 Monal Restaurant, an iconic eatery nestled in the hills of Islamabad, has long been a destination for families seeking a unique dining experience. Known for its picturesque views, especially at sunset, and its expansive menu offering a range of continental and Pakistani delicacies, it has drawn families from across the country.

The closure of Monal restaurant has caused significant hardship for many of its employees and their families. As a popular and renowned establishment, Monal employed hundreds of staff members across various departments, including kitchen, service, management, and support. The sudden closure led to loss of income, disruption of livelihoods, and increased financial stress for employees and their families, especially those who had relied on the restaurant as their primary source of employment.

Such closures often have a ripple effect on local communities, where many workers may have spent years building relationships and gaining experience in the industry. In the absence of immediate alternative job opportunities, many faced difficulty finding similar employment. Additionally, if employees do not have financial safety nets, it may worsen their ability to meet basic needs such as rent, bills, and food.
