The food there was amazing . I am really missing the fragrant chicken pulao . It’s brilliant . Order takes time because the biryani takes time to prepare . So plan accordingly . And they won’t take pre orders on the phone. The setup of the place is prefer for a family meal or a date too
Excellent Awadhi food, great biryani and kebabs. Great selection of dessert as well, one of the best fine dining restaurants in the city.

I want to start with the amazing interiors and staff of this restaurant. We went for a lunch on a weekday so the place was relatively empty. The ambiance and decor was great, something you would expect from 5 star restaurant. The staff was really courteous and helped us optimise our order. Now coming to food, we went with the specialities of this place starting with Kakori kebab then moving to mutton biryani and finally having gulab ki kheer. It was meal sufficient for two adults. The kebabs were really well cooked and served along side a small bread of sheer maal. The spices really stood out in each bite of the kebab. Personally for me the garam masala was on the higher side but was still good enough for me. Next we had mutton biryani which was again really good. The aroma of saffron was very prominent in each bite and the meat fell of the bones very nicely. The raita alongside biryani was another winner. Again I would have preferred a little less saffron but it was good nonetheless. Finally based on the recommendation from the staff, we had gulab ki kheer which was great. The aroma was great and you could taste the dried rose petals in the kheer which was a unique experience for me. Obviously the price is on the higher side since it's in a five star property but the place is meant for special occasions. Worth a visit.
Beautiful ambience and delicious food!
Kakori kebabs literally melt in your mouth. Undoubtedly the best kebabs I’ve ever had. They are a must try.
Loved the Biryani, it isn’t your typical oily masaledaar Biryani.
Dessert portion was kinda tiny, but delicious.
Dum Pukht is well known for it’s Lucknowee style Biryani.
Chef Imtiaz Qureshi has done a very good job on the menu ensuring the taste and quality of the food.
Do try their Dal Bukhara & Dum Pukht Biryani
Overall this place is a must try.. if your are looking for something authentic
Dum Pukht Kakori Is out of this world. A delicate melt in mouth kabab of finely minced lamb.
Shahi Nehari - The lamb was super soft (cooked overnight with aromatic potli masala then assimilate with the extract of basmati in milk and almond paste).
Dum Pukht biryani - Basmati rice simmered with lamb in mace ittar and kewra. You should try this if you happen to visit this place.
Now coming to desserts. Yes, Zauk E Shahi wins the race against Kulfi. Kulfi was delicious too but Zauk E Shahi (made of khoya dumplings with saffron flavoured reduced milk) was amazing.
All in all a good Experience!

I had visited the restaurant for a dinner with my wife after booking a table under the Dineout Gourmetlicious festival.
A non-vegetarian meal for 2 comprised of the following:-
Starters : Dum Pukth Kakori and Seekh Gilafi Dumpukth
Main Course : Murgh Handi Qorma, Shahi Nehari and Maash Qaliya, followed by Dum Pukth Biryani with Raita (and, Chicken Pulao - we had requested for a chicken dish as my wife does not eat mutton)
Dessert : Kulfi Badshah Pasand and Zauk-e-Shahi
The ambience is fabulous - styled in, what I am assuming, the fashion of the Lucknowi Imam's Darbars.
The service is impeccable- the service personnel were very courteous, prompt with their advice( always spot-on with it) as responsible as the Chef and their staff in elevating the entire experience of the evening.
Each of the aforementioned dishes were of generous proportions - both of us received one serving of each item.
The food preparation(s) were on a different level - especially, the Murgh Handi Qorma and the Maash Qaliya (dal). Both, my wife and I, concurred that the dal was one of the best we every had.
All-in-all, an amazing experience and I would, most definitely, be visiting the restaurant again.

Mesmerizing with the moment you step into the restaurant. Nawab looks made more authentic with pigeons statues on all tables. Ambience was something you can look forward too... but most of all the food is worth everything.
The seekh gilafi dum pukht and the kakori kebabs were mouth melting good. The shorba had only 1 nonveg option but was served at the correct temperature and taste was again something you look forward too.. the murgh pasand chicken gravy and the mutton biryani and the dum chicken biryani was like to the perfect. The chef has done a great job. And for dessert from shahi tukda to zauk e shahi to the kesari phirni it was all worth ending the meal with.
Special mention of vaibhav who soo attentive at the table and anticipation of needs. Made extra efforts to fix up the mocktail that i desired and wasn’t part of their menu. Also Nikhil who was ever ready with suggestions.
Last but not the least the only thing they need to work is on their mocktail menu which has only 4 options and on the shorba menu which had 2 veg n 1 nveg option.
This restaurant comes in the list of top 10 Indian restaurants, so had to try. Housed on the ground floor of ITC Grand Maratha, ambience is perfect with awadhi/ lucknowi theme. Being a vegetarian my choices were limited but still no regrets. The food quality as well as the taste both were good. The staff is very polite. Service was excellent and so was the silverware and table arrangement. Overall a nice place only thing is it would be great to have more options for vegetarians.
When it comes to the word Peshawari or the indian masala meal, what other than Dum Phukt...The best cuisine served in an ambeince of the royal era.
Had the mutton Galouti kebabs which was cooked exactly as it is suppose to be. Tender, creamy and the melt in the mouth delicacy, just perfect. Have tried the dudhiya kebab and the prawns.
A birthplace for the several delicacies like Lucknawi favourful lamb Biryani , juiciest kebabs and finally the paan to complete the treat.
A must try @ITC Maratha.

Dum Pukht: A Gastronomic Journey Through Persian Delights
Nestled in the heart of Mumbai, Dum Pukht is a beacon of Persian culinary excellence that truly stands out. My recent visit to this restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary, combining an ambiance resonating with Persian cultural accents, a delectable array of dishes, and exceptional service.
Culinary Extravaganza:
The restaurant's pride lies in its meticulously crafted set meals, curated to offer a diverse journey through Persian cuisine. The starters, an opulent assortment of flavors and textures, were a perfect introduction to the richness that awaited. From aromatic saffron-infused kebabs to delicate mezze platters, each bite was a testament to the chef's mastery.
The crown jewel of Dum Pukht is undoubtedly their marvelous biryani. The fragrant blend of spices, perfectly cooked basmati rice, and tender meat, all sealed in an earthen pot, exuded an aroma that alone could entice the senses. Each spoonful was a symphony of flavors, transporting me to the streets of Persia.
Service Par Excellence:
Among the myriad reasons that made this dining experience exceptional was the remarkable service, particularly from Naveen. His attentiveness, knowledge about the menu, and impeccable timing in serving made the evening even more delightful. Despite his remarkable service, Naveen humbly felt he hadn't done enough, showcasing his dedication and commitment to ensuring an impeccable dining experience for each guest.
Conclusion:
Dum Pukht isn't just a restaurant; it's a cultural journey through Persian culinary traditions. The amalgamation of exquisite food, serene ambiance, and outstanding service, especially from individuals like Naveen, makes it a must-visit for connoisseurs of fine dining and those seeking an authentic taste of Persian cuisine.
I wholeheartedly appreciate Naveen's efforts and the entire team at Dum Pukht for an unforgettable dining experience that surpassed all expectations.

For me, personally, Dum Pukht is the greatest dining room in the world for Awadhi food specifically. The menu is classic, inspired from 200 year old recipes which were cooked in the royal kitchens of Awadh under the rulership of Nawabs. This has been extensively researched by the ITC Master Chefs when they were opening the original Dum Pukht at ITC Maurya and it’s clearly evident in the taste. The Dum Pukht here in mumbai is excellent since Imitiaz Qureshi Ji had shifted to this branch and all the favourites were and are to date faithfully rendered. Current head chef Asif Qureshi Ji is also an excellent chef giving out great dishes consistently. The melt in mouth Kakori Kebab is out of this world, something that has the potential to stay on your palette for years, beautifully seasoned and cooked to perfection it’s a perfect representation of a kebab. Biryani, I have no words. Truly fantastic. It definitely has that ‘Nazakat’ in truest sense. It’s mildly spiced, contains perfectly cooked pieces of prime cuts of lamb and is very fragrant. Culinary craft of the best possible level. The only area where Dum Pukht needs to work is on their curries if I had to critique. The dining room also needs a revamp I guess considering the interiors of other Dum Pukht branches. Rest, I think it’s perfection. Service is also amazing, shoutout to Priya for making my lunch worthwhile. But there’s some scope of improvement in attentiveness of the server, like if my glass of water is almost going to empty, the server should notice and fill it up & thing’s similar to this can be improvised. I took the single diner experience and it was money! Set menus are interesting since they allow unlimited portions in that. Ala Carte is tricky since the prices are overwhelmingly expensive for the portions provided, nothing wrong with the food just the portions can be at least incremented to justify the prices. If you just focus on the Kebabs & Biryani of Dum Pukht at Maratha, you are sure to achieve some sort of culinary enlightenment haha!
Dum Pukht serves traditional North Indian food and is especially well-known for its tasty, slow-cooked dishes. A wonderful dining experience is enhanced by the sophisticated setting and flawless service. Even though it's expensive, the real flavors and majestic setting make it a great option for anyone looking to enjoy royal Indian cuisine.
One of the best biryanis for auhdi style food lovers .

Absolutely loved dining at this restaurant! The ambiance was charming, the service top-notch, and the food was a delightful blend of flavors that left my taste buds dancing. From appetizers to dessert, every dish was a masterpiece. Can't wait to return for another amazing culinary experience!

Big fan of Dum Phukt at ITC Kohenur and was inspired to check this out. Went for the single diner menu which is two starters, one main, one dal, biriyani, bread of your choice, raita and dessert.
There were a few dishes which were a lil off like the spices in the kakori and salt levels in the khorma/breads, but the sinfulness of their dessert and the awadhi style biriyani made up for it.
Also the service staff and chefs taking a serious note of the feedback is well appreciated.
Traditional Indian fine dining with grilled dishes that are so very well seasoned! Especially in love with the prawns! Also, service crew were super attentive!
