Among the offerings will be an authentic 'kacche gosht ki biryani', a Hyderabadi dish which is considered the ultimate measure of a chef's skill.
Khan said: "Hyderabad is renowned around the world for its distinctive cuisine which is blended from Mughlai, Turkish and Arabic influences. I’m looking forward to bringing the flavours of my home to Dubai with a selection of some of my favourite dishes.”
Highlights include dum ka murgh (chicken braised in a rich curry of yoghurt and nuts), haleem (a ‘porridge’ of slow cooked lamb, wheat and lentils) and pathar ka gosht (lamb kebabs cooked on a hot stone).
The special Hyderabadi dégustation menu is available from AED330. An a la carte menu will also be available.
