The one to order off the fire

The dal Bukhara, simmered overnight on the tandoor's embers, and the sikandari raan

Where to sit: Book ahead, ask for a table that looks into the glass-fronted kitchen.

What it burns: Charcoal in deep clay tandoors

Since 1977 the kitchen has run on tandoors; you eat with your hands, in a bib, at low wooden tables.

Cook it at home

1 hr plus 4 hr to overnight marinating · 4 people. A clay tandoor runs hotter than any home oven, so the trick is a two-stage marinade, a very hot oven or grill, and a final blast to char the edges. Bone-in legs stay juicy.
