We have all heard and read about Indian history and how prosperous this country was. We have been forced to read the lifestyle of various kings during our history lessons as well, All this time when I read about them or saw a video, I have always wanted to live the life of a king. I\u2019ve secretly wished many times there was a time machine that could take me back in time to witness the prosperous country and be a part of how the king’s life was. Like how they lived, their jewelry, the food they ate\u2026 I\u2019m always keen on the food they ate. The only living truth in Indian cuisine which defines the prosperity of the country and the rich lifestyle is the Awadhi Cuisine.<\/p>\n

Awadhi Cuisine claims its birth from the city of Nawabs, Lucknow. These Nawabs were from a distant land called Persia and they came to this country as Deputies for Moghuls and ended up being kings ruling the kingdom of Awadh. These Nawabs had a very lavish lifestyle and were used to a particular style of cooking which involved in No Oil but just Ghee. Fruits & Dry Fruits were the other prominent ingredients on the list. In Awadhi food aroma plays an important role & hence Gulab Jal (water) & Kewda, saffron plays a vital role. Why am I giving you Gyaan about all this?<\/p>\n

Because last weekend I was a Nawab for roughly about 3.5 hours. I was invited to this beautiful place called Feast India Company. This place is situated in Cunningham Road in Bangalore (address and google location at the bottom of the page). I was greeted by the owner of this place Ashish Kabadi and taken to a tour of a 99-year-old bungalow. This property actually belonged to a Royal family and the majority of its architecture is kept intact. The art collection was priceless, be it the Persian carpet, the huge tables, the painting from 1964 (Aspiration by Benjamin), Braille Vase or the footrest of a king from the chariot. I just felt like I entered a Museum of kings. It only fits that the food here should also match that of a king, with that thought now I was HUNGRY!<\/p>\n

We sat in the courtyard of this Bungalow which is the most demanded by customers. FIC has PDR\u2019s ( Private Dining Rooms ) which can accommodate 20-25 people giving them exclusive dining experience.<\/p>\n
