From my time in Faisalabad, I recommend:
1. Portobello - This is located at the Doburj plaza Kohinoor city. Excellent ambiance and good food to go with it!
2. Baba Tikka - Only if you're in the mood for a HEAVY meal. Again, located in Kohinoor city.
3. Silver Spoon Continental - I'm a regular here during the weekends. Be it Italian, Chinese, or Mexican - they have them all.

Which one is your favourite out of those 3?
Also, any dishes you would recommend?

go to Koh e noor it has some nice restaurants.
If you are ok with a bit less expensive restaurants too than there are some good ones at Lasani Pulli.

Well, you can't go to Faisalabad and not visit Porto Bello! I recommend some calamari & shrimp as a starter, Greek salad and Fish Pasta for the mains and top that with chocolate cake!

Had a look on Tripadvisor and of the top 5 ranked restaurants in Faisalabad, Burger King and McDonalds made up two of them. There was a fried chicken place and a pizza joint in there, and the only one which looked desi was a place called Baba Tikka shop which was in there at #2 fighting the corner for local food against the world franchise giants.

Best place to eat in Faisalabad: Go to airport, catch a flight to Karachi, go to Burns Road.

It's the 3rd biggest city of Pakistan, they should definitely have a lot of options.

Funnily enough, only place I ever ate in Faisalabad was the train station. It was some reydhi selling masala fish with a brown chutney. It was really cheap but super tasty.

Reminded you of the fish and chips of your native country
I think British fish and chips is the only cuisine no one has introduced to Pakistan. You would think there's a gap in the market which some smart entrepreneur could cash in on, but for some reason I don't know if Pakistanis could tolerate it. I don't think they rate it much in Arab countries either, the food is too pikka for desi tastebuds.

Fish n' Chips is emblematic of British cuisine, which is ...... exactly - there isn't a cuisine!
I particularly enjoyed this graphic put out at the time of Brexit: "What Brexit Really Means":

There is a fast food chain in Pakistan called Mr. Cod that serves fish and chips. It is not as good as the ones in the UK, but it is close.
It hasn’t really kicked off in Pakistan because people usually prefer burgers and pizzas if they want a quick takeaway.

We should set up branches of Weatherspoon type of Pubs Pakistan... Steak and Kidney Pies and Mash, Fish and Chips, Shepherds Pie etc etc just without the alcohol. Mocktails instead of cocktails and alcohol free Beer. Set the price high and watch the wanna be's flock to it...

All of that is already available. However, the wannabes don’t flock to it, which is you are ignorant of the fact that it is available.
Perhaps you should revisit your business model.

I'm a regular at Mr Cod, they have 10 branches here in the UK all in the South. Chicken is also really good here as well.

Yeah that’s for the advice.
Next time I’m not talking in jest and actually have a plan i’ll Ask for your input.

Next time, be a little more respectful and don't use terms like "wannabes" to generalize a whole nation, so that when called out on your ignorance, you don't have to cover up by stating that you were talking in jest.

Not bad, but for some reason fish n' chips doesn't seem to translate that well outside of the UK, the stands in the Dubai court were usually not that busy, and even in America it's more of a niche product. Does Mr Cod offer the option of serving with vinegar? because if they don't they are sort of missing the point. Salt, vinegar, ketchup/tartare sauce and perhaps mushy peas. That's the proper experience. Again, not sure if Pakistanis will ever see the point, but for some reason when they are over here they will go for it. Maybe it's something about the British weather which makes it work better in Europe.

I can't see pubs ever taking off in Pakistan either, I don't know what Weatherspoons interior is like, but the olde style pubs in England with the dingy oak furniture and fireplaces are very specific to the UK. Pakistanis go more for the cafe style, mocktails and all.
As for wannabes, that's what business is all about. Selling a theme or a brand, and of course it's done to attract wannabes, nothing wrong with it. Although the idea of even wannabes ever taking to steak and kidney pies and mash is hard to fathom for me. More chance in India I reckon, their wannabe factor is a bit higher.

Lol.
There are wannabes everywhere in the world.
If only we could cater to them all, no pun intended.

Either we have a patriotic spy or a traitor, which one is it Mr. ?
