Nauman Masood Has Opened His Own Restaurant

In the F7 Markaz, a colourful multi-story building houses a desi cuisine restaurant that is striving to redefine the food options available in Islamabad. In the bureaucratic capital, it’s a rare sight.

The project was the consequence of a “midlife crisis,” according to Nauman Masood. Even after everything he’s accomplished, he claims there’s still more he can and wants to accomplish. “At my age, you don’t qualify as a young man, nor do you qualify as an elderly man – you’re trapped in the between. I still feel young, and my buddies and I have managed to stay in shape, thanks to our old diets,” he explained.

“During my last three to four years in Karachi, I learned that employment in the media industry was slow,” he added, explaining why he left the entertainment and art profession to pursue a career in hospitality. The majority of the scripts I received did not inspire me, and only once in a while did I receive something worthwhile. In Pakistan, at my age, you aren’t generally considered for a hero’s part, so I was simply waiting for the appropriate call. I felt as if I were being suffocated.”
