we decided to have dessert here one night and found the place to be small and charming. I tried the chocolate cake and didn't find it very good however the walnut cake was fantastic and worth coming back for. I would have liked to try the coffee but being night i didn't want the caffeine hit! We enjoyed meeting other tourists there and would definitely go back again.

Though a bit expensive, Osho Maraka Restaurant in Serena Inn is one of the best in Hunza area. Standard of cooking is good and food is clean and hygienic, a serious issue that you face at many other places. They don't have an extravagant menu card but it is good enough and provides most popular Pakistani dishes.
The service is good. However, the best thing about the restaurant is the stunning view of Hunza valley through it's large size glass window. It's a treat having one's food with that view.

City Inn Restaurant only known between locals as the best Pakistani restaurant in town.
Local price. Real Pakistani food. And tasty.
Another thing I am quite impressive with this restaurant is about speed in service.
You do not have to wait so long to get your food.
Normally when you go to Pakistani restaurant and order something sometimes it may take more than 30 mins just to eat some normal food although the restaurant is not crowded.A bad example is a restaurant in PTDC Skardu. The food always slow there.
A must visit restaurant if you go to Skardu!
Recommended.
PS: Restaurant actually provided menu in English.
10. Glacier Breeze Restaurant

Reviewed By marcofahmey - Sao Paulo, SP
Tasty and affordable apricot cake. When we were there, there were only 3 available that morning and we bought them all. I suppose it would be best if you could call ahead of time before passing by. You can't miss it cos it's the only building on top of a small hill on the Karakoram Highway just before Passu town. The owner is a friendly and he has a Facebook plus the restaurant. It's quite a walk up the stairs but if you're driving a jeep or a car, you could drive along the side making it less effort to get the top.
