A Decor that is Simple yet Stunning
Just as you enter, you find yourself straddling both history and flavor. The décor has had its inspiration drawn from Mughal Palaces with intricately carved work, subdued atmospheric lighting, plush seating, and golden hues that speak the language of the ingredients. Our simple yet goal-driven aim is to inculcate the true soul of Mughlai cuisine right here, in Dubai, without any compromise on authenticity. Preparing every dish with authentic old recipes passed down generation after generation, using the very spices and ingredients that were once cooked in the royal kitchens of Delhi and Lucknow, from mouth-watering creamy kormas and buttery naans to char-grilled kebabs and fragrant biryanis; the entire menu speaks of India’s vast culinary heritage.
Bringing back the Authentic Flavours
Unlike most Indian cooking styles, Mughlai cuisine is known for its deeper layers and richness of taste. Our chefs provide a very discerning balance of spices that include cardamom, saffron, mace, and nutmeg to create the most authentic Mughlai food in Dubai.
An emphasis on layering flavors using the exact number of spices needed has been made by these chefs. Murgh Musallam, Rogan Josh, and Galouti Kebabs feature prominently among the signature dishes of Captain Zaiqey. All these dishes are cooked to perfection, tender, and delightfully flavorful, with tastes that would last in memory long after eating.
We embrace the wide and modern dining culture that has grown in Dubai, alongside the traditional roots of Mughlai. Our Mughlai food in Dubai is thus an alluring mix of traditional favorites and original ones, tempting the appetites of seasoned gourmands and curious beginners alike, with options for vegetarians and exquisite desserts such as Shahi Tukda and Rabri Kheer. To round off the array of offerings is the hand-picked range of beverages that cater to every palate.
Beyond food, we offer an experience: a warm, inviting ambiance infusing Indian warmth with Dubai cosmopolitanism, whether for a friend’s catch-up, a special occasion, or just a midweek treat.
