No, an iPad will not be able to restore your iPhone. If you forgot your iPhone passcode - Apple Support states:

"This process requires a Mac or PC. If you're using a PC, make sure that is has Windows 8 or later, and that iTunes is installed. You also need the cable that came with your iPhone, or another compatible cable, to connect your iPhone to the computer.

If you don't have a computer and you can't borrow one, you need to go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help."
