Smoking Hot - 160 Degrees

Nestled in an unassuming corner between two grey plazas, you'll find a tiny burger joint, newly throwing their grilled meats and buns into Islamabad's burgeoning burger scene.

With a rustic wooden ambience, housing just 3 tables and 3 bar stools, 160 Degrees fills the cozy alcove ineffability.

I quickly received my barbecue infused Smokehouse Chicken Burger, and twas good.

Soft frim buns, decked with black sesame, housed twin pieces of chicken with edges tantalizingly char-grilled. Traditional vegetable assortment coating in between, with bright yellow cheese peeking from underneath completed the ensemble.

First big bite, and the generous rich BBQ sauce is loud and in-charge. The grilled crunch of the juicy chicken follows, finishing with a soft bun refusing to crumble, made for an excellent salutation.

Happy to report, the Smokehouse doesn't waver in it's stellar performance till the final curtain call, when I was left with smacked lips, fingers licked, and warm fuzzies.

Everything felt fresh, crisp, and straight of the grill. At 400 rupees for a sandwich, (550 combo), 160 Degrees will have you cooing for an encore.
