There is not a lot of Kashmiri food available in Mumbai (or anywhere outside Kashmir, really).
Tried a new place, Aalav, for a few classics – Mutton Yakhni (mild yogurt and fennel gravy), Matsch (mutton koftas in a red gravy), Tabak Maaz / Kabargah (lamb breast ribs poached in milk and then fried in ghee), and Monj Haakh (braised seasonal greens and turnips). Also a walnut chutney that had a bit of an unexpected kick!
I have been lucky to have been fed a good variety of Kashmiri Pundit (Hindu) food cooked by a friend and her mother in New York, while my family has eaten Wazwans (Kashmiri Muslim wedding feasts) in Kashmir as well as Pundit food cooked by various family friends, so the bar is always those memories.
The Tabak Maaz was the only disappointment here. The other dishes vary from hand to hand, so they were different from what we’ve eaten elsewhere, but still good (and vastly better than my last Kashmiri restaurant experience about a decade ago, when my dad suggested that we save the Rista / giant meatball for the neighborhood kids to use as a cricket / season ball, because it was just inedibly hard – and about the right size 
).
