Curated with passion and precision by Executive Chef Deep Dubey, the festival showcases a thoughtfully designed menu that pays homage to the grandeur of Nawabi dining. Guests will be welcomed into a flavourful experience featuring an array of iconic dishes, including Ghosht Seekh Kebab, celebrated for its melt-in-mouth texture; Aminabadi Dum Biryani, cooked to perfection using the age-old dum technique; Mutton Nihari, a slow-cooked delicacy rich with spices; Lucknowi Korma, known for its velvety, aromatic gravy; and the royal dessert Shahi Tukda, a timeless favourite that completes the gastronomic journey. These dishes, along with many others on the menu, reflect the culinary artistry and traditional methods that define Lucknowi cuisine.
