Tucked away in Mumbai Suburban, Dum Pukht revives the vanished courtly craft of slow-sealed cooking, turning dinner into a regal ceremony. Here, basmati grains absorb saffron over hours, lamb shanks surrender to gentle steam, and every clay-sealed handi arrives like a time capsule from Awadh. In a city that races, this restaurant dares to pause, proving that India’s most memorable restaurants still choose patience as their signature spice.

Dum Pukht at ITC Maratha revives the slow-cooked grandeur of Awadh amid Andheri’s bustle: gosht ki nihari that slips off the bone, pearly kakori kebabs scented with rose, and biryanis sealed under a buttery roti lid, served in a chandeliered hall that still remembers the nawabs.

More information
What exactly is Dum Pukht and why is it famous among restaurants in India?
Dum Pukht is an award-winning fine-dining restaurant inside Mumbai’s ITC Maratha that revives the 200-year-old Awadhi slow-cooking tradition; sealing marinated meats, basmati rice and hand-pounded spices in handi pots and letting them simmer over a gentle flame, a method that concentrates flavours so deeply it has become a benchmark for royal Indian cuisine across the country.
Where is Dum Pukht located and how do I reach it from the airport?
The restaurant sits on Shankar Mandal Road in Ashok Nagar, Andheri East, inside the ITC Maratha hotel—barely a 10-minute drive from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport—so you can go straight from baggage claim to biryani in under half an hour.
Do I need a reservation and what is the average cost per person?
Because the 4.5-star venue only seats a limited number of guests to preserve its tranquil, courtly ambience, advance booking is strongly advised; expect to spend around INR 4,500–5,000 per person for a three-course meal, a figure that mirrors the premium ingredients and meticulous service.
How can I reserve a table or ask about dietary options?
Call +91 22 2830 3030, visit the ITC Maratha website (https://www.itchotels.com/in/en/itcmaratha-mumbai), or email the concierge; the culinary team will gladly adapt gluten-free, jain or low-spice versions of signature dishes like the Dum Pukht Biryani or Kakori Kebab without compromising authenticity.
