The wall

There is a wall in the dining room covered in framed photographs. Every one of them is somebody who ate here, standing next to Kaneez Fatima, usually just after a meal.

Some of the faces on it are well known in Pakistan. Most are not. The wall does not distinguish between them, and neither does the kitchen: everybody gets the same food, cooked the same way, after the same three hours.

The rest of the wall is travellers. People who were given the number by somebody else, called three hours ahead, and stayed longer than they meant to.

What people write afterwards, unprompted and in their own words.

Absolutely destroyed this plate of pulao and the Moscot chicken. Would recommend visiting just for the love of the game and the owner herself. She's such a boss and an absolute delight to talk to. I could taste a mother's love in the food.

A true taste of Baltistan. Every dish felt deeply rooted in local tradition, made with incredibly fresh ingredients and packed with authentic flavour. The chicken pulao, chicken moscut, and comforting barley noodle soup were all excellent.

Amazing experience at the balti cuisine. The food was delicious and the only place where you will find authentic balti taste! The host was very welcoming. Our children really enjoyed the company as well!
