I have been to many malls but never have I ever got charged a fee to get in. That was a bit odd. But what I did was some people getting charged and others not getting charged. Parking was an issue for our driver maybe because of the protests going on at the time of our visit. Mall had a great variety of restaurants to eat at. That was probably the best thing. Just an FYI the stores in the mall are pricey. Things I bought were cheap quality and fell apart within two weeks.

The Centaurus Mall is the most popular shopping mall cum food place of the capital. Though the place is oftenly very crowded, the ambiance, safety and gesture of the place is largely positive.
The place has outlets of a variety of renowned local and international brands offering clothing, footwear, accessories, furniture, eatables etc. all under one roof. Mall's Food Court contains best vendors caring for the taste buds of all castes & creed; and there's a 4-screen cinema as well on the same floor.
Central air-conditioning and high-end hygiene of the place provides exclusive environment for both shoppers and other visitors. The staff is very friendly and cooperative, and security is reinforced with the help of cameras and round the clock vigilance.
Parking, however, can be a tricky business as the influx easily exceeds mall's capacity to accommodate the footfall. Despite the fact that there are no less than two large underground parking spaces and some space around the mall as well.
For tourists, it is recommended to use the Metro Bus Service to reach the place as a cheaper and wiser option.

The centaurus is situated right in the heart of Islamabad, on Fazal-e-Haq road. It's the first real mall in Islamabad with almost all the amenities. Various local and international brands are available in the mall under one roof for shoes, clothing and electronics. Also various cafes and restaurants are available as well as a food court on top floor. There is a multiplex cinema on the sa.e floor of food court. They have 3 storey car parking and also various parking spots are available around the mall. There is a metro station in front of the mall, so it can be easily accessed via metro or taxis or careem/uber. On weekends it gets over crowded sometimes, so can be irritating sometimes.
But only drawback is that it's more towards a mid-expensive place considering the rates for stuff.

The Fabulous mall to shopping. The Centaurus Mall also includes entertainment in the form of a play area for children, known as Fun City, and a movie cinema, known as The Centaurus Cinema(Cineplax). Both the play area and the cinema are located on the fourth floor of the mall. Located on the fourth floor, The Centaurus food court offers plenty of food options for shoppers, as there is a wide variety of restaurants and fast food chains such as McDonald's, Subway, Hardee's, OPTP, Chachajee, and others.
International coffee shops and cafes such as Gloria Jeans, Cinnabon, Second Cup. are also located throughout the mall.
Moreover, there are plenty of snack, drink, and ice cream booths in the food court and littered throughout the mall that offer drinks, slushies, popcorn, cotton candy, dry fruits, and nuts.

This is definitely the best mall in town. Lots of shops with international brands and various good restaurants. The supermarket inside the mall offers a variety of local and imported products to affordable prices.

The crew of centaurs mall misbehaved with me just because I was sitting on a side bench legs up and folded nicely because I was having pain in my feet. According to the them it's a public place and we can't sit in a upright position. They were very rude and very unprofessional. I say if it's that kind of a public place put a ban on couples who walk holding hands and people who are inappropriately dressed and do inappropriate things there. To the management and owners, teach some manners to your staff of shut the mall down.

It's the shopping hub in Islamabad, with alot of National and International brands available there. Furthermore a big food court, cinema and kids area. I would recommend anyone travelling to Islamabad, visit this mall, whether shopping or food.

I agree with people who say this is the best shopping mall in Pakistan - big and packed with luxurious brands and a food court with many food outlets (though the food I tried were not very good) But this mall needs diversity - most stores sell clothes only - and these clothes are mainly Pakistani clothing. I'm not a Pakistani or local so of course this mall kinda bored me because I couldn't find a shop that suits me.

The Centaurus Mall is undoubtedly the best shopping mall in the Pakistani Capital, Islamabad. I t has outlets for many international brands and one can often witness fun activities at the ground floor. The food court has a variety of western and eastern choices, my favorite place being the Fridays, which is a bit expensive but is ideal for a semi formal meal. This place has a magnificent view of the city from the tables at the far end. Its neat clean place, which is comfortable due to the central air conditioning.
