Indian royalty didn’t just eat they dined in a way that blended grandeur, tradition, and the finest culinary craftsmanship. Every meal was a feast, every dish a masterpiece. And now, you don’t have to be in an ancient palace to experience it. At Queen’s Tandoor Bali, we bring the royal Indian dining experience to your table, complete with authentic flavors, lavish presentation, and centuries-old recipes once reserved for kings and queens.

1. The Royal Thali: A Feast Fit for a King

A true Maharaja never settled for just one dish. The royal thali is a multi-course spread, offering a variety of flavors, textures, and aromas on a single plate. From rich, slow-cooked curries to delicate sweets, each element is carefully curated to reflect India’s diverse culinary heritage.

What to expect:

• A grand platter with a variety of dishes
• Signature recipes from royal kitchens
• Traditional silver and brass serving ware
• Sweet, savory, and spicy flavors in perfect harmony

2. Secret Recipes from the Palaces of India

Many royal dishes were closely guarded secrets, passed down within palace kitchens. At Queen’s Tandoor, we revive these recipes, using authentic techniques and premium ingredients to ensure every bite tells a story of heritage and indulgence.

Royal delicacies you must try:

• Nalli Nihari – A slow-cooked lamb stew, once reserved for Mughal emperors
• Shahi Paneer – A creamy, saffron-infused delicacy from North India
• Dum Biryani – A fragrant rice dish sealed and slow-cooked to perfection
• Badami Korma – A rich, almond-based curry from the kitchens of Rajasthan

3. Dining Like a Maharaja: The Experience

Eating like royalty is not just about the food it’s about the entire experience. Traditional music, elegant décor, and impeccable service all come together to transport you to an era of luxury.

Royal dining elements we bring to you:

• Handcrafted décor inspired by Indian palaces
• Personalized service fit for a king
• Candlelit dinners for an intimate, regal atmosphere
• Custom menus tailored to your taste preferences

4. The Art of Slow Cooking: Dum Pukht

Royal chefs perfected the art of slow cooking, known as Dum Pukht, where dishes are sealed and cooked over low heat to enhance flavors. This technique ensures melt-in-your-mouth textures and deep, aromatic flavors.

Why it’s special:

• Seals in natural juices and flavors
• Creates a rich, smoky aroma
• Brings out deep, layered spices in every bite

5. Sweet Endings: Desserts Worthy of a King

No royal feast is complete without indulgent desserts. Ancient Indian sweets were crafted using the finest saffron, cardamom, and nuts, ensuring a luxurious finish to every meal.

Must-try royal desserts:

• Gulab Jamun – Soft, saffron-infused dumplings soaked in rose syrup
• Rasmalai – Delicate cheese patties soaked in sweetened milk
• Kesari Halwa – A rich saffron and semolina pudding
• Shahi Tukda – A Mughal-inspired bread pudding with nuts and cream
