    Amazing food. Loved the Wazwan. Polite, well mannered and helpful staff. Loved the area where you can sit on the carpet and eat food the traditional Kashmiri way. Will recommend this Restaurant to everyone.

    I came to know about this place through social media. But on trying their mutto curma i realised those people who are talking about this place have never eaten wazwan in a good restaurant which we have in Srinagar. So it's a big no for me. Even broadview in shaheed gunj is far better than this.

    I mostly prefer visiting this place with my family bcos of their services and privacy facility. Good for families. Separate dinning sit out for all. Food is good these days but honestly speaking I enjoyed the quality in my first 2 visits only after that I think the quality of the food was compromised. Need to do some improvements in food quality and taste!! Rest this is the best place for families. All the best guys Rise n Shine

    The best place for Wazwan in Srinagar. Being located in downtown gives it a touch of authencity for the quality of meat and spices used. I experienced consistent quality everytime I visited.

    Nice restaurant if you are fond of local Non veg preparation. Service is very good and fairly priced menu.

  • 4/5 Faisal G. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was good and the service was excellent. The food we ordered was on our table within 10 mins but the only problem i felt was there is Rs. 175 water bottle on the table which according to me is too much to spend on a water bottle plus there is no other option for water except that and in a way we are forced to spend that much on water. A water bottle of Rs. 20 can be a good option and it goes well for everyone. Except that i can it is a must visit place for every food lover because the food, the cleanliness of the place and the service by the staff is excellent.

    We ordered a wazwaan Thali and the food tasted fresh and good . Visited at Breakfast (IFTAARI) time in month of Ramazan and were given dates and basil seed milk as complimentary and this won my heart'..below given are the observations: Pros: * Freshly prepared authentic wazwaan * Good &prompt customer service Cons: *Car Parking issues * Poorly Lit interior * Less availability of food choices Minus 2 stars for cons....

    The dishes were not even up to the mark of some street vendor, Although my previous experience was good, the last takeaway changed it all, seems like they'll deceive you once they have a chance.

    I'm not happy with the quantity of shawarma we had before 2 days... Firstly we had to wait for almost 30 minutes. And then what we received was a roti having some chicken inside of it... Which was having almost half a sheet roll of aluminium foil. A few months ago we had butter chicken over there we were fully satisfied by the quantity. But not this time. I hope you guys are going to work for customer satisfaction not just wrapping more aluminium foils over the meal... But again the shawarma was tasty... I'm just not happy with the quantity. Best of luck 🤞

    Visited first time with my wife. We ordered kab kanti and Malai Chicken. Kabab kanti was too good and tasty.. But Malai chicken was too bad, infact worst. We returned the malai chicken, but to my surprise the had added that too in my bill., then i had to argue with them, how should i pay for that i haven't eaten. And finally then they refunded the bill amount.

    Very nice for having wazwan here. Food is delicious.

  • 4/5 The I. 1 year ago on Google
    Good ambience with lovely kashmiri style sitting option, table dining is also available. Known for traditional kashmiri wazwan. You will get half thali for 600 rupees which comprises of methi, rista, tabak maaz, gushtaab, Rogan Josh. In all the dishes Rista and methi tastes like real wazwan, other dishes are okayish.

👍👍 This place has become one of the best and most famous cafès in Srinagar area.

Lot of improvement in terms of decor as well as food variety and taste...
