Mumbai: Where to Eat: Hot Spots: Peshawari and Dum Pukht

Peshawari and Dum Pukht

From Fiona Caulfield, author of the Love India travel guide series:

“The Times Food Guide dubs Peshawari ‘a carnivore’s Mecca.’ The foodie destination serves rugged northwest cuisine in a rustic setting. Often as the equivalent to Bukhara in Delhi, this is a finger-eating, bib-wearing place and has a robust fare. You can now take home cane of the famous dal, which is simmered all night.

Dum Pukht is a more sophisticated gourmet favorite with slow-cooked North Indian cuisine. The décor is refined and luxurious. Reservations essential.” Open daily 12.30pm-2.45pm, 7pm-11.45pm.
