Old Ilyasi Pakora Shop – A Taste of Tradition by the Springs

Perched near the historic Ilyasi Masjid in Abbottabad, the Old Ilyasi Pakora Shop is more than just a place to grab a quick bite – it’s a beloved piece of local history, a small corner of the city where time seems to stand still. For decades, this humble little shop has been serving up crispy, golden pakoras that have become a cherished part of countless family outings, childhood memories, and roadside conversations.

The aroma of freshly fried chickpea batter, spiced just right and crisped to perfection, drifts through the air, drawing in visitors like a warm embrace. Each pakora, with its perfectly crunchy exterior and tender, flavorful core, is a small piece of culinary art, a humble delight that tastes of tradition and love.

But it’s not just the food that makes this place special – it’s the atmosphere. The sound of bubbling oil, the sizzle of fresh batches hitting the pan, and the cheerful chatter of families and friends create a vibrant, lively scene. The nearby springs add a touch of natural beauty, making every bite feel like a celebration of the simple joys in life.

At the Old Ilyasi Pakora Shop, every visit is a step back in time, a reminder that the best flavors come not just from recipes, but from the memories and moments we share over a plate of freshly made, piping-hot pakoras.
