Lacima Cafe and Pizzeria — Restaurant in Jammu and Kashmir

It says a lot about your food and service when you have repeat customers at your restaurant, that too tourists. Yes it happened to me during my visit to Srinagar. Visited this place on my first day in Srinagar and now on the last day as well. They make absolutely great pizzas, breads and momo (with their own twist with their inhouse yummy sau e). I am sure they are equally good in other dishes but I didn't get to taste them. They serve good shakes and mojitos as well. It may seem like a simple order, but you need to taste all this, to experience the fine balance and the crispness, not to forget the great love with which they serve food.

The man in charge / owner Shaukat (known as Shauki) is an amazing human being, courteous, polite and serves with a big smile on his face. Ambience is modern and slick. Check out the pics.

Do visit this place next time you are in Srinagar.

Pros - Good food, ample parking, reasonable cost, clean washroom, hygenic, free smiles, stairs with side rails.

Con - This is on 1st floor. Not complaining but just for your information, just in case you have an elderly or a...

The service here is extremely poor. If you're seated on the upper floor, the staff won’t even come to take your order—you have to go downstairs yourself. When we asked for water, they simply handed over a bottle without offering any glasses. And when we requested one, they gave us a Coca-Cola paper cup, which felt quite unprofessional and honestly, a bit embarrassing.

We had ordered chicken momos for two people, but they brought only one plate and served everything on it. They didn’t provide separate plates, so we had to manage awkwardly from a single plate, making the experience messy and uncomfortable.

To add to it, the AC was not even switched on. It’s installed, but seems to be just for show. The café was hot and stuffy, which made things worse.

Overall, it was a terrible experience and I’m never going back. I genuinely hope the owners take this feedback seriously and work on improving the basic service and customer comfort. Every guest deserves a pleasant and respectful...

I have been to this place a long time ago. Back then, they were located just outside of GMC Srinagar. Their food at that time was average. Nothing great. Not bad either.

But when I went to their new restaurant recently, I was amazed by the changes. In the new restaurant as well as in the food.

Their food quality and taste has improved so much. It went from 4/10 to a 7/10 or even 8/10 ( for me though)

I had chicken momos, a pizza and a burger. The burger was just amazing. The bun was fresh. And soft. Not those regular tasteless buns that you see everywhere. The patty too was full of taste and juicy. The burger was a surprise for me. You don't find this kind of burger in Kashmir. At least I haven't till now.

Didn't like the mint chutney though. They can do with some more chutneys.

The pizza was better than what they used to make in the past. It was crisp and cheesy.

That burger will surely make me...
