About Summer Restaurant

Patterson Lakes diners head to Summer Restaurant for fragrant Afghan charcoal skewers, hot mantu, and lakeside shisha by the water. Perched along Harbour Plaza, the dining room pairs bubbling tea service and crisp wood-fired pizzas with sprawling mixed-grill boards. Tables fill quickly with groups sharing spiced kobideh and kashk bademjan before lingering outdoors under the river breeze with smooth apple shisha and slices of saffron biscoff cheesecake.

  • Afghan Grills & Wood-Fired Pies: Charcoal-grilled kobideh, tender lamb skewers, and steamed mantu dumplings share tables with fresh wood-fired pizzas.
  • Waterfront Shisha Lounge: Diners linger over table-side charcoal shisha paired with hot tea on the outdoor terrace overlooking Patterson River.
  • Group Feasts & Celebrations: Platters for four and generous banquet setups make it a neighborhood fixture for family birthdays and late gatherings.
