Mr. Cod

Mr. Cod is a local take on the traditional UK fish and chip shop, with a fast food menu that includes fish burgers, deep-fried prawns, chicken rice, and fish tikka, all of which come as part of great value combo meals with fries. The breakfast special includes an egg muffin sandwich, red beans, salad, and a hot beverage.

Cafes

Green tea (or kahwah) is the Peshawari beverage of choice. The age-old recipe dictates that tea be brewed in a large copper container (samovar), with spices like saffron, cinnamon and cardamom added for fragrance and flavor. Nowadays, liberties are often taken with the original recipe, but drinking kahwah remains an indispensable tradition. Another noteworthy treat is the falooda, a sweet dessert drink prepared with rose syrup, basil, jello bits and milk.
