Kashmiri Cuisine at your door steps
Recently opened Kashmiri Restaurant 'Poush'- Essence of Kashmir in Andheri is the brainchild of a hotelier Shri Om Takoo. The elevational architecture of the restaurant, for which craftsmen were brough right away from Kashmir, resembles that of a traditionally done up Houseboat, with slanted pinewood shingling in typical Kashmiri style. Traditional Krewel-embroidered wall hangings and Kangdis used as flower vases and Kashmiri music in the background creates the perfect Kashmiri ambience. A special thing to mention, is the Khutumbandi ceiling inside, perhaps the only one of its kind in Mumbai. A Shikara by the side of the restaurant, crafted to provide you that 'surfing effect' while you have your meals the Kashmiri style, adds beauty to the whole conception. The menu enlists mainly Kashmiri Pandit
dishes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. 'Poush' makes use of recipes
that are generations old. The cooking medium is only mustard oil, to retain
'that' originality. Food is served in copper pots by attendants in Pheran.
Steaming hot Kahwa is served in Samovars. All this speaks volumes about
the owner's passion for Kashmir. 'Poush' also offers home delivery within
city limits at a nominal charge and theme party catering. Address: 17,
Mayfair Oberoi Complex, Off Link Road, Near SABe TV, Andheri (W). Tel:
56970825, 56994553.
