Dum Pukht is one of the famous restaurants in the heart of Delhi.  It is located at the ITC Maurya – a premier luxury hotel acknowledged as one of the places to stay, when in Delhi.

Dum Pukht aspires to revive India’s royal culinary traditions with its slow-cooked recipes from royal courts across India, from Kashmir to Hyderabad to Awadh. Dum refers to an ancient slow-cooking method that uses a round, heavy-bottomed pot - called a handi, in which food is tightly sealed with dough and cooked over a slow fire over a long period of time. As the food slowly roasts, the rich flavors of the herbs and spices are released, which simultaneously seals the handi achieving the desired dish. Cooked slowly, the food retains its entire natural aroma and becomes imbued with the richness of flavors that distinguishes the “Dum Pukht” cuisine.

Culinary wonders like Murgh Chandi Tikka, Dum Pukht Badin Jaan, Shahi Nehari, Kakori kebab, Jhinga Dum Nisha, Koh-E-Awadh, the iconic Dum Pukht Biryani, are certain to titillate one’s palate with their unique flavors and presentation. Having enjoyed this unique dining experience you will be transferred back to your hotel.
