Some dishes don’t need reinvention. They need respect.

Goat curry is one of them.

For a decade at 1947 Eatery, we have stayed true to the original.

Slow cooked. Deep, dark spices. No shortcuts. No trends.

Just patience, balance and flavour that builds with every bite.

This is how it has always been done.
This is how we will always serve it.
If you know, you know.
If you don’t, it’s time you tried it.

Jalebi is not something you plate. It is something you make in the moment.

The batter hits hot ghee. The swirl forms in seconds. Straight into warm syrup with saffron and rose. No holding. No shortcuts. You get it as it was meant to be eaten.

It is one of the most recognised sweets across the subcontinent, but very few places take the time to do it fresh for every order.

This is that version.

The great Indian debate.

Veg Biryani or Veg Pulao?

Some say veg biryani does not exist.
Others defend it with passion.

At 1947 Eatery and Times of India, we believe the difference is simple.

If vegetables are cooked first and rice is added later, that is pulao.
If the rice and marinated vegetables are layered, sealed and cooked on dum with saffron and spices, that is biryani.

So we made ours the traditional way.

Layered.
Sealed.
Slow cooked.

Now the question is yours to answer.

Veg Biryani or Veg Pulao?

Tell us what you think in the comments. Then come try our three dum biryanis and decide for yourself.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝟭𝟵𝟰𝟳 𝗘𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘂.

Three authentic Dum Biriyanis.
A re-engineered Tandoor grill selection.
Curries that travel from Old Delhi to Bengal, from Hyderabad to the coasts of Goa.
A culinary journey crafted with depth, heritage and precision.

For a decade, you have known us for authenticity.
This menu elevates that promise.

Every dish is deliberate.
Every spice has purpose.
Every section tells a story.

From the House of Biryani to the Royal Nihari.
From bold Zamindari grills to classics slow cooked the traditional way.
This is India on a plate. Refined. Honest. Unapologetic.

Celebrate with flavour that carries history.
