The Backyard Grill is widely praised for its welcoming and aesthetic atmosphere, particularly its peaceful garden seating in the Rajbagh area. Reviewers frequently mention the calm and 'chilling' vibe, making it a favorite for both locals and visitors looking to unwind. The food is described as a palatable mix of local and fusion cuisines, with specific praise for the mutton burgers, chicken momos, and chilli potatoes. A unique highlight is the inclusion of traditional Nun chai alongside modern cafe drinks like iced coffee and peach tea. However, some guests have noted that service can be slow, suggesting that a leisurely dining pace is to be expected. While delivery experiences have occasionally been inconsistent, the in-person dining experience remains highly recommended for its decor and unique Kashmiri touches.
