About Us.
Our Legacy
Rooted in the heart of Kashmir, our culinary tradition is a story passed down through generations — one of warmth, hospitality, and soul-satisfying flavors. Each dish we serve is more than just food; it’s a celebration of our heritage, crafted with age-old recipes, handpicked spices, and the love that filled the kitchens of our ancestors. From the rich aroma of Rogan Josh to the comfort of Yakhni, our legacy is built on authenticity and the deep cultural pride that comes with every bite.
Our Agenda
As we bring our restaurant to the world, our goal is simple: to share the true essence of Kashmiri cuisine and culture with everyone. We want to create a space where tradition meets modern dining, where people from all backgrounds can come together to experience the richness of our food and stories. Through community engagement, sustainable practices, and a deep respect for our roots, our agenda is to grow not just as a restaurant, but as cultural ambassadors of Kashmir’s timeless culinary legacy.
Our Inspiration
What inspires us is the unmatched depth of Kashmiri culture — its flavors, resilience, and the sense of belonging that food brings. We’re driven by the desire to preserve this legacy while opening it up to new places and people. Every time someone tastes Wazwan for the first time or recognizes a flavor from home, we’re reminded of why we started: to create connections through culture and to honor the beauty of where we come from.
History
Kashmiri cuisine has a rich and diverse history shaped by centuries of cultural exchange, migration, and regional traditions. It blends influences from Central Asia, Persia, and North India, resulting in a unique culinary identity. The food is known for its deep flavors, generous use of spices like saffron, fennel, and dry ginger, and slow-cooked dishes that emphasize depth and richness. While Wazwan represents the grand ceremonial side of Kashmiri food, everyday meals in the region also feature comforting dishes like haak (collard greens), nadru (lotus stem), and rice — a staple in nearly every household.
Over time, different communities in Kashmir — including Kashmiri Pandits, Muslims, and Buddhists — have all contributed to the cuisine, each adding their own ingredients, cooking techniques, and traditions. This cultural layering has given Kashmiri food its balance of bold and subtle flavors, and a harmony that reflects the region’s spirit. Despite modern influences, the core of Kashmiri food remains deeply traditional, passed down through generations with a strong sense of pride and identity.
