Peshawri

About Peshawri

As a newcomer wandering the foodscape of Mumbai, stepping into Peshawri felt like being transported to the rugged frontiers of the North-West, where the ancient tradition of eating with your hands becomes a celebration of authenticity and flavor. This legendary restaurant, sibling to Delhi's famous Bukhara, isn't just serving food—it's preserving a way of dining that connects you directly to the primal pleasure of perfectly grilled meats and freshly baked breads. The smoky kebabs arrive with char marks that tell the story of expert tandoor mastery, while those kullechas emerge warm and pillowy, perfect vessels for soaking up the rich, complex flavors that define frontier cuisine. What makes Peshawri special isn't just the no-cutlery policy that forces you to eat the way the North intended—it's the way this restaurant has managed to create an experience that feels both ritualistic and deeply satisfying, where every meal becomes a journey back to the basics of great cooking: fire, skill, and ingredients treated with respect.
