Come and enjoy what I cook with love.

The secret of Awadhi cuisine lies in the manner in which the food is cooked on a slow fire and the spices used while making a dish. It does not use hundred-odd spices to produce each dish but a blend of a handful of uncommon spices.

Also, the slow cooking process allows the juices to be absorbed well into the food thus retaining all the nutrients. The process of marinating the meat is an important step for preparing Awadhi food as it gives a delightful taste and soft texture.

The unique taste of Awadhi is also obtained by the process of Tawa cooking which is different from the Mughlai style of cooking in a tandoor and grill.
