Is this Canberra's best-kept secret?

Found a Pakistani restaurant that actually blew me away.
Zaiqah.au served up bold flavours and generous plates that felt made for sharing.

🧆 Gol Gappy - shatter-crisp shells, chana chaat, tangy flavoured water. One bite and you get why they’re called legendary.
🥘 Charsi goat karahi - goat so tender it barely held together, coated in a rich spice gravy. My partner’s clear winner.
🍚 Zafrani plain rice - simple, fragrant; it just works.
🍛 Butter chicken - creamy, tomato-heavy and comfort in every spoonful.
🫓 Roghni + cheese naan, built for sauce chasing.
🍹 Mocktails - my partner went for a mango lassi that cooled the spice, and I had a Strawberry Storm that tasted like summer poured in a glass.

Beautiful lighting, generous portions (non-negotiable, blame my Italian roots), a vibe that felt more like dinner at someone’s home than a restaurant, and service that was truly 10/10.

If you’re looking for authentic Pakistani food in Canberra, this is where you want to be.

🍽 Zaiqah 📍21 Challis Street, Dickson. Open seven days a week, 5pm-10pm.

Croffle & Co knew exactly what they were doing with these croffles — croissants pressed in a waffle iron, crisp outside and flaky inside, and already rewriting my breakfast standards.

And the toppings… too many to count. Choose, if you dare ✨

Not a meal. Not a snack. A full-blown pastry intervention.
And honestly? I needed it.

🍽 Croffle & Co
📍Old Bus Depot Markets, 21 Wentworth Ave, Kingston 🕘 Sundays 9.30am - 2.30pm

Where’s the hot dog that’s worth making eye contact with? 🌭

Popped into for “something light” and walked out in a committed relationship with this hot dog.

✨ Soft, toasty bun — hugging the sausage like it owes rent
✨ Generous drizzle of mustard + ketchup — messy zig-zags that belong in a modern art gallery
✨ Crisp onion bits — sharp enough to make small talk cut deeper
✨ Paprika-dusted chips — crispy joy, zero edits required

💾 Save this if you need a meal that does more than feed you.
