The riwayti dastarkhwans of Puraani Dilli embody Dilli's spirit of mehmaan nawazi. It's not the just food which is served, but the love of the mezbaan, too. Visiting purani Dilli during the month of Ramzan will surely mesmerise you with its charm as it enhances the beauty of those bazaars. Although, Purani Dilli is always decked up like a Doll, on festivals and occasions like Eid and Ramzaan it is adored like a bride. There are hundreds of hotels and restaurants offering mouth-watering food in and around Delhi but all of them have western & modern style ambience. We have forgotten our old legacy of sitting on the floor and having food on lavish dastarkhwan in a mansion. Let’s introduce you to our age-old tehzeeb with our ‘Dawat-e-Dastarkhwan’. Menu - Starter - Chicken Barra Chicken Chatpata Main Course - Nahari ( Mutton ) - Slow-cooked meat mainly shank meat of mutton along with bone marrow Haleem - A stew popular in the Indian subcontinent. Haleem is made of wheat, barley, porridge, minced meat, lentils and spices, sometimes rice is also used.

Mutanjan was a favourite dish of Emperor Shahjahan and the dish was often prepared for his royal banquet, back in Mughal era.
