Timings:
Balkh Bukhara
For centuries fired ovens have shaped human settlements, cities, empires
and our civilization. From cooking our food to forging metal for our
wars and baking mud and bricks to build our cities, fire does it all.
War kills, cities are too expensive to build, but food is something we
can cook, and cook rather well. At Balkh Bukhara, we pay an ode to fire,
our primal witness, with food that has evolved and has survived the
most fires of both creation and destruction. Fires that were raged by
armies of some of the greatest empires of the ancient and medieval world
and fires that kindled the finest arts, culture, architecture,
craftsmanship, religion, theology, trade and of course, food.
The use of the cylindrical clay oven and
an exotic blend of spices set apart this cooking technique from any
other in the world. The spice mix is often a closely guarded family
secret passed on through the generations or by a master chef to a
deserving understudy after years of tutelage. We have the good fortune
of embracing the skills and secrets of a master chef in the direct
lineage of cooks from the house of Lucknowi Nawabs. We’ve gone further
and kindled a fire in our Tandoors that bears a witness to the rich
history of this food – an ode to Balkh and Bukhara for the discerning
foodies of the Tricity.
