Inside Amara Café

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.”
