YoutubeWe wanted to try local cuisine from Hunza and were recommended Hidden
Paradise - a family run restaurant. We ordered a variety of dishes and
enjoyed each one. The taste is different to what you get from a
traditional Pakistani restaurant. Food is generally less spicy here
which accentuates the flavour of ingredients. I particularly liked
Chapshuro (flat bread with chicken stuffing), a yougurt and bread dish, a
green leaves curry made with indigenous plants and a potatoe and walnut
dish. Not knowing what type of food to expect we played safe and
ordered a chicken karahi as well. To our delight this was done in a
Hunza way, with just the right amount of spice. Food was served in
traditional in wooden bowls and plates that added to the experience. The
service was friendly and I enjoyed talking to the Javid Karim sahib
(the proprietor). I hope this place continues to serve traditional
seasonal food and doesn't fall into commercial traps.
