The Culinary Ledger

The dishes we cook, the way we cook them.

Kababs from the iron tawa, karahis fired one at a time, breads still steaming when they reach the table.

Peshawari Must-Try

The dishes that define the kitchen

House Special

Mutton Ranjha Gosht

Mutton on the bone in a glossy, deeply spiced gravy that clings rather than pools. Finished with fresh green chilli and ginger threads. The kind of dish that quiets a table.

Signature Delicacy

Mutton Rosh
