The Story of Awadhi Cuisine Told in Three Generations at Chingari, Sheraton Grand Pune Bund Garden Hotel

At Chingari, where history and innovation intertwine, the newly launched menu is a heartfelt tribute to the soul of Awadhi cuisine—a celebration of flavors passed down through generation. The menu has been designed to beautifully capture how a dish has evolved with time cleverly illustrating the progress under 1st , 2nd and 3rd generation to showcase how it has come along through the decades.

The journey begins with 1st-generation classics like Dal Ka Shorba, which evolves into the robust Gosht Shorba, and finally, the elegant Awadhi Yakhni Shorba with Smoked Chicken. Even the breads tell a story—starting with the soft, delicate Roomali Roti, moving to the fragrant Pudina Paratha, and culminating in the bold French Onion and Cheddar Kulcha.

In appetizers, the traditional Reshami Kebab becomes the flavorful Nawabi Tikka in the second generation and takes on a modern twist as the Makhana-Crusted Chicken Kebab. In the main course, the iconic Nalli Ki Nihari transforms into the refined Nalli Gosht, and for a contemporary touch, turns into Sous Vide Chicken Roulade with Nihari Sauce.

In addition to this, what the menu does is celebrating vegetarian classics with the rich Badami Paneer from the first generation, which transforms into the comforting Paneer Tikka Masala, and reaches a creative crescendo with the Cottage Cheese and Jalapeño Kofta in Spinach Gravy, keeping up with the current times.

No meal is complete without dessert. The first generation’s beloved Seviyan is elevated to Warqi Angoori Rasmalai, and in the 3rd generation, it evolves into the indulgent Saffron and Fennel Crème Brûlée—a perfect blend of nostalgia and creativity.

Each dish on this new menu is a celebration of the old and the new, keeping the spirit of Awadhi cuisine alive while reimagining its future. Chingari invites you to savor this unique blend of tradition and modernity—a true culinary legacy served on a plate.
