Dum Pukht

Sharing prime space with another of the city’s famed favourites, Bukhara, Dum Pukht at the ITC Maurya exudes royalty and decadence in both dishes and décor. Employing one of the most refined forms of cooking, sourced from the 200-year-old kitchens of the Mughal royals, the food here is slow roasted in sealed pots over a low flame, resulting in fare that’s tender and flavourful. This restaurant is an absolute hit with non-vegetarians, but offers some excellent choices for vegetarians too. Must eat: Hara Kebab, Shahi Nihari
