Monthly Lunch and Dinner Plans in Islamabad: The Complete Guide
18 August 2026 · Updated 19 October 2026
The word "monthly" makes people nervous. It sounds like a contract, a commitment, a thing you have to get out of later. So here is exactly what a monthly meal plan is, how ours works from the first message to the first delivery, and how to pick the right one — the guide I wish someone had written when we started.
What a monthly plan actually is
It's simple: a fresh meal, cooked the same morning, delivered to the same place at the time you choose, every weekday. You stop thinking about food. That's the whole product.
There is no hidden delivery or service fee sitting on top. You pay per head for the days we actually serve — weekdays only, so public holidays and office closures are never charged. The month's amount is your per-head rate multiplied by your headcount and the number of serving days: a team of 20 on Economy for 22 serving days is 20 × Rs. 250 × 22 = Rs. 110,000. That's the entire math.
Offices use us the most, but the plan works for any place where the same people eat every day: showrooms, clinics, schools, academies, small factories. If your team orders from a different restaurant every day right now, we compared the two arrangements honestly in ordering every day vs a lunch plan. Weighing a plan against hiring your own cook? That comparison is in office cook vs catering service.
The three tiers, honestly explained
We run three menus. Same kitchen, same cooking, different rotation — and each one serves a single main dish a day.
Economy — Rs. 250 per head per day. The workhorse. Daal and vegetable days (mix daal, daal channa, red and white lobia, bhindi, mix vegetable, aloo matar), curry days like chicken qorma, aloo chicken and kari pakora, and rice days such as pulao kabab, vegetable rice and chana pulao with cutlets. If your team wants solid, homestyle food at the lowest sensible price, this is it.
Silver — Rs. 300 per head per day. Our most popular plan, with more meat across the week: chicken karahi, chicken biryani, chapli kabab, chicken palak, chicken kofta and chicken haleem, plus rice days like egg fried rice with chicken manchurian and chicken pulao. Silver includes a thali option — the meal comes with the accompaniments that suit the day's dish: raita, salad or rotti as required.
Gold — Rs. 350 per head per day. The fullest spread: chicken karahi, chicken white karahi, chicken jalfrezi, murgh achari, red chicken salan and chicken haleem, with rice days such as chicken pulao kabab and kabuli pulao. The thali option is included the same way as on Silver. If lunch is part of how you keep your team happy, Gold does that job.
Every week of every tier is published at feastpilaf.com/meal-plans — read the actual menus before you message us. No sales call needed to see the food.
The four-week rotation
Each plan runs on a four-week cycle, Monday to Friday. No dish comes back sooner than two full working weeks. Across the 20 serving days, Economy carries 16 different dishes, and Silver and Gold carry 19 each — on those two, chicken biryani is the only dish that appears twice in the month. Why that gap matters more than any single recipe is in our post on menu fatigue.
If you read an older version of this guide: our menus used to offer an alternate dish on some days. Since September 2026 every tier serves one main a day. Allergies or dietary needs on your team? Tell us when you book and we plan around them.
Lunch, dinner, or both
The same three menus run for dinner at the same rates — evening shifts and offices that work late take dinner delivery. Same kitchen, same chosen time, evening instead of noon. What changes after dark is covered in our office dinner delivery post.
How the month actually runs
Once you start, three things stay fixed: your menu, your delivery time and your rate. Food is served in shared deghs at no extra cost, or packed in individual food-grade PVC boxes for Rs. 20 per head if your team prefers portions. Which of the two suits you depends on how your office eats — we laid that out in why office food arrives cold.
Meals are cooked the same morning and delivered every weekday at the time you choose. Tell us when your team actually eats, not only when you want the food to arrive; the difference matters more than people expect.
Billing follows the serving days. A holiday week costs you only the days we served.
If none of the three menus fit
Some teams want to pick every dish themselves. We built a planner for exactly that: choose a tier, pick a dish for every day of the week, and send the finished menu to us on WhatsApp. Custom plans are for teams of 20 or more — the walkthrough is in build your own office lunch menu, and the planner itself is at feastpilaf.com/customize-plan.
Questions people ask before starting
Is there a minimum headcount? Not for the three standard plans — smaller teams are welcome, and we wrote about how lunch works for teams of 5 to 15. The 20-person minimum applies only to custom menus. Growing past 50 or 100? Here is what changes at each size.
Which areas do you cover? Daily delivery across Islamabad and Rawalpindi — Blue Area and the F, G and I sectors, Bahria Town, DHA, Gulberg Greens, PWD, Soan Garden, Police Foundation and surrounding areas. Area guides: F and G sectors, Blue Area, Bahria Town and DHA and Rawalpindi.
Can we taste the food first? Yes. For offices and institutions considering a monthly plan, we arrange a sample lunch so your team can judge the food first — here is how it works.
Can we pause or cancel? Yes — pause, skip or cancel with a message. No long-term contracts.
Can we see the menus without calling anyone? Yes — all four weeks of all three tiers, with prices, at feastpilaf.com/meal-plans.
Who's cooking? A Punjab Food Authority approved kitchen in Soan Garden, with a chef from Chiniot.
Starting is one message
Read the menus, pick a tier, and send us a message on WhatsApp at 0315 9093990 with your headcount and location. We'll confirm your delivery time and lunch starts showing up.
That's the complete guide. No long-term contract and no hidden fees — just a fresh meal at the time you chose, every weekday, and one less thing your office has to think about.
