"As “classy” and “civilized” as the Back Bay itself, this venue offers “brilliant” Indian cuisine in a “well-decorated” interior where “there’s almost never a wait” (because everyone knows the “outdoor seats in nice weather are the way to go”); it’s “a bit pricey” for the genre, but it “costs more because it’s on Newbury Street” – indeed, the “lunch buffet is the only bargain”, but it’s “a magnificent one.”" - Zagat.com

"Kashmir walks the line between posh and authentic as well as any restaurant on Newbury Street. Sumptuous hues, pillowed banquettes and table linens, a sunken patio and well-versed waiters make for a sophisticated setting. Like most Indian restaurants, Kashmir focuses on fare from the Northern part of the continent and leans heavily on its tandoori oven. The kitchen is impressively up to the challenge: The breads are probably tops in the Hub, be they traditional or wildly flavored with chicken and pesto or potato and coconut. Korma is dreamily rich, chaat properly zesty. In short, Kashmir gets the nuances mostly right---even though some of the Vogue-toting clientele couldn't care less." - Gayot.com
