A Wazwan is not a meal — it is a ceremony of belonging.

What is a Wazwan?

A traditional Wazwan is a multi-course meat feast that can include up to 36 dishes, originating in the royal kitchens of the Kashmir Sultanate in the 15th century.

  • Rogan Josh — slow-cooked lamb in Kashmiri chillies
  • Gushtaba — hand-pounded mutton meatballs in yoghurt gravy
  • Tabak Maaz — lamb ribs in clarified butter
  • Yakhni — yoghurt and fennel curry
  • Dum Aloo — potatoes in Kashmiri chilli gravy
