Tunday Kababi

About
us

More than a century ago, in the historic lanes of old Lucknow, a one-armed culinary genius named Haji Murad Ali—fondly remembered as Tunday Miyan—crafted a masterpiece that would become the pride of Awadhi cuisine. When a toothless Nawab desired a kebab that would melt effortlessly in the mouth, Murad Ali answered with perfection—his secret blend of rare spices and precise charcoal artistry gave birth to the legendary Galouti Kebab. From a modest stall in the bustling Chowk, his creation became the heartbeat of Lucknow’s culinary soul, drawing nawabs, commoners, and food lovers alike. Generation after generation, his family preserved this sacred recipe—never written, always whispered—guarding its essence with devotion and discipline. No shortcuts, no compromise—each kebab remains a poem of patience, craftsmanship, and legacy. Today, Tunday Kababi stands as more than a restaurant; it is a bridge between the grandeur of the Nawabi era and the timeless charm of Lucknow itself. Every skewer tells a story, every bite carries a century of history, and every flavour pays homage to the one-armed legend whose art continues to define what true tradition tastes like.
