Daig Price in Islamabad

Daig Price in Islamabad typically start around Rs. 7,000 for a small pulao or dessert daig and climb to roughly Rs. 52,000 for a large 12kg mutton pulao daig serving 50–60 guests. Chicken dishes are the most affordable protein option, beef sits in the middle, and mutton is the premium choice across every category. Daig sizes generally run from 5kg (20–25 servings) up to 12kg (51–60 servings), while qorma serves fewer people per kilogram since it excludes rice. Islamabad and Rawalpindi share identical daig pricing, since both cities fall under the same catering market.

Introduction

If you have ever searched for Daig Price in Islamabad, you already know the confusion. One caterer quotes you one figure, a relative tells you a completely different number from their cousin’s wedding, and the price seems to change depending on who you ask. That is exactly why this guide exists.

This guide walks through Daig 786’s complete menu, product by product and size by size, so you get one clean, accurate reference for Daig Price in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Every price and serving size mentioned here comes directly from their published rates; nothing is guessed.

Whether you are planning a [[Best Daig for Wedding Catering in Islamabad & Rawalpindi]], a Walima, a birthday, an Aqiqa, or a corporate lunch, this article walks you through exactly what a daig costs, how many people each size feeds, and which daig actually makes sense for your guest count. Islamabad and Rawalpindi share the same daig catering market, so the pricing and advice here apply equally to both cities.

Consider this the master reference for Daig Price in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. It covers every dish and event type at a glance, and it links out to more focused guides wherever a topic deserves its own deep dive, from single-dish price breakdowns to guest-count calculators and event-specific catering advice.

Why People Order Daig Instead of Individual Meals

A daig works out cheaper and easier than ordering individual plates once your guest count crosses 20 to 25 people.

Once you are feeding more than a handful of people, a shared daig makes far more sense than separate plates. Here is why so many families and event planners in Islamabad and Rawalpindi lean on daig catering instead:

• One dish, one price. You know your total cost upfront instead of multiplying a per-head rate and hoping the math works out.
• Less wastage. A daig is portioned by weight, so a good caterer can guide you toward the size that actually matches your guest list instead of over-ordering “just in case.”
• Consistent taste across the whole gathering. Everyone eats from the same pot, cooked in the same batch, so there is no difference in quality between the first plate served and the last.
• Easier for large family events. Weddings, Walimas, and Aqiqa ceremonies often involve unpredictable guest numbers. A mid-to-large daig gives you breathing room without the stress of running out of food.
• Better value per serving. As you move to bigger daig sizes, the price per person usually works out lower than ordering the same quantity as individual meals.

The trade-off is that you do need to think ahead about size, which is exactly what the next few sections are for.

A quick pattern worth noticing: mutton always costs more than beef, and beef always costs more than chicken, across every category. That is simply the cost of the meat itself, not a catering markup.

Serving Size Guide

Daig 786 sizes daig orders by kilograms of rice and meat rather than by “small, medium, large” labels, with serving counts clearly stated for each size.

This is where most first-time daig buyers get tripped up. A “6kg daig” does not mean the same number of servings across every dish type, because rice-based dishes (biryani, pulao) and meat-only dishes (qorma) are measured differently.

Here is the general pattern across Daig 786’s biryani range:

Size	Approx. Servings
5KG Rice + 5KG Meat	20–25 people
6KG Rice + 6KG Meat	26–30 people
7KG Rice + 7KG Meat	31–35 people
8KG Rice + 8KG Meat	36–40 people
10KG Rice + 10KG Meat	41–50 people
12KG Rice + 12KG Meat	51–60 people

Qorma daig, on the other hand, is priced and sized by meat weight alone (no rice included), so the same kilogram amount feeds fewer people than a biryani or pulao daig of the same weight. A 5kg qorma daig serves roughly 8–11 people, since it is meant to be eaten with rice, naan, or roti served separately.

How to Choose the Right Daig Size

Count your confirmed guests, add 10–15% for uninvited plus-ones, then match that number to the closest daig size rather than rounding up “to be safe.”

Here is the practical approach experienced caterers recommend, based on how most families actually plan their catering:

1. Start with your RSVP number, not your invite list. Pakistani weddings and family events almost always see 10–20% more guests than confirmed, so build that buffer in from the start instead of guessing wildly.
2. Don’t over-order “just in case.” The single biggest mistake people make is jumping from a 30-person daig straight to a 50-person daig out of anxiety. That gap wastes food and money. Order for your realistic number plus a sensible buffer.
3. Mix dish types instead of one giant daig. If you’re serving 60 guests, two mid-sized daigs (say, one biryani and one qorma) often work better than one oversized single dish, since guests naturally split their plates between rice and gravy items.
4. Factor in children separately. Kids typically eat half portions or less. If a good chunk of your guest list is children, you can lean toward the smaller end of your size bracket.
5. Ask about combining protein types. For weddings and Walimas especially, ordering one chicken dish and one beef or mutton dish gives guests a choice without doubling your total spend on the pricier meat.

Chicken Biryani Daig Price

Chicken Biryani Daig at Daig 786 starts at Rs. 13,000 for a 5kg size (20–25 servings) and goes up to Rs. 24,000 for a 12kg size (51–60 servings).

This is consistently one of the most-ordered items on the menu, and it’s easy to see why: chicken biryani daig hits the sweet spot between price and crowd appeal.

Size	Servings	Price
5KG Rice + 5KG Chicken	20–25	Rs. 13,000 (starting price)
6KG Rice + 6KG Chicken	26–30	Priced between the 5kg and 7kg tiers (confirm at order)
7KG Rice + 7KG Chicken	31–35	Priced between the 6kg and 8kg tiers (confirm at order)
8KG Rice + 8KG Chicken	36–40	Priced between the 7kg and 10kg tiers (confirm at order)
10KG Rice + 10KG Chicken	41–50	Priced between the 8kg and 12kg tiers (confirm at order)
12KG Rice + 12KG Chicken	51–60	Rs. 24,000 (maximum price)

Who should order this size: The 5–6kg range suits small family gatherings, birthday parties, or an Aqiqa with close relatives. The 8–10kg range fits mid-sized Walima or Mehndi functions. The 12kg size is built for full wedding functions or large corporate lunches.

Budget tip: since chicken biryani daig price sits well below beef or mutton biryani, it is the most economical way to serve a large crowd without compromising on taste. If your event has a broad guest list with varied preferences, this is usually the safest primary dish.

Beef Biryani Daig Price

Beef Biryani Daig starts at Rs. 17,000 for 5kg (20–25 servings) and reaches Rs. 35,000 for 12kg (51–60 servings).

Size	Servings	Price
5KG Rice + 5KG Beef	20–25	Rs. 17,000 (starting price)
6KG Rice + 6KG Beef	26–30	Priced between the 5kg and 7kg tiers (confirm at order)
7KG Rice + 7KG Beef	31–35	Priced between the 6kg and 8kg tiers (confirm at order)
8KG Rice + 8KG Beef	36–40	Priced between the 7kg and 10kg tiers (confirm at order)
10KG Rice + 10KG Beef	41–50	Priced between the 8kg and 12kg tiers (confirm at order)
12KG Rice + 12KG Beef	51–60	Rs. 35,000 (maximum price)

Who should order this size: beef biryani sits comfortably between chicken and mutton, both in taste intensity and in price. It works well for Walima dinners and Mehndi functions where guests expect something a step up from everyday chicken biryani.

Budget tip: if your budget allows one “premium” biryani on the menu alongside a chicken option, beef biryani daig is the natural middle-ground choice. It reads as more festive without pushing your total catering bill toward mutton-level pricing.

Mutton Biryani Daig Price

Mutton Biryani Daig is priced from Rs. 23,000 for 5kg (20–25 servings) up to Rs. 47,500 for 12kg (51–60 servings), making it the most expensive biryani option on the menu.

Size	Servings	Price
5KG Rice + 5KG Mutton	20–25	Rs. 23,000 (starting price)
6KG Rice + 6KG Mutton	26–30	Priced between the 5kg and 7kg tiers (confirm at order)
7KG Rice + 7KG Mutton	31–35	Priced between the 6kg and 8kg tiers (confirm at order)
8KG Rice + 8KG Mutton	36–40	Priced between the 7kg and 10kg tiers (confirm at order)
10KG Rice + 10KG Mutton	41–50	Priced between the 8kg and 12kg tiers (confirm at order)
12KG Rice + 12KG Mutton	51–60	Rs. 47,500 (maximum price)

Who should order this size: mutton biryani is the go-to for Walimas, formal wedding dinners, and any event where the family wants to signal a more premium spread. It’s rarely the only dish on the table; most hosts pair it with a lighter chicken dish so guests have a choice.

Budget tip: given the price jump from chicken to mutton, many families order mutton biryani in a smaller size (5–7kg) purely for the “main table” or close family, while chicken or beef biryani covers the wider guest list. This keeps the premium touch without inflating the whole event’s food budget.

Chicken Qorma Daig Price

Chicken Qorma Daig starts at Rs. 9,000 for 5kg (8–11 servings) and goes up to Rs. 17,000 for 12kg (30–45 servings).

Unlike biryani, qorma is priced by meat weight alone, so servings per kilogram are lower; it’s meant to be paired with rice, naan, or roti.

Size	Servings	Price
5KG Chicken	8–11	Rs. 9,000 (starting price)
6KG Chicken	12–15	Priced between the 5kg and 7kg tiers (confirm at order)
7KG Chicken	16–18	Priced between the 6kg and 8kg tiers (confirm at order)
8KG Chicken	20–25	Priced between the 7kg and 10kg tiers (confirm at order)
10KG Chicken	30–35	Priced between the 8kg and 12kg tiers (confirm at order)
12KG Chicken	30–45	Rs. 17,000 (maximum price)

Who should order this size: chicken qorma daig is a natural side dish alongside biryani or pulao at weddings and Walimas, or a standalone main for smaller family dinners and Aqiqa functions when served with plain rice or naan.

Budget tip: because qorma is priced by meat weight only, it’s often the more affordable way to add a “gravy dish” to your menu compared to ordering another full rice-based daig. Many hosts pair one biryani with one qorma rather than two biryanis, purely to balance cost and variety.

Chicken White Qorma Daig Price

Chicken White Qorma Daig, the milder, cream-based version of qorma, starts at Rs. 11,000 for 5kg (8–11 servings) and reaches Rs. 21,500 for 12kg (40–45 servings).

Size	Servings	Price
5KG Chicken	8–11	Rs. 11,000 (starting price)
6KG Chicken	12–15	Priced between the 5kg and 7kg tiers (confirm at order)
7KG Chicken	16–18	Priced between the 6kg and 8kg tiers (confirm at order)
8KG Chicken	20–25	Priced between the 7kg and 10kg tiers (confirm at order)
10KG Chicken	30–35	Priced between the 8kg and 12kg tiers (confirm at order)
12KG Chicken	40–45	Rs. 21,500 (maximum price)

Who should order this size: white qorma skips red chili and turmeric, so it suits guests who prefer a milder, more aromatic dish older family members, young children, or simply a change of pace from spicier reds. It works well at Walimas and Milad or Quran Khwani gatherings where a gentler flavor profile is often expected.

Budget tip: since white qorma costs more than regular red qorma at every size, it’s worth ordering only if a meaningful portion of your guests will actually prefer the milder taste. For a broad, mixed-age guest list, standard chicken qorma remains the more economical choice. If you’re torn between the two, see our full comparison in [[Chicken Qorma vs Chicken White Qorma – Which One to Choose?]] for a taste and price breakdown side by side.

Beef Pulao Daig Price

Beef Pulao Daig starts at Rs. 16,500 for the smallest size (20–25 servings) and reaches Rs. 34,000 for the largest 12kg size (51–60 servings).

Beef pulao’s serving sizes are structured a little differently from biryani, based on Daig 786’s published options:

Size	Servings	Price
5KG Rice + 5KG Beef	20–25	Rs. 16,500 (starting price)
6KG Rice + 6KG Beef	25–30	Priced between the 5kg and 8kg tiers (confirm at order)
8KG Rice + 8KG Beef	50–55	Priced between the 6kg and 10kg tiers (confirm at order)
10KG Rice + 8KG Beef	50–55	Priced between the 8kg and 12kg tiers (confirm at order)
10KG Rice + 10KG Beef	50–55	Priced between the 8kg and 12kg tiers (confirm at order)
12KG Rice + 12KG Beef	51–60	Rs. 34,000 (maximum price)

Who should order this size: beef pulao’s milder, homestyle flavor makes it a comfortable choice for family functions, Aqiqa ceremonies, and everyday large gatherings where you want something less spicy than biryani but still meat-forward.

Budget tip: because pulao uses a simpler spice profile than biryani, it’s often slightly cheaper for the same protein and size. If your event needs to feed a large number of people on a tighter budget, beef pulao is a smart way to include beef without paying biryani-level prices.

Mutton Pulao Daig Price

Mutton Pulao Daig starts at Rs. 22,500 for the smallest size (20–25 servings) and climbs to Rs. 48,500 for the largest 12kg size (51–60 servings).

Size	Servings	Price
5KG Rice + 5KG Mutton	20–25	Rs. 22,500 (starting price)
8KG Rice + 8KG Mutton	31–35	Priced between the 5kg and 10kg tiers (confirm at order)
10KG Rice + 8KG Mutton	36–40	Priced between the 8kg and 12kg tiers (confirm at order)
10KG Rice + 10KG Mutton	41–50	Priced between the 8kg and 12kg tiers (confirm at order)
12KG Rice + 10KG Mutton	51–60	Priced between the 10kg and 12kg tiers (confirm at order)
12KG Rice + 12KG Mutton	51–60	Rs. 48,500 (maximum price)

Who should order this size: mutton pulao is typically reserved for Walimas, formal weddings, or premium family functions where mutton is expected as a centerpiece dish but a milder pulao style is preferred over the spicier biryani.

Budget tip: given that this is the single most expensive item on Daig 786’s full menu at the top size, many hosts order it only in the 5–8kg range for a close-family table, while a chicken or beef dish covers the broader guest list. Not sure whether pulao should be beef or mutton for your event? Our [[Beef Pulao vs Mutton Pulao Daig – Price & Taste Comparison]] lays out the price gap and flavor differences in detail.

Best Daig for Weddings

For weddings, most hosts order a mix of chicken and beef or mutton biryani, sized for the full guest list, alongside one qorma dish for variety.

Weddings in Islamabad and Rawalpindi tend to have the largest and least predictable guest counts of any event type. Experienced caterers generally recommend ordering your biryani in the 10–12kg range to serve 40–60 guests, and adding a smaller qorma daig (6–8kg) as a second dish. This combination gives guests choice without doubling your total order size. [[Chicken Biryani Daig Price in Islamabad]] keeps the bulk of your catering affordable, while a smaller mutton or beef dish adds a premium touch for the head table.

Best Daig for Walima

Walima catering typically leans slightly more premium than the wedding day itself, so beef or mutton biryani in the 8–10kg range paired with a qorma or pulao is common.

Since Walima is usually a smaller, more intimate gathering than the wedding function, hosts often use this event to serve their better dishes: mutton biryani, [[Beef Biryani Daig Price in Islamabad]], mutton qorma, or a rich Kabuli pulao. If your Walima guest list sits around 30–40 people, an 8kg daig covers it comfortably, with a little room to spare for late arrivals.

Best Daig for Mehndi

Mehndi functions work well with lighter, spicier dishes like chicken biryani or chicken pulao, since the mood is festive and guests are often mingling rather than sitting for a formal meal.

A Mehndi crowd tends to graze rather than sit through a full course, so a mid-sized chicken biryani daig (6–8kg) alongside a dessert daig like zarda or kheer usually covers the evening well. Since Mehndi guest counts are often smaller and more flexible than the main wedding day, there’s less pressure to over-order here.

Best Daig for Birthday Parties

Birthday parties usually need smaller daig sizes; 5–6kg is enough for most home celebrations, with chicken biryani or chicken qorma being the most popular choices.

Since birthday parties skew toward a mixed-age crowd including children, chicken-based dishes in the 5–6kg range typically work best. If you’re expecting 20–30 guests, a single 6kg chicken biryani daig, paired with a dessert like gajjar halwa or fruit trifle, usually covers the whole event comfortably.

Best Daig for Aqiqa

Aqiqa ceremonies commonly use mutton or beef dishes as a nod to tradition, though chicken options work equally well for smaller, budget-conscious gatherings.

Since Aqiqa often has religious and family significance attached to the meat served, many families specifically request [[Mutton Biryani Daig Price in Islamabad]] or mutton qorma daig, even in a smaller 5–6kg size. If your Aqiqa gathering is modest in size, a 5kg mutton biryani or beef biryani daig balances tradition with a manageable budget. For a full breakdown of sizes by ceremony scale, see our [[Aqiqa Catering Guide: Daig Sizes & Prices in Islamabad]].

Corporate Event Catering

Corporate events in Islamabad typically call for chicken-based biryani or pulao daig in the 8–10kg range, chosen for broad appeal and dietary simplicity across a mixed office crowd.

For office lunches, product launches, or corporate gatherings, chicken biryani daig or chicken pulao daig tends to be the safest choice; it avoids dietary friction, keeps costs predictable, and is universally well received. Daig 786’s on-time delivery matters more here than at family events, since corporate schedules are usually tighter and less flexible. For package-style ordering and volume pricing, our [[Corporate Event Catering in Islamabad: Daig Packages Explained]] guide goes into more detail.

What Affects Daig Prices

Daig prices are shaped mainly by the type of meat used, the total weight ordered, and whether the dish includes rice or is a standalone gravy item.

A few clear patterns come through when you compare Daig 786’s full menu:

• Protein type is the biggest price driver. Mutton costs noticeably more than beef, and beef costs more than chicken, across every single category on the menu.
• Rice-based dishes cost more than gravy-only dishes. Biryani and pulao include both rice and meat by weight, so they’re priced higher than qorma, which is meat-only.
• Size scales the price, but not always in a straight line. Larger daig sizes generally offer a better price-per-serving than the smallest sizes, since there’s less proportional waste in a bigger batch.
• Specialty preparations add a small premium. Dishes like Sindhi or Hyderabadi biryani, or white and badami qorma variations, typically cost slightly more than their standard counterparts due to the extra ingredients (cream, nuts, distinct spice blends) involved.
• Seasonal ingredient costs can shift mid-tier pricing. This is exactly why exact prices for in-between sizes are confirmed directly with the caterer rather than fixed permanently on the website; meat and rice costs fluctuate through the year.

Ordering Tips

Confirm your exact guest count, decide your protein mix, and call or WhatsApp ahead of your event date rather than waiting until the last minute.

A few things experienced caterers genuinely recommend before placing a daig order:

• Order at least 2–3 days ahead for small events, and a week or more ahead for weddings and Walimas, since fresh preparation takes planning on the caterer’s side too.
• Ask about the exact price for your chosen size before confirming, since only the smallest and largest sizes are shown as fixed prices publicly; the mid-range sizes are confirmed at the time of order.
• Don’t split your order across too many small daigs. It’s usually more cost-effective to order one well-sized daig than three small ones of the same total weight.
• Clarify delivery timing in advance, especially for wedding-day catering where timing can make or break the event schedule.
• Ask about spice-level adjustments if you have guests with a lower spice tolerance; most qorma and biryani options can be adjusted on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average daig price in Islamabad?

The average Daig Price in Islamabad ranges from around Rs. 7,000 for a small pulao or dessert daig to over Rs. 47,000 for a large mutton biryani or pulao daig. Most mid-sized chicken dishes fall between Rs. 13,000 and Rs. 24,000 depending on the size ordered.

Which daig serves 50 people?

A 10kg to 12kg daig typically serves 41 to 60 people, depending on the dish. Biryani and pulao daigs in this range comfortably cover 50 guests, while qorma daigs of the same weight serve fewer people since they don’t include rice.

Which biryani daig is most popular?

Chicken Biryani Daig is generally the most popular option, thanks to its lower price point, wide appeal across age groups, and suitability for almost every occasion from birthdays to weddings.

How much chicken biryani is needed for 30 guests?

For roughly 30 guests, a 6kg to 7kg Chicken Biryani Daig (26–35 servings) is the right fit, based on Daig 786’s serving guide.

Which daig is best for weddings?

A combination works best: a large chicken biryani daig (10–12kg) for broad coverage, paired with a smaller beef or mutton biryani or qorma daig for variety and a more premium touch.

Is daig pricing the same in Islamabad and Rawalpindi?

Yes. Daig 786 treats Islamabad and Rawalpindi as one catering market, so there is no separate pricing structure between the two cities.

Do Daig prices include delivery?

Delivery details and any related charges are best confirmed directly with Daig 786 when placing your order, since this can depend on your specific location within Islamabad or Rawalpindi.

What is the minimum order size for a daig?

Based on the published options, the smallest standard daig sizes start around 5kg, though a few dishes list a 3kg option as well.

Can I mix two different meats in one order?

Daig 786’s dishes are prepared per protein type (chicken, beef, or mutton), so you would order separate daigs for each meat rather than a single mixed daig.

How far in advance should I book a daig for a wedding?

For weddings and Walimas, booking at least a week in advance is a safe practice, since large events need planning time for both quantity and delivery scheduling.

What is the difference between qorma and biryani pricing?

Qorma is priced by meat weight alone and typically costs less than biryani or pulao, which include both rice and meat by weight, making biryani the pricier category overall.

Is Chicken White Qorma more expensive than regular Chicken Qorma?

Yes. Chicken White Qorma Daig costs more than standard Chicken Qorma Daig at every size, due to the cream and yogurt-based preparation.

Can spice levels be adjusted for large orders?

Yes, Daig 786 allows spice-level adjustments on request across their biryani, qorma, and pulao dishes to suit different guest preferences.

Does Daig 786 deliver outside Islamabad and Rawalpindi?

Their primary service area is Islamabad and Rawalpindi. For nearby locations outside these cities, it’s best to contact them directly to check availability.

What size daig is best for a small family gathering of 10–15 people?

A 5kg daig, whether biryani, pulao, or qorma, is generally the right starting point for a gathering of this size, based on the serving guide above.
