Our Connoisseur Choice is taken from the Dumpukht style of cooking, which originated in the kitchens of Moghul Emperors’ court and is considered the pinnacle of Indian cuisine. The preparation of Dumpukht is so special that it is passed down through the family, from generation to generation, by word of mouth. Creating Dumpukht dishes is so demanding that only the finest Indian chefs are able to master them. The emphasis is on quality, freshness and flavour.
