Tunday Kababi
Tunday Kababi is a restaurant in Gurugram specializing in Mughlai and Awadhi dishes, particularly hand-crafted kebabs and biryanis cooked over charcoal for a smoky flavor. The kitchen is open to view, and the space offers communal seating and standing areas designed for quick, informal dining.
The restaurant traces its roots to a small shop in Lucknow founded over 125 years ago, renowned for its Galauti Kebabs and traditional recipes passed down through generations. The Gurugram location carries this established tradition of Northern Indian cooking into the present day.
The name Tunday comes from a founder in Lucknow who lost his hand and was called 'Tunda' in the local language; his kebabs took his name and the tradition continues today. Visitors come to experience this part of Mughlai culture and share meals with others in a simple, communal setting that reflects how local families have eaten for generations.
It is best to dine at the restaurant rather than taking food away, since taste and quality suffer during transport; staff are not formally trained but respond well to courtesy and respect. The place gets crowded during peak hours, especially at dinner time, so allow extra time for your visit.
The Galauti Kebabs are intentionally made tender enough to eat without teeth, with a charred outside and soft inside that melts on the tongue. They are served with Warki Paranthas cooked on an upside-down pan, giving them a unique texture found nowhere else.
