture and at Anaaj Café it holds a very special place A small hut crafted in the shape of a rustic village shack serves as the tea corner The aroma of boiling tea mixed with the smoky fragrance of wood fills the air with warmth Here students gather not only to sip tea but to laugh talk and weave memories that last a lifetime In this little hut friendships are born hearts are lightened and the taste of tea becomes inseparable from the joy of companionship


Curry and Snacks Corner

CIRRY AND SNAKS CORNER
The most vibrant corner of the café Is the stall where curries samosas and rolls are served At lunchtime when classes end the place comes alIve with long queues of hungry students The sizzling sound of frying samosas the rIch aroma of spIcy curries and the tempting sight of golden rolls make thIs corner Irresistible It is not merely a place to eat but an experience that touches the senses Every bite here carries a story of warmth comfort and joy turning a simple meal into a cherished memory

Naan Shop

NAAN HOUSE

No meal is complete without bread and Anaaj Café takes this truth seriously The naan shop here is renowned for its soft fragrant and freshly baked naan straight from the tandoor The naan makers stand bravely before the blazing fire turning the dough into warm rounds of perfection These naans are so delightful that even without curry they can be savored with pleasure Students often remark that nowhere in the entire university can one find bread as good as at Anaaj Café Each bite reflects the unseen labor and skill of those who shape this daily blessing


Tuck Shop

TUCK SHOP
For students living a fast paced life the tuck shop of Anaaj Café is a gift Stocked with everything from snacks biscuits and cold drinks to stationery notebooks and pens it is a little hub of convenience If a student forgets a pen or craves a packet of chips between classes the tuck shop provides the answer But more than a shop it is a place of ease and relief where every small need is acknowledged and fulfilled Its presence reminds one that comfort is often found in the smallest of provisions

Masjid

MASJID
What sets Anaaj Café apart from countless other cafés is the presence of a small masjid within Its boundary Though modest In sIze accommodating barely ten to fifteen worshippers at a time It radIates an aura of peace and spirituality When the call to prayer echoes students pause theIr meals and gather here bowing together in worshIp This little mosque Is a gentle reminder that faith and daily lIfe walk hand in hand It elevates the café from being just a place of food to a sanctuary of both body and soul

Sitting Area

No café feels complete without a proper sitting space and Anaaj Café excels here too With arrangements for nearly a hundred people its open air seating is always alive with chatter laughter and the clinking of cups Wooden and cement benches placed under the open sky provide comfort as students sit in groups sharing meals and stories It is a place where strangers become friends and friends become family Every table holds a tale every bench keeps a memory This sitting area is not just about eating it is about belonging

Lawn Area

Perhaps the most charming feature of Anaaj Café is its lawn With its green grass and neatly arranged cement chairs and tables it creates a refreshing oasis amidst the busy university The singing of birds the whisper of evening breezes and the gentle glow of the sunset combine to make the lawn a place of serenity Students often sit here not only to eat but to study or simply to reflect In this natural setting time seems to slow down and the heart finds a quiet joy

Teachers’ Sitting Area

TEACHER SATTING AREA
Respect for teachers has been beautifully honored at Anaaj Café through a separate sitting space reserved for them Here the atmosphere is calm refined and slightly apart from the bustling crowd Teachers can enjoy their meals in peace yet often choose to sit with their students bridging the distance between them This space symbolizes the bond of knowledge and respect a reminder that learning continues even outside the classroom It is a corner of dignity and warmth where wisdom and youth meet over shared meals

Menu of Anaaj Café

The menu of Anaaj Café is like a bridge between tradition and modern taste It carries the flavor of homely curries and the charm of fast food at the same time For students who live away from their families this menu feels like a comforting hand on the shoulder because it offers both the warmth of desi meals and the excitement of popular snacks

At the fast food corner one finds burgers zingers rolls and sandwiches prepared with care The bread is always fresh the fillings are seasoned with just the right amount of spices and the crispy fries served alongside bring a joyful energy to every plate A simple burger here becomes more than food it turns into a companion for study breaks and long conversations shared between friends The zinger roll with its crunchy coating and spicy flavor is often praised as the king of the tuck shop a treat that students reward themselves with after exhausting classes

On the other side of the menu lies the heart of Anaaj Café the desi dishes Here are the curries dals and vegetables cooked in the aroma of local spices Each dish has a story to tell of kitchens back home where mothers and sisters prepare food with love The café staff work tirelessly to capture the same feeling in their cooking so that every bite fills the soul with comfort Whether it is the thick and flavorful chana daal or the spicy chicken curry each dish holds the taste of home reminding students of their roots even while they live far from them

The naan shop adds its own unique fragrance to the menu making the meals complete Freshly baked naan and roti straight from the tandoor arrive hot soft and slightly smoky No matter which curry is chosen the naan turns it into a fulfilling experience Students often gather around waiting for their share of steaming hot bread enjoying the simple beauty of this daily ritual

The prices of the menu are designed with care to remain affordable for students Every rupee spent feels worthwhile because the portions are generous and the quality remains consistent For the Steemit readers a conversion into steem value makes it easy to see how economical these meals are compared to other outlets in the city
