About this restaurant

Vegetarian-friendly
Neighborhood gem
Romantic

For close to twenty years, Kashmir’s sunny brick patio, with the aroma of Indian spices wafting through the air, has been a staple of Boston’s famed Newbury Street. Bostonians convene over tandoor oven specialties, fresh fish or seafood, and sauce-simmered meats. Indoor seating is enhanced by Indian calligraphy and a blend of classic and contemporary Indian art.

Kashmir’s moderate prices mean you can taste some of the most exotic flavor combinations imaginable from classic family recipes during both lunch and dinner.

Whether you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Boston, shopping on Newbury, or out with friends, relax and enjoy yourself at Kashmir!

Chicken was under cooked hence the lower grade on food. In the past this was not an issue.

Excellent food. But the atmosphere inside is not well thought out. The lighting is horrible: bright and hard lighting! It’s easily fixable by turning the light down and diffusing it. A couple of fake candles on the tables can even improve the mood drastically. The food is truly excellent, which is why I go there. But this place can be so much better with just a little better lighting and mood control. We had a great meal though.

Overall the experience was very good. However when I got to the restaurant my reservation has been canceled after I have been confirmed by OpenTable. I spoke with the manager on duty and he did honor the reservation.

We are never disappointed with our visits to Kashmir! The food is consistently excellent and the service is always great. We had apricot naan this meal which was amazing - we've never seen it on a menu before and loved it! The rack of lamb tandoori was also a treat. Thank you for another wonderful meal :)
