Lucknowi biryani has a soul of its own - delicate, perfumed, layered with patience, and built on a quiet confidence that only tradition can teach. At BKC, this is the biryani our guests come looking for, the one that makes people say “Biryani Matlab BKC” with a smile before the first spoonful even lands on their plate.
At BKC, we honour this craft the traditional way - with the finest long-grain basmati available in the UK, handpicked after months of testing; with ittar, the edible perfume of Lucknow sourced from old perfumers who’ve been scenting biryanis for generations; with fresh produce, hand-pounded masalas, saffron, browned onions and a patient dum that cannot be rushed. Every layer in our kitchen - the marinade, the rice, the sealing of the pot - is done with the same care that defines Awadhi biryani at its purest.
Next Sunday, catch Chefs Arsh Thakur and Himanshu Verma in action as they bring the flavours of Rajasthan alive at BKC Soho. Watch Laal Maas simmer, Gatta Curry take shape, and Dal - Batti - Churma come together with the warmth and soul of true regional cooking. A winter evening built on spice, memory, and tradition.
It’s a one-night showcase of stories and skill - two chefs revisiting the food they grew up with, plating it fresh for London. Join us next Sunday for an intimate, flavour-packed celebration of Rajasthan’s most loved dishes.

Kacchi Biryani - A Symphony of Spice, Slow-Cooked for Winter Nights
Winter in London calls for warmth that lingers - from the sparkle of Winter Wonderland to the festive buzz of Soho and Marble Arch. And in this season of lights, nothing comforts like a biryani born from Dhaka’s wedding feasts and celebratory tables. Rich, unctuous, and deeply aromatic, Kacchi Biryani is the kind of dish that turns a cold evening into something softer.
At BKC, we honour this Bangladeshi classic the traditional way: raw, marinated lamb layered with fragrant rice, saffron, browned onions, nutmeg, mace, long green chillies, and ghee, sealed and slow-cooked on dum. Every grain absorbs the marinade, every bite delivers warmth, spice, and soul. It’s the first chapter of our Biryani Diaries - and the perfect winter indulgence after a day out in central London.

For our second Supper Club, we welcome Chef Himanshu Verma - a 26-year-old chef whose journey spans New Delhi, Dubai and now London. His earliest memory of cooking is making a cup of chai for his mother at the age of eight - a small moment that revealed the joy of feeding someone. From Indian street-food roots to training in modern European and Japanese kitchens, Himanshu carries a blend of tradition, technique and quiet nostalgia into everything he cooks.
For Supper Club 2.0, Himanshu collaborates with Chef Arsh Thakur to bring a Rajasthan-inspired menu close to both their hearts - Laal Maas, Gatta Curry, Batti–Churma, Khaman, Dhokla and Ghewar. These dishes echo festivals, family kitchens and the warmth of their childhoods. Two chefs retracing their roots, creating a menu shaped by memory, heritage and the flavours that raised them.

After a sold-out first supper club, we return on 14th December with a menu steeped in memory and nostalgia. Chef Arsh Thakur and Chef Himanshu Verma come together to revisit the Rajasthan they love - the slow heat of Laal Maas, the comfort of Gatta Curry, and the festival sweetness of Ghewar. These are flavours shaped in home kitchens, carried through generations, and brought to Soho for one special night.
What unfolds is a menu that feels handwritten by time – Dal – Batti - Churma like it’s made in village courtyards, Khaman and Dhokla recalling festive spreads, and Laal Maas cooked with the unmistakable fire of Mathania chillies. This is more than collaboration; it’s two chefs tracing their roots, honouring their stories, and inviting London to taste food from the city they love!
