Holiday Inn Gurgaon NH8 has introduced “Nawabi Bites”, a culinary festival that brings the timeless charm and rich flavours of Lucknow’s royal kitchens to Gurgaon. Awadhi cuisine, known for its subtle spices and soulful depth, takes centre stage at this festival, offering guests an authentic taste of the celebrated Nawabi heritage. Curated by Executive Chef Deep Dubey, the menu reflects the finesse and tradition that define Lucknow’s iconic dishes.

Guests can enjoy a spread that includes classics like Ghosht Seekh Kebab with its melt-in-mouth texture, Aminabadi Dum Biryani prepared using the age-old dum technique, and Mutton Nihari, a slow-cooked delicacy that highlights the richness of Awadhi flavours. The menu also features Lucknowi Korma, known for its smooth and aromatic gravy, and the royal Shahi Tukda, a dessert that completes the meal with its traditional sweetness. Each dish showcases the culinary artistry and thoughtful preparation that reflect Lucknow’s food culture.

Speaking about the festival, Ms. Mukta Khanna, General Manager, shared, “In Lucknow, food is a language of care. Every dish speaks of heritage, patience and respect.
