I went there at least two times (2017 & 2019). I think this place is better at making typical Pakistani food (unlike the local cuisines). Tours were managed by tour operator, so our choices and chances to interact with the people, were limited. Maybe they had better options which we couldnt know. I am not fond of chicken. The vegetable dishes were average in taste. Yes, the sweet dish was good . Gilgit is a lovable place (if we can skip few features)
Not reommended, below the average food
