Our story
Born from a grandmother's recipe diary
Every dish at Amara traces back to a handwritten recipe diary from the kitchens of a small royal household in Awadh — dal simmered for two days, kebabs pounded by hand, biryani sealed under dum. In 2014 we opened our doors in Banjara Hills with that diary and a single tandoor.
- Dals and gravies cooked for 24–48 hours
- Tandoor fired fresh, three times a day
- Spices ground in-house every morning
What our guests say
“The Royal Thali is a feast and a half — every dish tastes like it was made for a durbar. The dal makhani is the best I've had outside Delhi.”
Kavitha R.
Royal Veg Thali · ★★★★★
“Booked a table for my parents' anniversary. They dimmed the lights, rolled out the galouti kebabs, and the staff treated them like royalty. Worth every rupee.”

“Ordered the dum biryani on WhatsApp — delivered warm, sealed properly, and the saffron aroma hit the moment I opened it.”
