Most eateries lure customers in with Biryanis, Kebabs and Kormas in the name of fine dining, but some Indore restaurants go the extra mile by serving up some truly authentic imperial dishes that are sure to fill your nostrils with the glorious aroma that once filled the royal kitchens of India. Not to mention, the crisp Naan and creamy Daal that form the backbone of Indian cuisine.

Luxury restaurants in Indore are bringing history alive, as they recreate traditional favourites with a modern twist.
