Kashmiri cuisine at KongPoush is superb!
Mumbaikars are the luckiest lot! A city where you get variety of food, Mumbai has been introduced to Kashmiri delicacies through KongPoush which serves authentic Kashmiri food and as a Kashmiri I can vouch for the same and as a person coming from Delhi I can just envy them as the food that you get at KongPoush is not available even in the capital.
I am in Mumbai for a short trip and last evening we were planning to eat out. Being a fussy eater, I expect good food to be served at restaurants and coming from Delhi where you get the best of North Indian food my friend suggested few names but when he told me about Kashmiri cuisine I was keen on giving it a shot!
It was love at first sight for me coz as soon as I entered the restaurant with its Kashmiri look bowled me over. The seating arrangement in real looking shikaras is unique and we made ourselves comfortable as we read the menu. Right from washing our hands in the tash-t-nari to serving of Kahwa in samovars, pictures from the valley and Kashmiri folk music in the background – they all impressed me.
Then came the most important part – the food. The Goshtaba, Rista, Methi Maaz, Seekh Kabab, Tamatar Kokur, Nadir Palak and Mujih Chatin which was all served in a thaal was deliciously Kashmiri. My vegetarian friend was also relishing his food. We ended our feast with desserts – Phirni, Shufta and Kahwa.
I thanked my friend for a memorable evening and even met the passionate Kashmiri owner Sunil Mattoo and applauded his sincere efforts of creating Kashmiri ambience and authentic food. My suggestion to this young enterprising owner would be to start a similar restaurant in Delhi too.

Very Good
After reading about it in Burrp and having so many positive reviews I thought of visiting the place with my family. They should do some attractive things outside the restaurant so that it becomes an eye catcher. I have been traveling daily up down on that road but never noticed this place only after I read about in burrp I came to know. This Place is wonderful they have made good shikaras and all.
1. Ambiance = Two type of sitting chair and shikara, shikaras are low sitting on cushion Mattress. Ambiance is very good; they have tried to create a small Kashmir inside ;)
2. Music = they play soft kashmiri folk music
3. Service = the best part was their service, I had gone there on 15th August 2008, in the afternoon and there were no body in the restaurant only my table. all meals were quick just order and in minutes they serve
4. Food = food was great, different type you can even feel the taste of spice and herbs in the food, well I have my bill in my hand so I will write down all that I ate to get the brief idea of the price
• Kokur Raas (Chicken Soup) = Rs 69/-
• Kokur Kanti (Chicken Starter – Much like chicken barbeque ) = Rs 139/-
• Razmah Dal = Rs 99
• Kong Poush Kokur (Chicken Main course bit spice dark brown in colour ) = Rs139/-
• Kokur Yakhin (Chicken Main course good one medium spicy made in yoghurt) = Rs 139/-
• Tandoori roti = Rs 15/- Each
• Kong Poush Batta (Saffron Rice) = Rs89/-
• Kahwa (Herbal tea – without milk) = Rs 29/-
• Kong Phirni (Sweet Dish) = Rs 49/-
• Shufta (Sweet Dish) = Rs 69
• Mujih Chatin ( Raita ) = Rs 49/-
Huhhh all meal done tummy full. Feels good after good service, food and ambiance

Heaven in Mumbai-Kashmiri experience
If there is a heaven on Earth - this is it ! this is it!! this is it!!! jehangir said this about Kashmir.
Kong Poush makes you say these words again with the Mumbai context.
I recently visited Kashmir on an official trip and was introduced to some exotic cuisine (mainly non-veg) there, and was looking forward to my next trip when I could experience this again.
And now we have Kong Poush - just a walk away from my house. It is authentic Kashmiri food at its best.
The entrance is small and it looks like a small eatery from outside, but then you are shown the way up the stairs where you feel as if you have moved into some movie set of Kashmir. Shikara's , baithaks, and very comfortable seating arrangement.
KONG POUSH means a saffron Flower, and we did justice to the saffron by ordering a Kong Poush Batta - saffron flavoured rice(more on that later)
They have a spread of both veg and non-veg thaals (thaali ) and also the wazwaan - a 36 course served in Muslim marriages in Kashmir.
We ordered Goshtaba- a dish made in curd gravy (yellowish-whitish) with pounded meat balls - it is a blissfully experience as you bite into the meatballs. Then we ordered Kong Poush Kokur - kokur means chicken and this was made in a red gravy . We savoured this with crisp lacchedaar parathas and naans, followed by the saffron falvoured rice. All this tastes so good that you want the tastes of these to linger in your mouth forever.
For veg eaters - My friend ordered a Veg Thaal - and the quantities were just enough for a satisfying experience I was told. The veg thaali had raajmah, Paneer , Lotus stem palak dish, tsok wangun (brinjals cooked in a tamarind gravy ) which reminded my friend - 'Maa ka banaaya hua ahcaari baingan'
We finished our food with indulging into sweets with Phirni and Shufta(rich dry fruits , coconuts, raisins, dates and khus-khus cooked in a sweet syrup served hot) - we actually mixed the Phirni and shufta and the combination was awesome.
Don't worry if you will be able to digest all this or not, because a hot cup of kehwa (kashmiri aromatic green tea with cinnamon, cardamom, walnuts, almonds and saffron) in the end does the magic.
We already have listed out the new dishes we will try during our next visit - which will be SOON.
The staff is very courteous and if you want to have a splendid kashmiri food experience - I will recommend you to go and try this place out.
Price: A good Kashmiri experience average - Rs.350/- per head.

Mom loved the kahwa
Kong Poush is the re-incarnation of a place called Poush that was located in Shastri Nagar in its previous birth. They've tried to recreate the same Shikara ambiance as before, with some decent amount of success. Unlike the outdoorsy older place, the new one is located entirely indoors. You have to take a flight of stairs to the first floor to reach the dining area.
Took my family last night to this Kashmiri place. Luckily we got a shikara to settle into. Almost all their shikaras were already taken, and this was at 8.30 pm on a Saturday night.
We started off with a couple of soups - Palak Ras and Tamatar Tas. Of the two, the Palak was the better one. We had Leddar Chamman and Nadir Palak Tikki as our appetizers. Although both the appetizers were super tasty, we just got four pieces of Leddar Chamman. A bit of stingy on the quantity side. The server could've informed us that there would be only four pieces (we were a party of six) and whether we would like to order two of the same.
The mint/coriander chutney served on the side was really awesome.
For our main course, we had Rajma, Dum Aloo, KongPoush Chamman and KongPoush Batta (saffron flavoured rice). While everything else was really good, the Dum Aloo was avoidable.
Now for the real reason we came to this place - Kahwah. Kahwa is Kashmiri tea with Saffron, Cardamom and slivers of Almond. No milk is added to the tea. My mom really loved it. The kahwa brought back memories of her visits to Kashmir. Lovely. Can't say that about too many places. The Shufta was good as usual.
While I could've given them 5/5 stars, I've cut down 1 for the lack of cloth napkins, stingy quantity of the Leddar Chaman appetizer and the so-so Dum Aloo.
btw, for the uninitiated, Chamman means Paneer in Kashmiri.
The total damage was about Rs. 1800.

Excellent Food... Gr8 Ambeince
The food was excellent specially the mutton starter(Lamb Chops) ,the soup and the main course (Rogan Josh).Ended well with Phirni and Kawa.The place lacks prompt service and need to wait for your turn (30 - 40 mins).But overall makes up for a hellave experience sitting in a Shikhara having a scrumptious meal.
