Our Story

Where ancient spice
meets open flame

In 2018, chef Arjun Malhotra returned from training under Heston Blumenthal with a singular ambition: to cook the food his grandmother made in Lucknow, elevated by everything he'd learned about technique, fire, and precision.

The result is Saffron & Smoke — a kitchen where clay pots share space with water baths, where the tandoor burns through every service, and where every dish tells the story of a spice route stretching centuries into the past.

Our menu changes with the seasons and the harvest. Our hospitality never does.
