Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Known for the chicken tandoori (which was lovely) but the star was the Mutton. Soft and tender to the bone. Perfect amount of fat and needed nothing extra but some lime. Yogurt is especially fresh and the butter naan we had was beautiful in texture. Thank you to Saiful for the impeccable service and passion for your cuisine. You made it a wonderful experience for us.
Worth what you pay for, a must-go when in Penang.

We had a wonderful dining experience!! The owner received us, and it felt like we were dining at his home. The food has such great variety and explosion of flavors. The Tandoori chicken is really the best in the world. We highly recommend eating here and hopefully you can meet the owner, who made the experience so much more authentic for us.

Some say it's too expensive, but the quality is very very high. The tandoori chicken is not very filling, but if you like Indian food, you'll love this place. Make sure to visit in the evening on an outside seating area when it's not too hot. You'll feel the Penang vibe.

Had the best tandoori chicken ever! Moist and juicy where most places are dry. Very very tasty that we had to order another tandoori chicken. But the owner, Mr. Mohan was very kind that he ordered for us half a chicken and half of mutton ribs. Mutton ribs were simply delicious and juicy. Thank you, Mr. Mohan, Shamir and Team! Sadly we are leaving for KL today but definitely will be back in the future. Kashmir is going to be our must-go destination in Penang. Friendly environment, we feel like family! Worth every RM we spent, i kid you not!

Loved this place. Slightly quirky. They say they are the best tandoori or money back. Really tender and succulent. Greeted by grandma; followed up be a lovely elegant daughter/ daughter in law. Friendly and a bit different. We're at our annual visit to the E&O so will come back.

This is not a kashmiri restaurant, kashmiri is my home town and they don't have a single dish from kashmiri, they dont even know what saffron is , just using the name to make money, tourist trap.

There is nothing that faults this iconic restaurant.
From the service (which is the best in the world), the food is Michelin star quality, the owners are the best and all of this sums up why Kashmir has been the best in the game for so long.
Located in the heart of Georgetown, Kashmir is a must that everyone should visit for their mouth-watering food, plus to experience service like no other.
We can't wait to be back and thank you so much for everything.
P.s the sign out the front is not just a sign....they really do have the best tandoori chicken in the world.

This restaurant was recommended by Elaine a lovely lady we met in a shopping Mall! Thanks Elaine we had an amazing meal!
Some people have previously said this restaurant is expensive, but I would say this is not a food court or street food, but it is a beautiful restaurant and the food is freshly made to order!
We were recommended food which enabled us to make an informed choice as to what we had.
Elaine had also recommended the Tandoori chicken and after discussing with the chef about spice levels (which for me was very mild !) we had the tandoori chicken and fish curry with Garlic Naan and saffron rice.
This was the nicest and tastiest chicken I have had since being in Malaysia and it was hot (not spicy hot), along with the Naan and the Saffron rice it has to be my best meal yet!
Better still as I had been a real wimp with my spice levels the chef brought out more chicken with more spice! I was a bit worried but actually I loved it - so a big thank you for allowing us to try this! And I am also pleased to say we were not charged for this!
Overall an amazing meal, friendly staff and yes a little more expensive but we felt good value for the meal we had! Beer is not cheap in Malaysia anywhere!

For lunch we headed to Kashmir to have some tandoori chicken. The owner welcomed us heartily and recognized my brother who had been there before. We ordered drinks and the tandoori chicken with a side of garlic and a side of cheese naan. Also some vegetable pakora. Instead of placing the serving on the table and letting us serve ourselves, they served us. The server came around with the dish and portioned our individual servings. The owner also made suggestions on how to eat the dishes and spooned it onto our plates. It was interesting and kinda like being at a friend's house.
The pakora was tasty and not hard from over frying. The tandoori chicken was tender and moist. He liked it a lot. Said it was the best he's had. My brother said they're known for this dish. The garlic naan had actual slices of garlic in it. The meal was delicious and it was worth stopping by. The owner even took photos for his customers of them standing in front of the restaurant. This included us and it was fun to have a photo to remember the meal. Street parking.

This somewhat odd-feeling restaurant located on a triangular spit of converging streets has very good food. I came in expecting to order tandoori chicken or one of the other things that so many people had recommended, but I let the hostess convince me that I really should order the basmati shrimp, which was excellent and I would order again.
The well-worn restaurant, a few steps above street level, has a decent-sized dining room and a wrap-around porch with a number of small tables. At least when I was here, the dining room had wide open doors on either side letting in a good cross-breeze to compliment the fans and, I think, low-level air conditioning. The windows and porch look over a good-sized intersection -- looking up the street in the direction of Chowrasta Market, a couple of blocks away -- which currently separates the restaurant from an occasionally very loud construction site. (The latter brings the plus side of getting to watch heavy equipment operate while you eat, though.) On the mid-afternoon that I was here, the staff was forcing everyone to eat at the small tables on the outside porch, which I thought was odd, particularly since it was a toasty day and the sun was steadily eating away at the shade on the porch. (Fortunately, all the diners were singletons or pairs. I really wanted a larger group to show up to see if they too would be forced to the small outdoor tables or if they would merit the cooler inner sanctum.)
The staff was friendly and helpful. I did get a sense of their possibly recommending the more pricey options on the menu as I talked through it with them, but that may have been my imagination.

I've had the pleasure of eating here twice on trips to Penang. The hole in the wall vibe is enhanced by truly legendary wallpaper, and the location on the corner offers the feeling of being in the center of town, especially when sitting outside on the veranda. I've enjoyed every dish I've eaten, but the most memorable highlight has to be the mutton vindaloo - as good as I've had anywhere!

Best Indian food I've had in Malaysia by far. Lovely staff and low prices. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.
