The forte at Daryaganj is classic food that’s bursting with a rich history and robust flavours. Exquisite plates of kebabs and sumptuous Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani proffer traditional notes with the deftness of expert touch that ensures every single ingredient sings. The dishes on the menu transcend time, whisking you back to the lanes of twentieth-century Daryaganj and enthral you with the authentic flavours that generations have grown up with. The food is cooked with fresh, hand-picked ingredients, with a selection of tandoor grilled meats, seafood, and vegetables prepared to perfection. It is a celebration of North Indian flavours from the post-independence era, brought to life using local produce. The consistent winner throughout the meal is the texture, owing to the high-quality produce being of the similar specifications as used in that era, made from recipes handed down the generations of the Jaggi family staying true to their roots. The recipes have been reconstructed to be closest to the way Kundan Lal served them in 1947, staying true to their Punjabi roots. The idea is to recuperate the forgotten flavours on the palate. The signature dishes are marked as originals from 1947 as “The Original 1947 Butter Chicken” and “The Original 1947 Dal Makhani”. Few new dishes have also been innovated and have been added on the menu. The vision of tucking into an artisan kulfi from the live counter is one to relish. The nation was craving a taste of the crackling kulfi and at Daryaganj this is very, very nice marrying old techniques and new ingredients. Daryaganj pushes the boundaries on what you know about North Indian food. Every time a plate leaves our chef’s kitchen, we are aiming to amaze.
