A pure-vegetarian landmark on the main market, open since 2002, known for its Kashmiri vegetarian thali and rice pudding phirni; one of the busiest restaurants in Pahalgam.
Located on Pahalgam's main market beside the Hotel Pahalgam, it opened in 2002 and serves pure vegetarian food. Its signature is the Kashmiri vegetarian thali, which includes nadroo yakhni (lotus stem in yogurt sauce), kidney beans, fried eggplant and Kashmiri cheese, along with the house thali and Kashmiri rice pudding (phirni). Kadhi khichdi and saffron kulfi are also recommended. Queues are common at mealtimes. Reviewers say prices are slightly high and quality varies occasionally. It is a short walk from the taxi stand.
