For a taste of authentic Lucknawi cuisine, people in the know, head straight to the Dum Pukht restaurant. Here, the grand indulgent cuisine enjoyed by the Nawabs of Awadh, is magically recreated.

The rich Indian food is cooked in ‘Degs’or ‘Handis’(Traditional cooking utensils) over glowing coals and sealed with ‘atta’(Kneaded flour) to trap the steam. It simmers gently for hours, cooking in its own juices.

The resultant richness of flavours and taste, is incomparable. One taste of ‘Baingan Mirch Ka Salan’with baby brinjals and red chillies simmering in gravy of almonds and peanuts and it is easy to feel like a Nawab.
