Dum Pukht - Kolad

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.

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 <br/

Excellent Awadhi food, great biryani and kebabs. Great selection of dessert as well, one of the best fine dining restaurants in the city.

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. <br/ Chef Imtiaz Qureshi has done a very good job on the menu ensuring the taste and quality of the food.<br/ Do try their Dal Bukhara Dum Pukht Biryani <br/ <br/ Overall this place is a must try.. if your are looking for something authentic
