Kashmir Grill House — Restaurant in Como

I had the opportunity to eat here while on vacation in Italy. Surprised to find Indian Food in a place where Italian food dominates, this take out joint was easy to find and the prices we reasonable.

Location: 8/10

Located at the base of the Lake Como mountain region, Kashmir Grill is on a side street away from the actual lake and tourists attractions. It’s easy to walk to if you are anywhere down there, and parking is easy if you follow the signs and hours and all.

Venue: 8/10

For what it’s worth, this is a take out joint with 10-15 table sets. The workers dressed casual and were able to speak multiple languages, as with most people in my party. There were no problems communicating and they had what we were looking for. They were able to point out the best on the menu, and brought everything out fast.

Food: 9/10

Often times the best food places are hidden, as is the case with this one. While most tourists flock to the typical Italian food scene, this place had amazing garlic bread (naan), tandoori chicken, chicken masala, and rice. Food was cooked well, hot, and served within 10 minutes of ordering.

Kashmir Grill House is definitely worth stopping by in the area. The people who work there act like they want to be there, and are excited to show you...

Simply amazing!

An absolute gem of a restaurant, serving excellent Pakistani cuisine in Como! I didn't expect to find a restaurant of this standard and type in that area!

The gentleman serving us and managing the whole place did a great job. Very polite, courteous and honest.

Salad was fresh and crisp.

Sauces were excellent!

The only 2 things I would say they can improve on are :

Roti. It is made of wholemeal flour BUT it's way too thick and doesn't really cook well inside. I did ask for slightly thinner, which they did try but there's still room for improvement. This is a slight let down and doesn't do justice to the superb food they serve.

Chicken tandoori dish, it's great. Crisp and flavoursome BUT it's does include moist sauce chicken too..which is slightly sweet and sour of ruins the flavours.

Tea was really nice and strong 👍.

The atmosphere, décor, table settings and serving is outstanding.

Overall I highly recommend going to...

This is my first google review, but I felt compelled to write it so you don’t make the same mistake I did.

I would say this restaurant is run with no passion for good food or service, and I have no idea how this “restaurant” has a 4.7 rating.

So here goes… the manager spent most of the time on his phone watching videos, which is all we could hear in the restaurant because it was so loud and there was no atmosphere or music. I had to get up and ask if we could order, after we were sat waiting while the manager played videos on his phone.

The paneer pakora was tasteless. The jeera rice was so dry and definitely wasn’t cooked with any ghee butter. The two curry’s we ordered were different, but the sauces tasted practically the same. They were lacking in flavour and the chicken curry had more carcass in it than actual meat.

I’m summary, could...
