Oudh 1722
Overview
From the royal kitchens of 18th-century Lucknow to a Grade II–listed Victorian building in Borough, chef Aktar Islam introduces Oudh 1722, his expression of Awadhi tradition. Shaped by the intermingling of Persian, Mughal, and Central Asian influences, Awadhi cuisine is one of India’s most distinguished culinary legacies. Famed for its melt-in-the-mouth kebabs, saffron-scented biryanis, and subtle slow-cooked curries, it is defined by patience, refinement, and centuries of royal ambition. At Oudh 1722, the menu celebrates a cuisine shaped by heritage, generosity, and the pleasure of sharing.
