Kareema Restaurant
In the vibrant tapestry of India’s restaurant scene, Kareema Restaurant in Srinagar stands as a fragrant thread woven from saffron, walnut and the slow warmth of wood-fired tandoor. Tucked amid the lake-city’s floating gardens and ancient shrines, it quietly preserves recipes that travelled the Silk Road, blending Kashmiri wazwan with Mughal finesse, turning every meal into a languid, spice-laced conversation with history.
