A Kebab Born of Royalty
The origin of Galawati Kebab traces back to 19th-century Lucknow. A toothless Nawab, longing for kebabs but unable to chew, challenged chefs to create a dish that required no effort to eat. Haji Murad Ali, a one-handed culinary artist, rose to the occasion with a kebab so tender it would dissolve on the tongue. Thus, the legendary Galawati Kebab was born.
Carrying forward this legacy, Tunday Kababi has continued to serve this royal delicacy for over a century. The recipe has never been compromised, and the cooking method has been preserved with utmost reverence. This isn’t just food; it’s heritage on a plate. Today, you can taste this same piece of history in the heart of Dubai.
160 Spices, One Perfect Bite
What makes our Galawati Kebabs different? The secret lies in our legendary blend of 160 hand-ground spices, pounded into finely minced mutton, then rested and pan-seared to perfection. The result is a kebab that is:
- Ultra-soft and spreadable
- Rich in depth and aroma
- Balanced across sweet, spicy, and earthy notes
Our chefs still prepare them using traditional copper tawas and ghee, just like in the original Chowk kitchen. These aren’t mass-produced patties—each kebab is shaped and seared by hand, ensuring quality that machines simply can’t replicate.
Every bite of Galawati is a blend of time, care, and craftsmanship. It’s what makes guests return again and again. The richness of saffron, the warmth of cardamom, and the smoky char from the tawa all come together in perfect harmony.
The Dubai Experience
You don’t need to travel to Lucknow to taste history. Our Dubai locations in Jumeirah, Silicon Oasis, and Al Mina serve the same legendary kebabs, fresh off the tawa.
Pair it with:
- Roomali Roti for a light wrap
- Sheermal for a hint of sweetness
- Mint chutney and onion salad to cut the richness
We’ve recreated the same welcoming hospitality you’d experience in Lucknow, right here in the UAE. The ambiance, the aromas, and the service all reflect our commitment to authenticity. From expats seeking nostalgia to curious foodies looking to try something special, our Galawati Kebab speaks the language of love and tradition
