15 Years Old!
Kashmir
Newbury Street and Gloucester St
Boston, MA

Stuff@Night hosted another great party last night at Kashmir, celebrating the restaurants 15 years as one the hottest Indian dining establishments in the city. There parties have made a huge improvement over the parties of a year ago, and if the this trend continues, “Stuff@Night parties” are sure to make a social impact beyond its own pages.

With the opening of Valentino down street, I wondered if the Stuff party would even compare. In my humble opinion, it blew away the Valentino party by the looks of it! The space was packed, but there was ample room on the two tiered patio made for a little breathing, or should I say smoking. Large hookahs adorned the patio tables, and everyone was taking a puff (or two!). The best way to describe the experience was to say I was breathing in candy air. The light and fruity tastes provided none of the harsh burn of cigarette smoke while still amplifying my already ample buzz!

The bar was open all night. And when I say open, I mean it! Unlike most events where one or two liquors may be highlighted, the bar tenders at Kashmir were serving anything you could imagine! The free hors d’oeuvres were also rather good and very plentiful. Great pakoras, samosas, tandoori chicken, lamb, naan, raita and these tasty little fish things were served by a friendly and very attentive event staff!

After the weeks of rain, it was great to be outside on Newbury St and eat, drink and catch up with friends. If I didn’t have to work this morning, I may have stayed till they threw us out! Instead we walked (aka stumbled) out past the search lights flashed through the sky and headed toward a T that now seemed like way more than a few blocks away!

Bottom Line: If a normal night at Kashmir is half as good, I would go back in a second. With such good food, strong drinks and a friendly staff, its no wonder Kashmir is 15 years old. Happy Birthday!
