This five star restaurant serves some decent Kashmiri dishes. Chinar is a symbol of Kashmir and its beauty; and the restaurant aims to give you a peek into its culture through their food. So gorge on some local delicacies like Rogan Josh and Tabak Maaz while you drink in the beauty that surrounds you. Pro Tip- Opt for outdoor seating for the best experience.

Where | The Lalit Grand Palace, Gupkar Road

2. Ahdoos

This legendary restaurant does excellent Tramis. Ornate silver plates with a serving of kebab, some curry and Tabak Maaz atop a bed of rice; this is the stuff dreams are made of! Ditch the regular Rogan Josh for some delectable Goshtaba and Rista. Ahdoos has its own bakery so you can munch on local breads while taking a stroll along river Jhelum in the vicinity. 

Where | Regal Chowk, Residency Road

3. Mughal Darbar

Detailed wood work, glass paintings and murals on the wall lend the restaurant a royal touch. The menu boasts of a host of Kashmiri dishes cooked to perfection. Their Kashmiri Naan and Rista are highly recommended. They totally nail the Haakh and Nadur Yakhni (lotus stem cooked in yoghurt based gravy) so don’t ignore the vegetarian dishes here!

Where | Residency Road

4. Alka Salka

It may not be as famous as the previous two restaurants but Alka Salka holds its ground by offering Kashmiri Wazwan at affordable prices. Though their main course is pretty great, their Chicken Kanti drives it home! It’s not too heavy and makes for a scrumptious snack. Mop up that Goshtaba and Rogan Josh gravy with Keema Naan for a novel experience.

Where | Bund Road, Munshi Bagh

5. Cafe De Linz

This café comes like a breath of fresh air with modern architecture and classy interiors. Bare brick walls and simple lamps give it a casual vibe. Munch on some succulent mutton kebabs or Chicken Kanti or go roaring for their mains like Rista and Biryani. Or you can just enjoy breezy evenings in the outdoor seating area with their juicy Tabak Maaz.

6. Hashim Restaurant
