Kashmash by Fahd

I am vegetarian and the veg options were just too good!! I think about it and still drool! The flavours in all the dishes like katte baigan, al yakani, gucchi tujji (barbecued morel mushrooms), nadru (lotus stem) kababs were just amazing. The Kashmiri tandoori paneer was outstanding too! All this with the Lavasa nan and their walnut chutney and pickled onion.. uff too yummy! The non veg food is also to die for.. With such a cozy atmosphere surrounded by greenery.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Home Away From Home in Goa My wife and I return to Kashmash every time we’re in Goa—it’s become our go‑to dinner spot for comfort, warmth, and unforgettable food. Nestled by the lush green marshlands of Siolim, the ambience here feels like a cozy Kashmiri garden away from the bustle of Goa. What truly sets this place apart is the dedication of Fahaad, the chef‑owner, who infuses every dish with the flavours and care of a homestyle Kashmiri kitchen. His cooking is a true art, and you can taste the soul in every bite. We especially love the mutton yakhni—a luxurious yoghurt‑based mutton curry that is delicately spiced and melts in your mouth—and the Marchwangan Korma (or michiwangi korma), which strikes the perfect balance of fragrant spices and tangy red chilli warmth. Every dish here feels like a hug—simple, homey, and deeply comforting. The Tabakhmaaz (fried mutton ribs with walnut chutney) is also a standout appetizer, deeply flavourful and authentic Kashmiri tanginess. The ambience is equally soothing—the tranquil swamp views and serene marshland backdrop complement the soulful cuisine beautifully. Soft music, wooden décor with Kashmiri accents, and warm lighting make every evening feel special. In short: If you’re craving truly authentic Kashmiri flavours in Goa—with a chef whose passion shines through and an atmosphere that feels like home—Kashmash is the place. We love it, and can’t wait to go back again. ——— Posted with love ❤️ and a craving for more yakhni!

Kashmash …isn’t just a meal … it’s an experience that feels like stepping into a Kashmiri home…where every dish is prepared with love, memory, and a deep sense of tradition. The food carries the warmth of Fahad’s mum’s nostalgic recipes… each bite infused with heritage and stories of the valley... From the delicate flavours to the soulful aromas, everything feels personal … as though you are being welcomed at a family table. The ambience is simple, warm, and rooted…making you slow down, connect, and savor. The laughter, conversations, and the lovingly set table complete the experience, making it not just about food, but about togetherness and culture. Kashmash is where home-style cooking meets soulful storytelling — a reminder that the most beautiful meals are the ones made with love and shared with heart…

While Goa and Kashmir are both amazing in their own place and right, but to be able to be transported to Kashmir while you are in Goa in truly a DIVINE experience. The Place and atmosphere is serene - be it day or night. The Food is superlative - not too heavy or too spicy but hits just right. The Service is impeccable with Chef / owner Fahd always around to regale with tales of his childhood in Kashmir and his mother's recipes. A MUST do on the Goa food trail.

This small family run Restaurant is probably the only authentic kashmiri cuisine Restaurant in Goa. For those of us who may not have the good fortune to visit Kashmir, this Restaurant is the perfect place for enjoying the unique cuisine of Kashmir. I believe changes are made to the menu every 2 weeks but the regular dishes are there everyday. The location of the Restaurant is in a scenic quiet part of Siolim but very easily accessible by road. The ambience inside is simple yet very charming. They also do catering for home parties. Surprise your guests in Goa with some excellent Kashmir cuisine.

Trust me, this is some of the best food you’ll ever eat! Tabakmaas is pure heaven — every dish is packed with flavor and made with so much love. It’s a proper taste of Kashmir right here in Goa. Thank you Fahd & Chola for one of the yummiest meals I’ve ever had!

This restaurant is a true gem. The food is authentic and absolutely delicious, prepared with such care and flavor. The place has a welcoming charm, with beautiful surroundings and gorgeous views that make the whole experience even more special. A perfect spot to enjoy Kashmiri cuisine at its finest!

Every time me and my husband are in Goa, Kashmash is our little tradition for dinner. It’s one of those rare places that feels like stepping into a home kitchen filled with love and warmth. Chef-owner Fahd is truly gifted—his Kashmiri cooking is soulful, comforting, and absolutely unforgettable. I’m especially in love with the mutton yakhni—it’s so delicately spiced and creamy—and the mirchiwangi korma, which has this beautiful, deep flavor that keeps me coming back. Every dish here feels like it’s made with heart and it’s always a highlight of our trips. The ambience makes it even more special; dining while looking out at the lush Goan swamp is serene and calming. It’s the perfect setting to slow down and enjoy a lovingly prepared meal. We both adore this place and can’t imagine a Goa trip without at least one evening at Kashmash. Thank you, Fahd, for making every visit feel like a warm hug through food. ❤
