If you are planning an event in Peshawar, one of the first questions you will ask is: "How much does a Daig cost?" Whether it's for a wedding, a Niyaz, or a corporate lunch, ordering food by the Daig is the most traditional, economical, and delicious way to feed a large crowd.
At Wahab Catering Services, we believe in complete transparency. In this guide, we will break down the exact costs of the most popular Daigs in Peshawar for 2026.
Understanding Daig Pricing
The cost of a Daig depends on three main factors:
- The Type of Meat: Chicken is the most affordable, followed by Beef, with Mutton being the most premium option.
- The Quality of Ingredients: Using premium Basmati rice, fresh spices, and high-quality cooking oil significantly improves the taste but slightly increases the cost.
- The Weight (Size) of the Daig: A standard Daig is usually 10kg or 12kg of rice/meat ratio.
