Lovers of fine taste

Dumpukht, the iconic restaurant at the ITC Maurya in Capital, sumptuously explores the opulent art form — Dumpukht or ‘the food that breathes’, stroked by the slow fires of chinar wood, releasing in its wake a delicate intermingling of subtle flavours and aromas of exotic spices.

And in the now-transformed restaurant, the richness and royalty of the Awadhi cuisine also emanates in the ambience — the linen, the frescoes in the walls, the colours (a deep blue that offsets the white crockery), the napkin rings — everything regales you in a nawabi andaaz. The story of legendary proportions still continues. Signature favourites are quite the universal norm here; these include the Dumpukht kakori and the world famous Dumpukht biryani. While Chef Manisha Bhasin, senior executive chef, ITC Maurya, informs that besides being treated to an all-new Dumpukht, vis-a-vis the interiors, one can now look forward to many more vegetarian options. The soft and sumptuous seekh nilofari that comes with a fabulous naurattan chutney (a curious mix of ripe banana, raw mango, chaar magaz, pudhina, hari mirch, adrak, dhaniya and anaar), is known to convert even the most hardcore of mutton-lovers. The gucchhi sabz-e-zar is an addition to the erstwhile Dumpukht menu, a delicious, succulent enhancement to an ever ‘green’ palate, and the mirch baingan ka salan and the qasr-e-pukhtan are wonderful dishes too.

Dumpukht is truly an experience for all food lovers!
