Trawl the restaurants in this list and you’ll notice how compact most menus are. It’s a function of demand and supply in a city where Kashmiri food is but one regional cuisine among many others. ITC Maurya’s Pavilion has two weekly buffets by housewife turned chef, Suman Kaul in which at least 15 constantly varying preparations are showcased. Kaul is a passionate hobby cook and has an unending repertoire of uncommon dishes like guchchi ver and apple pakora. Her Wednesday lunch and Friday dinner buffets are highly recommended for being a rare occasion to find home-cooked food in a five-star setting, that too, steering clear of cliches.
