In this guide
"Chinese food" in Srinagar usually means Indo-Chinese and Tibetan cooking side by side on the same menu: chilli chicken and chow mein next to thukpa and momos. The city's Tibetan Colony in Badaamwari and the stretch of Boulevard Road facing Dal Lake in Durgjan are the two real clusters; most of the restaurants below sit in one or the other.
Bistro Boulevard by Pincer Foods
A casual cafe right on Boulevard Road with a Dal Lake view, mixing Chinese dishes into a wider Kashmiri and continental menu. Highest review count of any genuinely mixed-cuisine spot on this list, which matters. A menu this broad only holds a 4.5★ average at 1,600+ reviews if the kitchen is consistently good across categories, not just one dish.
Known for: rogan josh, yakhni, plus a Chinese section on the menu; also does desserts like a chocolate croissant
Opp. Ghat No 9, Boulevard Road, near Hotel New Park, Durgjan, Srinagar, 190001
Lhasa
The most-reviewed Chinese kitchen in Srinagar by a wide margin, and a long-standing name on Boulevard Road. The rating sits lower than others on this list at 4.0★, and reviews are genuinely mixed on food quality, but the sheer review volume means it's been a default choice for locals for years. Go for the classics (chicken chilli, chow mein) rather than anything adventurous.
Known for: chicken chilli gravy, chicken chow mein
Lane No 3, Boulevard Road, Near Shah Abbas Hotel, Durgjan, Srinagar, 190001
Fat Panda
Also on the Durgjan/Boulevard strip, but leans further into a broader Asian menu: Chinese, Thai, and pizza on the same card. Reviewers consistently call out generous portions on dishes like hot and sour soup and Korean fried chicken, and repeatedly name-check a specific host (Suhail) for hospitality, a good sign of a place that's run with real attention, not just processed through.
Known for: hot and sour soup, fried Korean chicken
Opposite Ghat No. 5, Boulevard Rd, Durgjan, Srinagar, 190001
Chopsticks
Sits in the Tibetan Colony in Badaamwari rather than the touristy Boulevard strip, the other real cluster of Chinese-Tibetan cooking in the city. Reviewers repeatedly single out the momos specifically as "delightful," though several more recent reviews flag longer waits and inconsistency on fried rice and chilli chicken. Go for the momos, not necessarily everything else on the menu.
Known for: momos
4R56+JR, Tibetan Colony, Badaamwari, Srinagar, 190003
Tibetan Bowl
Closer to the city center on Residency Road, near Lal Chowk. Reviewers are specific and consistent here: gravy momos, shredded mutton egg rice, and multiple thukpa varieties all get named directly, in a setting people repeatedly describe as clean and modern. A few reviews flag pricing on the higher side for what you get.
Known for: Tibetan gravy momos, shredded mutton egg rice, thukpa
Residency Road, near Canara Bank, Regal Chowk, Lal Chowk, Srinagar, 190001
Café Tibet
Tucked on the first floor of the Khidmat complex near Regal Chowk, easy to walk past. Multiple reviewers independently call the momos "the best in Srinagar," which is a strong claim to see repeated across separate reviews rather than once. Also gets specific praise for Chicken Thai Pai and thukpa, and for staff staying attentive even close to closing time.
Known for: momos, Chicken Thai Pai, thukpa
1st floor, Khidmat Complex, Regal Lane, Residency Road, Press Colony, Srinagar, 190001
