Where culture, cuisine, and views come together
An Immersive Culinary Retreat in Hunza
Jahaan Restaurant – Gulmit, the flagship branch of the Gul-e-Jahaan family, is much more than a place to eat, it’s a sensory and cultural experience nestled in the majestic heart of Hunza.
Location & Ambience
- Scenic Setting: Perched along Riverview Road near Sadpara Chowk, Jahaan Gulmit offers panoramic views of the serene Hunza River, dramatic Passu Cones, and the iconic Pak-China Friendship Bridge.
- Atmosphere: Combining indoor comfort and outdoor charm, the restaurant blends stone, wood, and local artistry, creating a cozy, family-friendly space or a peaceful solo retreat.
A Menu That Celebrates Tradition & Flavor
- Local Hunza Cuisine: Wakhi-Pamirian specialties like Gral, Molida, Ghilmindi, Dowdo, and Khow-Suey, made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
- Regional Pakistani Flavors: Chicken Karahi, Biryani, and rich curries bring bold spice to your plate.
- Chinese Comfort Food: Chow Mein, Chicken Manchurian, and dumplings for a familiar Asian touch.
- Fast Food Favorites: Crispy broast, zinger burgers, pizzas, loaded fries, and sandwiches, popular with travelers and families.
Founders & the Team Behind Your Experience
Jahaan was founded by Naheed Aminuddin, whose vision was to unite taste, culture, and hospitality.
Today, Mukhtar Ali manages daily operations, ensuring memorable service.
In the kitchen, Head Chef Irfan Sardar, supported by sous chef Muzaffar Hussaini and Wakhi-Pamirian cuisine specialist Rubina Sultana, bring recipes to life with passion and precision.
