SrinagarGood evening.

The Wazwan.

Thirty-six courses, one copper trami — the feast Kashmir is named for.

Begin the feast

Need help?

Waza is here.

A concierge that has eaten everywhere and slept nowhere — ask it anything about Kashmir.

The Royal Table of Kashmir

Unveil the Wazwan.

Kashmir’s grandest feast, course by course.

Chapter I — The Table

Four rooms hold a century of taste.

Not a list — a seating. Scroll, and be walked from table to table.

Table 01 — EST. 1918

Ahdoos

Where Srinagar has eaten since 1918.

A century-old dining room on Residency Road that taught generations what a proper Rogan Josh should taste like. Unhurried, unchanged, unmistakable.

Enter the dining room

Table 02 — WAZWAN HOUSE

Mughal Darbar

The wedding feast, every single day.

Wazas work the copper degs from dawn — the same courses served at Kashmiri weddings, plated for a table of two. Gushtaba here ends arguments.

Enter the dining room

Table 03 — FINE DINING

Clove

The art of dining, facing the Zabarwan.

Modern Kashmiri fine dining — heritage recipes composed like paintings, served in a room of walnut wood and candlelight beneath the mountains.

Enter the dining room

Table 04 — LAKESIDE

Shamyana

Dinner beside the still water.

A boulevard institution where houseboat lights flicker across your table. Come at dusk, order Yakhni, and let the lake do the talking.

The full ledger

Every table, by destination.

Chapter II — The Code of the Trami

Four strangers. One plate.

I
Wash first.
The tash-naer comes to you before the food — warm water poured over your hands. Nothing touches the rice before the water touches you.
II
Eat from your quarter.
The trami feeds four. Your wedge is yours alone; the far side belongs to a stranger — and to their trust in you.
III
The eldest breaks first.
No hand reaches before the senior one. Rank at the trami is measured in years, never in wealth.
IV
Never refuse the gushtaba.
The last course is the host's honour, pounded smooth by hand for hours. Declining it ends more than the meal.

Take your seat

Chapter III — The Craft

Four ingredients carry the valley.

A constellation of handmade things. Every point is a story your table depends on.

Pampore · The Karewa Plateaus

Saffron

One flower gives three threads. It takes a hundred and sixty flowers to fill a single gram — grown on Pampore's plateaus for over two thousand years, and still picked at dawn, by hand.

Chapter VI — The Seasons

Scroll, and let time pass.

The same valley, four different masterpieces. Watch it turn.

Spring · March — May

The valley wakes in tulips.

Mustard fields run gold to the mountains; mornings smell of blossom and wet earth.

Summer · June — August

Meadows climb to the snowline.

Rivers loud with meltwater, shepherds moving higher, days that refuse to end.

Autumn · September — November

The chinars catch fire.

Orchards heavy with apples; every avenue burns amber, copper and rust.

Winter · December — February

Snow rewrites the valley.

Frozen lakes, pine forests hushed white, kangri embers glowing indoors.

One Valley.
Four Masterpieces.

No matter when you arrive, Kashmir has another story waiting.
