Kashmir

Kashmir brings a warm slice of Pakistani hospitality to Bristol, where vibrant plates and an easygoing pulse set the tone.

A hospitable team, cute touches and a relaxed, enjoyable room make it the kind of spot where lunch can drift into supper. Their much-loved lassi adds a sweet, cooling refrain that regulars swear by.

The cooking roams confidently from the grill to the handi. Begin with the crackle of poppadoms and a bright chutney tray, before continuing with bright starters from crispy fish pakora to juicy, marinated chicken tikka in spiced yogurt.

Slow-simmered handi curries deliver depth: velvety butter chicken, an aromatic Kashmiri Rogan Josh in spiced yoghurt, and meat-free comforts like paneer palak or soothing tarka daal. Fragrant biryani and warm naan invite the final swipe of sauce.

An inviting, vibrant space, it suits everything from quick catch-ups to weddings and corporate gatherings, all underpinned by fresh ingredients and cool, attentive service.

Whether dropping in for masala fries and raita or settling in for a slow feast, Kashmir keeps things effortless and convivial. Book in, raise a glass of lassi, and let the spice do the talking.
