Another great experience at Kashmir. I brought my father into town and wanted to live up to his Indian food expectation. He only has experience with frozen Indian food meals, so getting it fresh was exciting for him. The lamb korma was very tender and flavorful. I think it has become our new dish to order. Per usual the Naan bread is a must, it just soaks the sauces up so well and truly completes the meal. I wish there was some music or a tv to make noise in the restaurant. However the staff are friendly!
It was a busy Saturday night. Took about 20 minutes to get seats. Lots of phone orders. Sit back relax and enjoy the smells of India ...the good ones ! Waiter was attentive. Food took some time to come as well. We order chicken tika saag and I got lamb vindaloo. Garlic naan plus cheese naan. Somoasa! Everything is on point
Solid delivery experience. Every time I travel to a new city I have to order Indian food from a mom and pop spot once I get settled into wherever I'm staying. This time, I tried Kashmir. Of course, I checked Yelp first and their 200+ reviews and option to order right off Yelp, made it a quick decision. 45 minutes later it was delivered to my hotel and I was excited to get right to it. It was a Monday and Monday night football was on. My team was playing. Anyhoo, my bubble burst when a few minutes into the first quarter I discovered that my food didn't come with any utensils even though I specifically asked for them. Now you're probably saying, "Jayme, it's Indian food, eat with your hands." And I'll tell you straight up, I really tried. The way the food was packaged made it difficult, but after finally tracking down a fork, I was ready to dive in. The samosas were great, pretty big, and the tamarind sauce was a nice contrast. The naan was alright, but nothing special. The navratan korma, it was the star of the show. Super flavor, great variety of veggies (it's a vegetarian dish), and the sauce was super creamy. That's the one dish I attempt to try everywhere and when compared to the many I've had, this one wasn't too bad at all. In a nutshell, Kashmir was definitely worth a try. If there's a next time, I would pick it up instead. I have a feeling the naan would have been better.
I am a big fan of Indian food and have never had a meal I didn't like! I usually get the lamb saag but really anything is good. I also got the chicken pakora. And the prices are reasonable. It is a small place though but they have great service!
Really good food. My husband and I are in Louisville for the weekend. We found this place and decided to give it a go. We thought there was a lunch buffet. They no longer have a buffet. We shared the non veg assorted appetizers (so yum) and the Special Thali. My husband also had a mango lassi. The food was excellent. The house made onion chutney and the tamarind chutney were both fabulous. All of the bites on the appetizer platter was great. The thali was wonderful. The dal makhni was especially delicious. The restaurant is in what was once a house. It's not fancy, but the food is SO good!! A couple of other highlights for me are the fish pakora and the lamb curry...wow
Kashmir was a decent spot. I had the lamb korma with naan, and had some of the non-vegetarian platter and butter chicken from my friend as well. My lamb korma tasted great and I really enjoyed it. The non-vegetarian platter was good, but a little dry. However, the butter chicken was quite salty. All in all, it seems that these dishes might be hit or miss. The environment was alright. It was cool to see the culture of India in paintings placed along the walls. There was ample seating even for large groups. Unfortunately, Kashmir does not serve unlimited rice, so if you're a big eater like I am, you might need to order more rice. All in all, it was a decent place!
Out of the handful of Indian places I've been to in the Louisville area, I think after trying this one it's my favorite. This is an interesting place. If you aren't looking in the right direction, you can easily pass it up as it is a repurposed 1 story home. This really gives it an intimate feel. Not fancy by any means. Clean and proper enough to be a fine place. The food itself was fantastic. I ordered a serving of tikka masala (medium heat). The portion was fine and the food was fresh The service was also fantastic. They were always around for refills whenever you needed it . I will definitely be back!
Often, I eat a meal and I'm immediately inspired to write a review. Other times, something becomes so familiar, it hardly seems notable. I guess the opposite is true. If I don't tire of a thing, EVER, it must be special. I ordered Kashmir when I was pregnant, or sick, or whenever and I think I've failed to mention it...despite having continued to eat it weekly for as long as I can remember. Maybe it isn't as obvious as it feels, but Kashmir Indian Restaurant is about as consistent as comfort food can get. It's as sure as tomato soup and grilled cheese on a rainy afternoon. Tonight, I had chicken korma, vegetable samosas, and cheese naan. The picture below is a half order of each. If you're a carryout junkie and love a bargain, Kashmir is for you. My plate is exactly half our order. So, the price is about $30 for two including a tip. I've gotten this meal through third party delivery services, but most often my husband picks it up. It's a pretty big deal to be able to say a place never disappoints after so many orders, but that's how I feel about Kashmir. If you hate spicy altogether, this review probably isn't for you. Even a mild order has some spice. They offer a lot of vegetarian options. Although there are very few foods that aren't really up my alley, I'll admit that lamb is a bit gamy for me. That being said, I do love a gyro, or minced lamb in a samosa, but lamb entrees usually aren't for me. My husband prefers a protein, so we tend to get chicken and most often opt for the meat samosas. Chicken saag, the korma, the tikki masala, those are all at the top of my list. Maybe depending on my mood, but probably in that order. If you're thinking you should give Indian food a try, Kashmir is solid. I love it when it's cold outside. When it's raining. When I'm sick. It got me through a couple pregnancies. When I've needed comfort food, Kashmir has delivered. I wish I could speak on it's ambiance, but I have literally never stepped foot in the place. (Hi, Kashmir! It's the wife of "pickup order for Kyle" here! Thanks for dinner tonight! We'll see ya next week.)
Decided to get takeout on Bardstown Rd and take advantage of a nice day outside. I had only been to Kashmir one other time and we were just about the only customers inside, but it looks like their business is doing great! There were about 5 or 6 people waiting for orders and the staff was staying busy. There aren't too many Indian restaurants around Louisville, but this should be in the top 3 on your list because of its great location and atmosphere. read more

Go to Indian in the highlands. The atmosphere is okay yet in the summer they have a great front patio. They could use some music inside. I got takeout tonight and I am not a fan of the single use plastic container ( nothing can be perfect). I did try something new, aloo gobhi and would highly recommend it if you like cauliflower. read more

I want to love Kashmir so hard. It's one of the closest Indian restaurants to me. I've ordered to-go and dined in several times and each time it is just OK. I tend to order chicken tikka masala every single time and I've asked for medium spice but it never quite gets there. I'm too chicken to order spicy to see if I can finally reach the spice level I desire. The veggie samosas seem to miss the mark on flavor too. It's like a spice or two was forgotten in the mix. No matter what I order and if I dine in or carry out, I'm rushed in and out as if I was a nuisance. I'm sure it is important to turn tables over and serve more guests, but I want to feel I have value to offer too! read more

Okay guys, I really hate to do this but I have to. Prepare for a long rant. Kashmir was one of my favorite restaurants in Louisville and my go to comfort food. BUT. Today I ordered Kashmir on Postmates, Chicken Tikka Masala. It gets to my house and I start eating it and I bite into something hard. I look at what I just bit into and it is RAW CHICKEN. So I call the restaurant and they sound surprised and ask me what I would like to do about it. I said all I want is a new order because I'm nervous about the rest of my previous order for seemingly obvious reasons. They accept. I drive to pick up my delivery order that I was NOT EVEN OFFERED TO BE REFUNDED FOR, but that's fine, I'm hungry. When I get there the man at the counter barely looks at me and points to a bag on the table and tells me that's mine and then proceeds to tell me that I am lying and that it is not possible that this happened, insinuating I am making the whole thing up. So, fine. I take the bag and ignore his comments. The bag is just chicken, not the whole order with rice. I ask if I could have rice with the chicken because I put the chicken on top of the rice I previously had. He tells me no. And that he doesn't believe me in the first place and that I have to pay if I want rice also. YOU GUYS. I have been in that restaurant 10000 times, I am probably single handedly keeping Kashmir afloat with the amount I eat there. I have concerned friends to back this up. My point is, they have to know I'm a regular customer?! So I left the chicken there, walked out, and am now not only super disappointed that I have to cross this off my list of amazing Louisville restaurants but also regretting that I feel the need to warn other people because that guy obviously DOES NOT CARE about health codes/food safety. I am planning to report this to the health department tomorrow. Anybody know of another good Indian restaurant? read more

The menu is large, but pretty well categorized by contents (meats, vegetarian, etc), but i'm not really familiar with Indian food, and not being a super fan of spicy, i wasn't sure what to order. When the gentleman came to the table to take our orders everyone knew what they wanted - except me. When it was my turn, i told him, "I'm not really sure". Being a restaurant patron, i fully expected him to assist me in finding something i'd like. But no, he didn't even attempt to suggest something, he just skipped over me, making eye contact with the next person and moving on. When he'd taken their orders, he walked away! It took me about 8 minutes to flag him down -- after having my friends (& pictures on Yelp) help me decide on something i thought i'd like. When he finally came back over, it really felt uncomfortable, like i was a huge inconvenience for him. I hated that feeling. The top of the menu says "all entrees served with onion chutney - a serving of rice is $2". In my experience, the pricing is not straightforward. I ordered an entrée and intentionally did not order rice, after I saw that there was a $2 charge. To my surprise, when the entrées came out, we were presented with seven bowls of rice. I thought to myself, "this is nice, perhaps I misunderstood the menu, or maybe they changed the $2 charge for rice after reading all the disgruntled reviews". We actually discussed it at the table since only 2 or 3 people had intentionally specified rice when ordering. We figured maybe the $2 was if you wanted an extra serving. But no, that's not the case! After eating, we had to flag down someone to get the check. When it came we found that were all grouped together on one check. They'd never asked how we wanted the checks split. We went up to the register to have everything separated. The owner, I presume (he'd greeted us when we entered the restaurant, & came back to take our order) Heard is asking to split the check. He quickly jumped in and said he take care of it because he remembered what we do old ordered. One by one we walked to the register and went over our menu selections with him. He typed in numbers on a calculator while totaling the amount we owed. I noticed that when he typed my amount into the calculator he typed in 3.5, then 2 then 9.99 -- totaling $15.49 -- he quickly charged my credit card that amount. It happened so fast, I didn't have much time to think. He was like a con artist, working quickly to confuse and distract as we were being ripped off by a few dollars. As my friends continued to pay, I sat with a menu to re-confirm the pricing on my meal -- the Vegetable Pakora appetizer was $3.50; but my Malai Kofta entree was $8.99 (not 9.99 like he'd charged me) -- and I didn't order rice; they just assumed I wanted rice and brought it out with the meal. I asked the gentleman why I'd been charged $15.49 when my meal should have cost $12.49. He spoke quickly, but said something about the charge for rice. I explained that I hadn't ordered rice because i didn't want to pay $2 for a bowl of rice. He reached in the register and took out $2 cash. He handed it to me as the solution. I was pretty frustrated and confused - and my large group of non-confrontational friends seemed annoyed too as they waited for me, so I didn't even bother with asking about the additional $1 that had been tacked onto the price of my entree. I am all for paying for something you've ordered; but i didn't like feeling that it was an inconvenience to wait on me. I also didn't appreciate the feeling of being conned & tricked into paying more than the advertised price, or paying for something I hadn't ordered. After leaving, I also realized there was no sales tax calculation or receipt for my purchase. The whole experience just felt really weird and a little shady. I won't be going back. I like straightforward pricing and customer service. Kashmir unfortunately doesn't check those boxes for me. The food was ok, so that gives it a 2 star; service and experience alone would be a sold "1 star - Eek! Methinks not" read more

Upon entering Kashmir.... It was awkward. The man who greeted us did not speak to us and brought us to a booth in the front room. He immediately asked what we would like to order and we asked for a few minutes. The next stop, we pondered what type of beer Kingfish and Taj Mahal were. He had no clue so we went ahead and ordered the two.... He came over to take our order and In the middle of asking him about the menu items he just stared at me... Turned around, and saw someone walking through the doors and walked away. We then waited around 5-8 minutes and were greeted by another server who was timely and took our orders. He also was not that friendly either. We ordered the spinach naan which was okay and the vegetarian platter. It was very flavors and softly fried. For our meals, we ordered the thio sampler and the saag paneer with garlic naan. The garlic naan was not as flavorful as others. But it's okay. Everyone has their own style. When we finished our meals, we stayed at talked around twenty minutes and the servers were standing in the same room as us with no one else dining... As if waiting for us to leave so they could clean the table. The entire time just felt weird. All in all, I have had better and more flavorful experience des at. Other Indian restaurants and will stick with those. However, great location!! read more

I have no idea what I did without Indian cuisine in my life. I hadn't tried it until four years ago when I tried Kashmir for the very first time, and I now frequent the restaurant quite often for my favorite dishes. I've tried several of Kashmir's offerings, from Chicken Tikka Masala (my personal favorite), Chicken Curry, Saag Paneer, Naan, Samosas, and more. Everything I've tried has been full of flavor and seasoned to perfection. I order all of my dishes hot, which can mean very mild spice to nearly inedible depending on the day, so order with caution! The portions are huge, and I always have enough left over for an additional meal the next day. I've always felt welcomed to Kashmir, whether eating in or carrying out, and the staff has always been very kind. There is nothing special about the atmosphere of the dining area, but I'm such a regular, I feel at home in their small, unassuming space. Plus, when the weather is nice, Kashmir has a huge patio space just off Bardstown Road in the center of it all. They offer a lunch buffet every day of the week where you can try many different popular items from the menu if you're new to Indian cuisine and don't know what to try. These dishes are all served mild, so I've been known to ask for extra spice on the side ;) You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu in my experience. I'm a Kashmir customer for life! read more

Kashmir was the first Indian restaurant I ever had and 7 years later it is still my favorite! Our dinner group started with chai tea, vegetable pakoras and cheese pakoras and both were absolutely amazing! Especially the spicy red onions that come with them. The chai and appetizers came out fast and fresh! As I always I ordered the chicken chili extra hot and medium saag paneer and went the with spinach Naan. If you have read any of my other reviews you know how much I love hot food! Let me tell you how out of this world this chicken chili was! VERY spicy, huge chunks of white meat chicken mixed with peppers, onions and tomatoes. I was sweating from the heat and it was amazing. I don't think any other Indian restaurant around can get the spice and flavor that Kashmir has. The saag was good as always, I wish there was a bit more cheese, but still delicious. Our waiter who I believe is the owner is always very attentive and nice! Food came out quick and tasty! I always recommend this place to my friends outside of Louisville who want Indian food! read more
I hate to give less than stellar reviews of family run businesses, but I was terribly disappointed in my last two trips to Kashmir. The service was good, the management friendly. I had the vegetable thali, which is a combo plate. My favorite Indian dish, the Malai Kofta, had one dumpling and was salty and bland. The Channa Masala and Matter Paneer were bland and overly salty as well. The lentil soup was good. My husband liked his Mano chicken. As I said, a previous trip was a forgettable lunch buffet with very dry Tandoori Chicken. At times, restaurants tame the heat factor for sake of the masses. That is not the same as flavor- the combinations of delicious spices simmered for hours that is the hallmark of the cuisine. Sadly, they have missed the mark for me. read more

My sister and I hit up Kashmir for lunch today. She said it was her favorite place for Indian food and I had never actually had Indian food so I was super excited to check it off my list. It was delicious. The atmosphere wasn't anything exciting. It looked like it was a house turned into a restaurant. But when I walked in the smell was so deliciously wonderful that I wasn't worried much about the interior decorating. The staff was friendly and the place was pretty busy. Everything I had was so good! I can't wait to revisit and try some other things from the menu. read more

Ordered on doordash and took over an hour to get here. Everything was cold and tasteless. One of the worst chicken tikka masalas I had. It was super bland, dry, and over cooked. The rice was pretty gross too. My garlic naan came burnt. I really can't believe they would give me a piece like that for $5. I think it's overpriced and not worth the money. read more

This hit the spot!! This is our first experience with Kashmir and it didn't disappoint . My daughter called our order in and when she hung up she said Wow, that was the best call in experience.She popped in because I didn't feel like searching for parking. We ordered the vegetable samosas, garlic naan, and Chicken Korma. The aroma was amazing and the food barely made it home. This food is absolutely delicious! So thankful for the recommendation from my daughter's teacher. read more
