Our Story

At the time of Shuja ud Daula, a very high standard of cooking was maintained. The very best cooks were enlisted, elaborate efforts were made in the preparation of foods and innovations were introduced. Expert cooks from Delhi and other places polished up their skills and invented new delicacies and special savours.

The Nawab who brought up Lucknow as a pearl on the map of northern India, is the fourth Nawab of Awadh – Nawab Asaf-ud-daulah. Being a man of exceptional taste and a connoisseur of fine food, he was known more for his generosity. As a famine relief measure, he ordered the construction of the Bara Imambara, which still remains one of the grandest buildings in modern day Lucknow. Being a man of exceptional taste and a connoisseur of fine food, was known more for his generosity. He discovered the ‘dum’ style of cooking and then patronized it, enriching his kingdom by this aromatic style of biryani.
