Restaurants in Gilgit Town

  1. Dumani

    Based at Gilgit's top hotel, Dumani has a wonderful vista and a good-value menu with tasty Pakistani, Chinese and Continental cuisine. If you have been scrimping or trekking, this is the place to have a splurge - particularly at the all-you-can-eat buffet lunch (Rs500). Popular barbecue nights (Mon-Sat) commence after 15 May, with locals and nonguests alike enjoying the first-rate food and garden ambience.

    Also good value is the high tea buffet on Sunday (15:00 to 18:00) with a great range of salads, hot dishes and desserts. Credit cards are accepted.

    Green Dragon

    Jamal Hotel's Chinese-decorated restaurant produces OK Chinese dishes such as hot and sour chicken, sliced beef and ginger, and laghman (noodles in broth), but covers its bases by churning out Pakistani standards such as chicken karai.

    Askari Bakery

    Catch a Suzuki out to Askari Bakery beyond Jutial for good-value cakes, biscuits and bread as well as a range of groceries. The 250 g fruit/plain butter cakes make ideal travel companions.
