The chicken in the mango chicken was tender and the sauce was sweet but I wouldn't say it had an abundant mango flavor. I wish the portion size was larger. The flavor felt very authentic and is some of the best Indian food you can find in the Beverly area.

Wonderful restaurant that raises the standard in this part of New England for Indian cuisine. It…read morewas a bit out of my usual neighborhood and so it took a while to uncover. But finally I did and boy am I happy. Very much a family affair - husband and wife who share maitre'd and server responsibilities. And other relatives in the kitchen cooking up a storm. What first grabbed my attention were the huge number of dosas they offer. Seeing any dosa on a menu at all is a rarity and so to see the wide variety they feature was amazing. I opted for the Andhra Kara Masala and it was excellent. The dosa itself crispy and warm and the condiments beautifully integrated. We opted for the mixed veggie pakoras as an appetizer on the recommendation of the owner and they were served warm and crispy. The batter was light - nothing like the thick sludge that usually adorns the deep fried nuggets of vegetable delight. The accompanying tamarind sauce was sweet and clean and the mint-cilantro suitably refreshing. Lovey got garlic naan and saag paneer. Smooth and creamy, the saag was exactly as hoped for and the garlic naan was chewy, warm and toothsome. Dessert was carrot halwa. Hard to believe carrots make such an excellent warm dessert but they do. Richly satisfying with just the right touch of sweetness. We look forward to returning and sampling the rest of the menu!

The Best North Indian Restaurant I Have Found…read more For a long time, I had been searching for an authentic North Indian restaurant that truly delivers outstanding food. One day, while I was in Salem, New Hampshire, I discovered Kashmir Indian Cuisine, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I visited the restaurant with a group of friends, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tandoori specialties. The Chicken Tikka, Chicken Seekh Kabab, Tandoori Chicken, Garlic Naan, and Tandoori Roti were all cooked to perfection. We also tried the Haddock Pakora as an appetizer, which was absolutely delicious. Other favorites included the Chicken Saag, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Aloo Gobi. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with authentic North Indian spices. What made the experience even more enjoyable was the warm hospitality. The owner and the entire staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making every guest feel welcome. I was so impressed that I later hired Kashmir Indian Cuisine to cater my daughter's engagement celebration. The food was exceptional, and every guest complimented the quality, taste, and beautiful presentation. Their catering helped make our special occasion even more memorable. If you truly enjoy authentic North Indian cuisine, I highly recommend giving Kashmir Indian Cuisine a try. Make the drive just once, and I'm confident you'll enjoy the experience as much as I did. Highly recommended! Gursharan S. Gill Mr. Gill Newport Restaurant Group

I have been coming here since shortly after they opened, and it has always been one of my favorite…read morerestaurants. I almost always sit at the bar and order the Mixed Tandoori Grill because it has consistently been generous, well-prepared, and worth the price. Unfortunately, my experience tonight was incredibly disappointing. The service at the bar was poor. Although there were other guests there--many of whom appeared to be regulars--the bartender spent most of his time chatting with them and largely ignored me. I had to ask three separate times before I finally received service. When my meal arrived, it was nowhere near the quality or portion I have come to expect. The Mixed Grill, which has always included generous portions of lamb, chicken, and shrimp, consisted almost entirely of chicken, with only about two small pieces of lamb and a single shrimp. It was a dramatic difference from what has been served for years. I politely mentioned this to the bartender, and his response was simply, "Tough times, less food." I found that response both dismissive and disappointing. If portions have been reduced, customers should not be paying the same premium prices without any acknowledgment. After years of consistently great meals, this was genuinely sad to experience. Spending nearly $75 on a meal that felt significantly diminished in both quality and value is hard to justify. Because of my long history with this restaurant, I may give it one more chance, but based on this visit, I cannot recommend it. It was a very disappointing experience from both a service and food standpoint.

Absolutely exceptional! Truly a hidden gem!…read more My husband and I LOVE Indian food, and we have been meaning to try Destination India for a while. We have eaten at most of the Indian restaurants in the area, so we have tried a lot of different places. This was our first visit here, and WOW! We were incredibly impressed from the moment we walked in. I actually remember this building being a Denny's when I was younger, and I cannot believe the transformation! The owners did an amazing job with the interior. It is warm, cozy, beautifully decorated, and extremely clean. The lighting, flooring, gorgeous bar, and all of the little details make it feel welcoming and upscale while still being comfortable. I only wish I had taken pictures! And then there is the food. Absolutely phenomenal! Everything tasted incredibly fresh and was packed with flavor. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. You can tell there is so much care going into the ingredients, preparation, and presentation. One thing I especially appreciated was how clearly the menu identified common allergens like gluten, dairy, and nuts. I am gluten free, and eating out can sometimes be frustrating, but I had so many options here! It made ordering incredibly easy and gave me confidence in what I was choosing. The staff was also wonderful. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we were enjoying our experience. I truly cannot say enough good things about this place. Beautiful atmosphere, exceptional food, wonderful service, generous portions, and incredible attention to detail. We brought home so much food that I am pretty sure we will be enjoying it for lunch AND dinner tomorrow, and I am already looking forward to it! Destination India is truly a hidden gem, and I am so glad we finally tried it. This will absolutely be a place we return to again and again. If you love Indian food, or have been wanting to try it, do yourself a favor and go. You will not be disappointed! Five stars across the board!
