Owner & CEO · Deeinns Premium Lounge
A dynamic hospitality entrepreneur from Sopore, Kashmir. Born into a legacy that began in the 1980s, Absar represents the new generation of premium dining — where heritage meets modern luxury, and every guest leaves with a memory.
Absar Dawood
Absar Dawood is a visionary hospitality entrepreneur from Sopore, Kashmir, known for transforming a decades-old family business into one of the region's most recognized premium dining destinations.
His journey is rooted in legacy. The foundation of the business was laid in the 1980s by his father, who built a name based on trust, quality, and consistency. Growing up around this environment, Absar developed a deep understanding of customer expectations and the values that define true hospitality.
With time, he recognized that the future of dining required more than just good food — it required experience, ambiance, and innovation. Driven by this vision, Absar took leadership of the family business and reimagined its identity entirely.
Deeinns Lounge
Every decision I make — in business and in life — is guided by three core principles that I inherited from my father and refined through years of leadership.
Trust is the foundation of every great hospitality brand. For over four decades, the Dawood name in Sopore has been synonymous with reliability, honesty, and a commitment to every single guest.
Food is not just taste — it is trust. Every dish at Deeinns is prepared under the strictest standards of hygiene and quality. This is non-negotiable and forms the bedrock of our reputation.
Respecting the past while embracing the future. I believe in honoring the legacy my father built while introducing the innovation, ambiance, and modern concepts that today's guests deserve.
Vision & Leadership
Absar Dawood's leadership reflects a rare balance between respecting legacy and embracing innovation. When he took over the family business, he didn't just change a name — he reimagined every aspect of the guest experience.
He introduced a refined lounge-style ambiance, expanded the menu across three distinct culinary traditions, implemented strict standards for hygiene and service, and brought entertainment and gaming experiences to create something truly unique — a complete lifestyle destination in Sopore.
Today, Absar continues to push boundaries — working tirelessly to elevate hospitality standards in Sopore and across Kashmir, with a strong vision to establish Deeinns as a name synonymous with quality, trust, and premium lifestyle experiences across the region.
