Dum Pukht Begum’s

Dum Pukht Begum’s at ITC Kohenur, a LEED Platinum certified luxury hotel in Hyderabad’s HITEC City, is a grand celebration of the subcontinent’s most refined culinary traditions. The restaurant draws its inspiration from the opulent kitchens of Hyderabad’s Nizam dynasty and the legendary dum pukht cooking method, in which meats and vegetables are sealed in handis with dough and slow-cooked in their own juices, allowing the ingredients to develop an intensity of flavour and aroma that is unmistakable. The interiors are befitting of royalty, featuring huge arches, long pillars, gigantic crystal chandeliers, silken drapes, carpeted flooring, and well-spaced seating arrangements that evoke the grandeur of a Nawabi era dining hall. The menu spans the celebrated cuisines of Awadh, Bengal, and Hyderabad, prepared by chefs whose lineage of culinary knowledge dates back to the personal cooks of the Nawabs. Signature dishes include the melt-in-the-mouth Kakori Kebabs, the slow-cooked Dum Pukht Gosht Biryani, the Murgh Chandi Tikka, and the iconic Dal Dum Pukht. Desserts are adorned with the finest gossamer of gold and silver leaf, adding a final, theatrical flourish to a meal of exceptional depth and artistry. The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner and welcomes guests for both business entertaining and celebratory occasions.
