Daryaganj restaurant, a North Indian cuisine restaurant conceptualised with the principle of celebrating the culinary legacy of the late Kundan Lal Jaggi and the resilience and innovation of the Hindu Punjabi refugees, is all set to open its doors in New Delhi’s Aerocity and Connaught Place, thanks to his grandson Raghav Jaggi and his childhood friend, restaurateur Amit Bagga. Opening soon in Aerocity followed by its subsequent launch in Connaught Place, the culinary legacy of Daryaganj restaurant will serve tandoori dishes, especially butter chicken and dal makhani, which were credited to Jaggi senior. Raghav Jaggi, founder and promoter, iterates, “The Daryaganj brand is conceived as to celebrate the legacy of my grandfather by blending old-world flavours and closely guarded recipes with the most talented and creative team to truly create a best in class dining experience reminiscent of a bygone era." With the valuable inputs from late Kundan Lal Jaggi and his family on the secret recipes of that era, Delhi-born chef, Gurpreet Singh Gehdu, who has taken up the responsibility as brand chef, Daryaganj will recreate the taste and flavour of 1950s.
All age-old recipes have been reconstructed to be closest to the way they were served in 1950’s and the dishes that were invented then will be clearly marked as the original on the menu, like the original Butter Chicken and the original Dal Makhani.
Amit Bagga, coming from a family which was in the business of automobiles, diversified into the restaurant business a decade ago, and is a hands-on restaurateur. The food at DARYAGANJ restaurant will be a celebration of robust Indian flavors from the post-Independence era, brought to life using fresh local produce.
