Putney will become home to London’s first specialist Kashmiri restaurant this month.

The 55-seat Kashmir – A Culinary Paradise restaurant and takeaway will open in Lacy Road at the end of May, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes including signatures such as Kabargah – ribs of lamb boiled in milk with Kashmiri spices and then deep fried in ghee.

Husband and wife Rohit and Shweta Razdan, originally from Kashmir, started the business as a catering service before opening a restaurant in New Delhi and moving it to Singapore in 2007, where they counted Jools Holland as a returning customer.

The couple will directly manage the Putney restaurant.

Chef Rohit said: “We are here to make our customers come back for more, so we ensure a courteous service to win their hearts along with their palates.

“Our prices are quite moderate and portions are filling. Both the locals and the tourists will be charmed by the truly authentic spread of Kashmiri cuisine that is hard to find.

“We are keen to make every dining experience of our patrons a truly luscious moment. We are sure to shine bright in the Galaxy of Indian Restaurants in London.”
