Daawat-e-Nawab takes immense pleasure in laying on your table culinary masterpieces from the Imperial Kitchens of the Nawabs of undivided India and also acquainting you with the nobility of a bygone era- the Nawaabs. What gained precedence over all other indulgences,were their Dawats (royal feasts). They would spend a fortune on ceremonial spreads and feats to their hearts content. When the royal cooks- a highly prized and zealously protected lot - delighted them,their generosity knew no bounds. Fragrant and flavourful kormas , salans ,kheemas , kababs and subzis were prepared by a multitude of chefs including Bawarchis,who cooked in large cauldrons; the Rakabdars or gourmet chefs ; and the Nanfus who rolled out an assortment of rotis (indian breads). The cooks competed amongst themselves to create something truly inventive and unexpected. They riddled the Nawabs by adding secret ingredients to dishes. To maintain the novelty of their cuisine,trade secrets were disclosed only to the successors of the royal cooks. The continuous experimentation with ingredients and the infusion of the most unlikely flavor resulted in a profusion of ingenious offerings. We at Daawat-e-Nawab will be introducing the divine creations month after month and enchanting you with a singular dining experience that takes you back to the days of the Nawabi glory.
