Why it matters
Why Kashmir (Bonifacio Global City) is worth your time
Kashmir matters because Tatler Asia calls it the Philippines' first Indian restaurant, and The Beat Asia says it is nearly 48 years old, making it one of the oldest established restaurants in Metro Manila. For Indian families that history shows how long North Indian food has been part of the city's dining.
It is also a practical stop. The menu mixes vegetarian, vegan-leaning and meat dishes, so a group with different diets can eat together. That is useful for older relatives who want familiar flavours, but it is not a Pure Veg or Jain kitchen, so a strict traveller should treat it as a careful choice rather than a safe default.

How to experience it
Book a table and ask for the plant-based pages of the menu first. Palak paneer is the dish named by The Beat Asia, and its write-up says the kitchen leans on leafy dishes for vegan diners. The same menu also lists chicken tikka masala and beef curry, so tell your server your diet before ordering and ask that vegetarian dishes be cooked and served with clean utensils.
If you come at lunch, ask whether the buffet is running that day. The Beat Asia reported one at around 898 pesos per person in July 2023, which suits a family that wants to taste several dishes without a long wait. Evening service is more of a sit-down meal with cocktails on offer.
One Bonifacio High Street is a pedestrian-friendly district. Plan the meal around a short stroll and a car back to your hotel, since traffic between Makati and Bonifacio Global City can be slow at rush hour.
