Born from tradition, built on stories, served with pride.

About Us

"Kotal" is more than a name—it’s a journey.

Perched above Bahria Phase 8, where the hills meet sky, Kotal draws its soul from the Pashtun word for ‘high mountain pass.’ It’s here, in this elevated sanctuary, that heritage finds its home on the plate. Each dish pays homage to the diverse regions of Pakistan—from the misty mountains of the North to the sun-drenched coasts of the South. Kotal is where tradition is not just preserved—it’s reimagined.

Every Bite, a Story

At Kotal, every bite tells a story. We craft meals not just to fill plates, but to pass on legacies—aromatic spices from ancient trade routes, breads that rise with the sun, and desserts that echo family celebrations. Our signature dishes celebrate Pakistan’s regional diversity, and our tagline—“Taste of Heritage”—is more than a phrase. It’s a promise!

A place where ambiance meets ancestry.

From the moment you step into Kotal, nestled in the scenic heights of Bahria Phase 8, Rawalpindi, you’re greeted by panoramic views that stretch across city lights and rolling landscapes. Every corner of the space is crafted to feel both grounded in tradition and elevated in experience. Whether you’re dining in our serene Bars ’n Bakers or upstairs in the main hall surrounded by glass walls and open skies, the design and scenery combine to create a setting where flavors feel at home—and so do you.
