    The place is very nice because it has a lot of privacy for its guests by accommodating them in different cabins. Decor and ambiance is very nice. The staff is very cooperative. There is a separate spacious area to wait for your turn to dine. There is a variety of cuisine including fast food, Pakistani, Chinese with deserts. I ordered Mexican steak and it tasted very good. I would definitely recommend it.

    So this was by chance. One of my friends has invited me for an outside dinner and do you know I accepted it ๐Ÿ˜. Actually I wasn't ready. It was all by luck and by chance ๐Ÿ˜‚. But still I don't consider myself lucky man you know why BECAUSE I missed my home made mutton rosh๐Ÿ˜. Okay arguments aside. Lets give this an honest review. So my experience with Lokanta by FOODAWA was a good try. I hadn't have tried fast food in a while luckily my consumption for this place was lit. The environment, ambiance, service, and ofc price was all a good choice for us. I'd suggest to give a must try and alter ur bud.

    Its a really nice place in Peshawar for having a great family time or with friends. The decor and ambience is really great along with how everything is srt up in such a good location. However, the food is not that good as to what they represent and how they claim it. Some items were not available and not upto the par as how it is in other good places.

    This place has multiple kind of seating arrangements, you can either sit inside a cabin with your family and it will be like you are at home, there is outdoor seating as well where you can enjoy the nature because of the beautiful plants around and they also have halls to sit there. Aesthetically it's a beautiful place. The food is not so good, not bad, just average. They usually don't make you wait long and the food is served in reasonable time. They also have an open kitchen where you can see them preparing your food. Moreover there is a qahwa station as well. Overall its a good place to hangout with the family.

  • 5/5 Abdul B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was excellent. Tea was tasty. The presence of restrooms and a space to sit improved the situation as well. It's a bit of a peculiar cabin place. Lokanta be Foodawa, It's just on the edge of University Road and gets rather lonely in the evening. Which is unfortunate because I think the seating area is wonderful, especially at night. If you do decide to come later in the evening, I would advise bringing at least a few buddies. Until you become too friendly with nature, this nice-looking cafe is a terrific spot to be one with nature while enjoying a dish of heated fries and a cup of coffee. The area is pleasant to sit in, and the service is prompt. Despite everything being really nice. This location is a gift from the gods for those who favour a certain aura. It feels like you're in a safe spot in the middle of a vast forest, surrounded by bare trees and lengthy, impenetrable shadows. This is the place to be if you want a setting where you can have scary, late-night chats while sitting on wooden benches beneath beautiful, orange lights. But take caution; this is a crude, basic establishment and not exactly where you should go if you want good meals or even costy accommodations.

    Amazing ambience at Lokanta. It wasn't the first time that I went there but it always amazes me with their food, presentation and ambience. ๐Ÿ‘ Update: The service needs to be overhauled by making the waiting staff more courteous, good with communication skills and improving upon the singer (in the musical group).

    My inner foodie took me to try this restaurant for a casual friends meetup. Liked the setting and ambience but taste and staff service and their behavior was a big turn off for me. 1st the staff was so rude to explain the due menu and then they brought the mixed/wrong serving i.e ordered Tarmarind fish and severed me mere fried fish with tomato sauce and 2nd dish was severed a fish with sauce which hadn't any salt or spices( in both cases wrong dishes were served). Staff even didn't accept thier mistake. A big turn off for those who crave quality cousine.

    Not as good as it used to be. The food was fine but the hut we were shown to was a bit of a mess tbh and the service was way too slow considering the time we went there. We went before rush hours. The cutlery and everything was a bit off and it spoiled the mood. Not a recommendation tbh.

  • 4/5 Ramz 1 year ago on Google
    I visited Lokanta in November 2021. The staff was accommodating and were happy to answer any questions I had about the menu. I ordered the penne arabiatta, and although the pasta was cooked well, the melted Mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta was overpowering and made me slightly nauseous. Next time, I would simply request them to add less cheese. From what the other guests told me, the mutton pulao is really good.

  • 2/5 Arslaan A. 1 year ago on Google โ€ข 9 reviews
    terrible at steaks. we ordered steak and I never regretted any decision more in my life than to have dinner at this place. so we ordered steaks and my steak was undercooked and literally raw. I asked them to correct it and they not only cooked it but also poured heavy sauce all over which made the steak uneadible and terrible. never going to this place again

    This Restaurant has some of the best environment I've ever visited in Peshawar. ๐Ÿ’ฏ It has a good space and cabins for families and couples, on top of that it has live music band playing ever green songs all times, ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽถ and yes the open air environment with comfy seating is another plus. ๐Ÿ‘โค๏ธ If I can sum up my opinions about food quality in a word, then it's simply amazing and delicious. ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜˜ Coffee can easily compete with Jhons Deli's Coffee in almost half price. It has a lot of space and there is no problem for wheel chairs and disables. The only drawback is I think the service staff here. ๐Ÿ’” They are not seems like enough experts like other identical restaurants have. I often noticed, they take more than 15 to 20 minutes even for taking the order, and then the order preparation takes its own time, so yes you can't expect Macdonalds like speedy service.

    I absolutely love its atmosphere, environment and setting. Service is fantastic, as well. I love music played on in the background. I highly recommend that you visit this restaurant at least once in the evening.

  • 1/5 Nauman 10 months ago on Google
    Reserved the cabin, asked them if they had ACโ€™s in their cabins. They mentioned on call that they do have ACโ€™s. When i went there, had to walk back out because they literally had nothing but a side wall fan and it was hella hot there in the cabin as it was around 3-4 pm , that too in the month of May. Had to walk out of there with my friends.

  • 1/5 khairullah k. 8 months ago on Google
    Yesterday 18 of August 2023 it was my first time to visit lokanta but I think I'll consider it my last experience as well coz the service is very very third class and you have to go for calling the waiter to fetch anything and I tried Angara chicken but it was very very bad and not cooked completely so I recommend you all to not wast your money their and don't be insulted their by their service it's just show off only

  • 4/5 Usman A. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was fantastic however the service was slow and lethargic. The aesthetics were nice. Prices are a bit high but the taste and quality compensates that. Overall a good place to go with family and friends
