The Story of Ashai
Where Kashmir’s lake, craft and culture meet the table
Ashai is a lakeside restaurant on the banks of Nigeen Lake, created for evenings that deserve to be remembered. Here, the stillness of the water and the mountains beyond set the scene for an experience that is refined, unhurried and unmistakably Kashmiri.
Our kitchen brings together Italian, French, Persian and traditional Kashmiri cuisines, each prepared with care and served with quiet confidence. Contemporary architecture is softened by subtle touches of local craftsmanship, so the space feels both modern and rooted in its place.
By day and by night, Ashai moves easily between fine dining and special occasions: intimate dinners, engagement ceremonies, private gatherings and Sufi music evenings.

The Ashai Experience
An Evening Shaped by Place
Every course at Ashai is part of a larger story. Handmade pasta and classic French technique sit alongside fragrant Persian dishes and the slow-cooked traditions of the Kashmiri kitchen, all served against the quiet backdrop of Nigeen Lake.
As the evening settles in, tables give way to music. Our Sufi evenings bring live performance to the water’s edge, a gentle, soulful way to end the night.
For engagements, family gatherings and private dinners, our team shapes the menu, the setting and the pace around you.
