“I am from Lucknow and I’ve always had the passion to learn cuisines of our emperors,” Chef continues. Hyderabadi / Nizami and Lucknowi/awadhi cuisines both are royal cuisines inspired by mughals, Nizams and Nawabs. “There are a lot of recipes and practices which are yet to be revealed and unfolded. I just want to bring out and showcase all those secrets and royal traditional dishes to my guests.”

The menu reflects this passion that chef has. As the popular saying goes “Cooking patiently is the key as slow-cooking is the hallmark of Hyderabadi cuisine”.

The festival is open to guests for dinner only, 7 pm to 11 pm everyday between 21 May to 31 May
