Kashmir

279 Newbury Street
Boston, MA 02116
(617) 536-1695





Description:  Indian food is generally celiac friendly, and that was true of Kashmir as well.  The menu is quite varied, and although the waitress knew nothing of gluten free dining, she was happy to inquire about issues.  Of note, the papadums are deep fried in shared oil, and they are not a GF option.

For this meal, we stayed fairly traditional and ordered a lamb dish (Gosht Vindaloo), some saag paneer, and chicken tikka.  The lamb was good but too salty and the paneer was less lively than others I've had.  The chicken tikka was creamy and delicious, although the sauce was far more plentiful than the chicken.  For dessert we had the rasmalai, which was fragrant and delicious.  The food, overall, was respectable but in no way outstanding.

Service was friendly and quick, and water refills were frequent.  The decor was pleasant, with nice size windows despite the basement location.  My bench was not entirely comfortable on account of oddly slopped padding.

Kashmir is a decent place and likely a safe option for the gluten free diner, but you can do better in Boston with a little planning.
