Athov (the hand food co.)

Srinagar's heart for authentic hand food, where flavor meets tradition.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Rawalpora, Srinagar, Athov (the hand food co.) stands as a testament to authentic flavors and culinary passion. Born from a desire to bring the valley's true essence to every plate, Athov has quickly become a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike. Our philosophy revolves around the art of 'hand food' – dishes crafted with care, tradition, and the freshest local ingredients, meant to be savored with every sense. From the moment you step in, the aroma of spices and simmering delights envelops you, promising a gastronomic adventure. Our culinary technique is rooted in age-old recipes, perfected over time. We pride ourselves on slow-cooked biryanis, where each grain of rice is infused with rich, aromatic flavors, free from artificial colors. Our chickens, always fresh, are transformed into tender, juicy masterpieces, whether it's the smoky perfection of our Tandoori Chicken or the succulent, flavor-packed Afghani Chicken that melts in your mouth. Beyond the exquisite food, Athov is an experience. We believe in creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere where every guest feels like family. Our polite and attentive staff, like Mr. Shoib, are dedicated to ensuring your dining journey is nothing short of exceptional, serving every dish fresh and hot. Athov is more than just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Srinagar's rich culinary heritage, a place where delicious food, friendly service, and a memorable ambiance converge.
