Café Kashmir – Srinagar’s New-Age Chai Spaces

Srinagar, hitherto famous for its stunning Dal Lake panoramas and conventional wazwan feasts, is now treating itself to something new—handicraft café culture with Himalayan origins and international café designs.

Step into the new-age cafés of Srinagar, and you’ll find more than the hum of espresso machines. You’ll find Kashmiri walnut cakes alongside vegan chocolate tarts, saffron milk cappuccinos topped with cinnamon foam, and yes—wazwan-inspired pizzas baked in wood-fired ovens.
