"JJ Foods in Srinagar is where you experience a proper Kashmiri Wazwan. The Rogan Josh was deeply spiced and the Gushtaba at the end — minced mutton in yogurt gravy — is unlike anything I've eaten anywhere else in India."

"Mughal Darbar at Lal Chowk is the first place locals send you for Kashmiri food in Srinagar. The Dum Aloo is rich and spiced with whole cardamom and the Kashmiri Naan with cream and dry fruits is a combination I didn't expect to love this much."

"Waking up on a houseboat at Nigeen Lake with Kashmiri Kahwa and puri bhaji is the kind of Kashmir morning that stays with you. The saffron and almond kahwa brewed fresh is nothing like the packaged version. Request homemade breakfast in advance."

"Baba Sweets near Hazratbal Dargah in Srinagar does the Halwa Paratha combination that locals eat for breakfast. Suji halwa sweet and salted crispy paratha — the contrast works perfectly. Simple, filling, and very Kashmiri."

"Eating Maggi on a Shikara in the middle of Dal Lake in Srinagar is one of those experiences that sounds gimmicky but genuinely isn't. The kahwa alongside is warm and the lake around you makes everything taste better. Eat fast — it gets cold quickly."

"Char Chinar Island on Dal Lake is reached by Shikara and the Kahwa there with the chinar trees around you is a proper Kashmir moment. Carry cash — digital payments don't work on the island and the stall only takes notes."

"Raja Dhaba on the Sonmarg road is the right stop before the snow activities. Hot pakodas and strong tea with mountain views on every side — simple food but the setting makes it memorable. Go early before the tourist rush."

"Moonlight in Srinagar makes walnut fudge with local Kashmiri walnuts and dates. Rich, dense, and not overly sweet. Bought two boxes as gifts from Kashmir and both were finished before I could give them away."

"Janta Bakery in Srinagar is a good quick stop near the market area. The chicken roll was well-spiced and the coconut cookie with tea is the combination locals recommend. Small bakery, limited seating, but the snacks are fresh."

"Nathu's near Dal Lake in Srinagar is where you go when the family wants something familiar after days of Kashmiri food. The rajma chawal is comforting and the pani puri is decent. Good budget option near the lake for a quick lunch."
