OUR STORY
"We didn't build a restaurant.
We built a reason to gather."
Aab-o-Dana was conceived not just as a place to eat, but as a space where the rich hospitality of Islamabad meets modern culinary craftsmanship. Our name, "Water and Grain," speaks to our philosophy: a return to the essential, purest elements of life and sharing them generously.
What started as a vision for a neighborhood artisan bakery soon evolved into an ambitious multi-level destination. We realized that true hospitality shouldn't be confined to a single experience. Sometimes you need a quick coffee and croissant, sometimes a lavish family dinner, and sometimes a quiet evening under the stars.
By bringing these four distinct spaces together—the Bakery, the Restaurant, the Rooftop, and the Refreshment Center—we created a living, breathing building that caters to every mood, all while maintaining our uncompromising commitment to fresh ingredients and authentic flavors.
