Our story
Over 30 years ago, in 1981, a sweet dream became a reality. The founder of Kashmir Sweethouse, inspired by his Pakistani roots and the rich traditions of Kashmir, decided to bring the authentic flavours of his homeland to the Netherlands.
Kashmir, often referred to as ‘Paradise on Earth’, is an enchanting region that boasts unparalleled natural beauty. Nestled amongst the foothills of the majestic Himalayas, the area is blessed with shimmering lakes, lush green meadows, and impressive snow-capped peaks.
The Kashmiri culture is a rich blend of traditions, with art, music, and dance playing an integral role. The traditional Kashmiri music, accompanied by the ‘rabab’ or ‘santoor’, tells tales of love, longing, and nature. The region is also renowned for its beautiful handwoven ‘Pashmina’ shawls and the intricate artwork on ‘Papier-mâché’ products.
