    Shamyana restaurant is located at a great place on the bank of Dal Lake. Ambiance/Atmosphere is not good. It gives zero vibe. Food was not tasty at all. If I have to rate food I would give 2 stars out of 10. Service was slow. No one showed up for first 15 mins. Later they were gentleman 😹. Overall I will rate it 3 stars.

    Yes, there is a change. The service and food quality has definitely improved. I saw few locals but many tourists enjoying dinner at Shamyana when I visited it last weekend. We were at Shamyana again last evening for dinner. It was late evening actually and the restaurant was full with visiting tourists and locals enjoying dinner on the second day of Eid festival. The food was excellent and the service too has improved, i mean the waiting time. but, there is a need for further improvement. We went there for dinner on Saturday last. The restaurant is located on the banks of Dal Lake in the heart of summer capital Srinagar. The place was brimming with activity with so many local and tourists enjoying their dinner. A group of tourist busy in birthday celebration of their younger daughter. We found the place very comfortable and had delicious food. The biryani was very good so was the Afghani chicken. Overall nice experience.

    Don't expect to get your favorite food. Staff always look at tourists as a funny chac. Not at all helping people. because they only talk punjabi. Any one talking english are alieans.. To be frank too over priced. No courtesy at all from mgmt and poor staff. I saw staff begging for ther worked money and owner scolds and send back. Not sure like staff may spit in our food. Send my feedacks to all visit in kashmir.

    One of the worst service & talk about chicken fried rice, they instead give egg rice. Totally poor service. Better to change the staff.

    Good food & nice ambience but price it bit high not recommended for middle class & budget travellers

  • 1/5 Rifat A. 1 year ago on Google
    The room was okay but this β€œ3-star” hotel does not accept international cards. For some reason, only Indian cards are accepted here. Apparently, they expect foreigners to pay them thousands in cash. Also, their Wi-Fi in the room doesn't work. It just connects, and that's it. To make things worse, their dining restaurant and other parts of the hotel don't have any wi-fi whatsoever. There is nothing commendable about their staff behavior as well, especially the reception staff.

  • 4/5 Dipesh S. 8 months ago on Google
    Had dinner here with a friend and had a good time. Location is good, on Dal lake and food and service is also good. If you are looking for a fine dining restaurant which is less noisy then this is the place. Others which I saw were noisy and some were in open. But here we have open seating and closed as well.

  • 1/5 Mohammad I. 6 months ago on Google
    Went for dinner. Service terrible. You have to search for waiter . He takes order , brings and fizzes away. Now for anything more you have to go for another waiter. 1.Order Kashmiri pulaaw.. totally average preparation. 2.Mutton kabab. Kabab were not hand made but had come from directly from factory. Very thin size and would break down completely on slight cut. Onions with kabab were totally uncooked. Absolutely gutter preparation. 3. Lastly when I went to bill after pathetic half an hour there, a new waiter followed me with POS machine and literally ordered me to enter TIP amount on the machine. I told him to shut up. Paid my overcharged bill and left . Very bad experience

    We were here for lunch. Food is simply awesome. We ordered Gustaba, Rogan Josh, Chicken Pudina. Everything was rich creamy and super tasty. If you have time during Srinagar visit, it is definitely worth trying food here.

  • 4/5 Anubhav R. 7 months ago on Google
    this review is for the restaurant not sure why some people are complaining about food quality.. i personally liked the food.. the quantity and taste were great.. we ordered mirchi korma which had well cooked pieces of mutton, a very tasty kashmiri pulao and handi dal.. all good couldn't take photos as the mirchi korma was too appealing.. surely a place to visit again.. staff should smile a bit.. they seem very serious..

  • 2/5 Uzma D. 5 months ago on Google
    Food is not good at all. Had the worst "marchangan korma" of life. The ambiance also is not that good.

  • 1/5 Imtiyaz K. 3 months ago on Google New
    The food quality was not upto the mark, considering the price of the food the quality was just pathetic. Infact I was compelled to ask for the return. I would not recommend it for anyone

  • 4/5 Jitesh G. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall a good stay , spacious rooms with Lake View (do opt in for those). Never saw such big rooms throughout my whole kashmir trip. Even Interiors are Decent & pleasing to eyes. The restaurant is the Best out of those options on Dal lake road,they have majority guests coming for Meals.Service is good. Remember it is not a hotel but a lodge so remember not to take breakfast option with your meal if you stay here as limited option (egg,toast,milk,tea only is there in same ). Nearby are decent options for breakfast here you can have it even in early morning. Will strongly recommend to stay here.

  • 4/5 Hedayath A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best quality food. Little bit expensive.. Service quality very bad..the staff takes lot of time for bringing the orders.wasted our one hour

  • 4/5 Majid H. 1 year ago on Google
    I had dinner in the restaurant. I had non-veg Kashmiri Pallou (had chicken and two different kinds of meat). It was delicious and a lot. I couldn't finish it. The rest I took out and gave to a begger. I would love to go back and try other Kashmiri dishes.

  • 1/5 Dream C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had dinner there with my friends. We ordered 2 biryanis, one kebab plate and 1 plain Nan along with 2 dew cans and they charged us with a whopping 1700rs bill. It was a total waste of money since this much food would have cost only around 800-900 at any good restaurant. Food was not as tasty and the total waste of money.

  • 1/5 Praveen J. 1 year ago on Google
    We call room service in the evening time for water. But they disconnected the call 5-6 times...i buy water bottle 3-4 times outside the market store. But they cannot give proper service to me. And morning time I call through my mobile number hotel number direct then one room service guy coming he said sir our landline number is not working some times. Very uncooperative staff Food was too much expensive. I never suggest to book this hotel. Breakfast available but only in your room. 300 break amount they mention in room lobby note. And we paid approx 700 per head.... In 300 we get 4 pcs Bread butter 2 omlette and 2 tea only. No buffet system in the hotel. I suggest to everyone please do not book this hotel if you like location. They charge too much amount as per the service and hotel.

  • 5/5 Sudharsan K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in Srinagar, the Mutton tikka is out of this world. Everything I've tried in the menu was well above excellence, would visit Srinagar again just for their food!

  • 4/5 Nirupam C. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is very authentic. Huge dinning space. Well trained staffs. Service is good. Wide variety of kashmiri and other food available including fish. They hv huge variety of tikka items.

  • 3/5 bharat v. 1 year ago on Google
    Place was crowded... Some dishes were good but some were below average... Kashmiri pulao we tried was not at all good. However it seems to be a renowned place in Srinagar.

  • 5/5 Kamran M. 1 year ago on Google
    Shamyana can be counted as among the top restaurants in Kashmir, particularly the Dal gate area. They always serve fresh and amazing finger licking food and the service staff is also friendly and helpful. The restaurant also has an ample parking area for visitors which is also well managed by the parking staff. The place is usually full more during lunch/dinner hours but not too crowded that people are cramped up.

  • 4/5 Danny C. 11 months ago on Google
    We just visited the restaurant. Good food from the kitchen or the grill with huge portions. They have good seating options inside or out. Definitely get their signature dessert, the walnut sundae

  • 5/5 Sayed Mustafa H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to dine alone or with friends and family. It is maintained pretty well, kept clean and the staff does not let down. To sum up, delicious food at great value.

  • 1/5 iram m. 1 year ago on Google
    I didn't stay ... We had a dinner in the restaurant -Sleepy service, poor food quality, and when we asked why it was like this they stated that it's that way, yet the restaurant was damn near empty. Would give it a zero if I could. Hostess stand was rude. If you ask them best dishes they say all are and give you the menu ... Choose from it ... I asked for Mexican and Italian (lol) they said we don't have that food ... It's just for the show .... Noone orders it show we have variety. That was funny .... Jo chalta wahi banata hai .... I asked for colddrink and said which one do they sell ... They said all ... I ordered limca ... Service guy said only have one that is coke 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣 Would never recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Sangram R. 1 year ago on Google
    We came here only to dine. The food is outstanding. We were staying in the Houseboats but ended up coming to Shamyana for lunches and dinners everyday.....Best place to eat in Srinagar. Can't comment about rooms since we didn't stay here.

  • 1/5 Shubham K. 1 year ago on Google
    Never eat there if you want to eat vegetarian food. More than the fact that they have a common kitchen and common utensils, the attitude of staff in respect of vegetarians is despicable. I asked one of their executives if they had separate kitchens for veg and non veg, and here is how the guy responded sarcastically: "Sir, humare kitchens same hai, bartan bhi hum same use karte hai. Veg ka oil non-veg mein aur non-veg ka veg mein daalte hai" "Aap mazak kar rahe ho mujhse?", I asked surprisingly. He again said with a hyena smile, "nhi sir, humara sab same hai. Baaki aap dekh lo." I called the driver and left the place with my family after this humiliation from people who serve in hospitality! Decide yourself if you want to eat at a place where people take you for so granted and if you want to give your money to them or not. Who knows which animal non-vegetarians are eating there and even paying without have any idea.

    Sumptuous food and moderately priced. Tasty food with a wide choice to order from. staff is courteous. clean bathrooms. Parking available. Opp the water front, so scenic

  • 5/5 Ahtsham Ul H. 1 year ago on Google
    In love with this restaurant. Located near Dal Lake, having a beautiful view of Dal Lake. Staff is very cooperative and their meals are just awesome.

  • 5/5 Lalit T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to have a delicious Wazwan (Kashmiri cuisine). Located pretty much in center of happenings, it's ideal for a family meal. Well groomed and responsive Service, delicious food (mid sized portions) fairly priced menu. Vegetarians may have difficulty due to limited choice available.
