We are set to unveil Phase Two of the revival of Tai Kwun’s Central Magistracy with Prince and the Peacock, a living ode to the grandeur, recipes and traditions of the royal houses of India’s princely states. Throughout the ages, the Indian subcontinent has laid the foundation for a rich assortment of kingdoms and cultures. In the era of the princely states, Maharajas and Maharanis, Nawabs, Nizams, Emperors and more reigned not merely as authorities looking to amass territories and consolidate power, but also as devoted patrons of the arts, governing their territories with a passion for the poetic and the beautiful — before, throughout and after colonial rule. Among the lasting contributions to art and culture that these princely states passed down through generations, it is their enduring culinary legacies that stand as testament to their grandeur. Chef Palash M. spent time early in his career working in some of these royal Indian palaces, which long ago planted the seed for this vision. With Prince and the Peacock, he welcomes guests on a multifaceted journey through the opulence and beauty of the nation’s majestic past, drawing from the culinary tapestries of the royal courts through dishes that resurrect the grandeur that adorned the royal tables throughout India's history — from ingredients to techniques to the legends that followed them, emblematic of our passion for telling stories through food. The 60-seat space is an invitation to dine in the grandeur of the princely courts and is designed by the award-winning Joyce Wang of Joyce Wang Studio, who has worked closely with Indian artisans to bring the authenticity of regal Indian furniture and honour traditional Indian craftsmanship. An idea that was years — or in a way, centuries — in the making, it is a restaurant that we have always dreamed of opening. We look forward to welcoming you next month.
You wait til you taste the most innovative creations free of the heavy thick greasy oils that you get to eat in Delhi
