Bhuna Gosht
About This Dish
Bhuna Gosht is a rich and flavorful curry made with tender lamb cooked in a deeply spiced, aromatic sauce. The name “Bhuna” refers to the method of cooking, where the meat is first seared and then slowly simmered with a mix of onions, tomatoes, and ground spices. The lamb is marinated in yogurt and spices, and cooked until it is tender and succulent, absorbing the bold flavors of the sauce. The slow-cooked gravy is thick and aromatic, with hints of ginger, garlic, and cumin, creating a perfect balance between rich flavors and deep spices.
History & Tradition
Bhuna Gosht hails from the rich culinary tradition of North India, where slow-cooking and spice-blending techniques are integral to the preparation of meat dishes. The Bhuna method, which involves browning the meat and then simmering it in its own juices, was popularized during the Mughal era. Lamb is often the meat of choice for this curry, due to its tender texture and ability to absorb spices. Bhuna Gosht has become a staple in Indian households, especially in festive and celebratory settings, where it is served with naan or rice to complement its richness.
What Makes it Special
What makes Bhuna Gosht special is its deep, intense flavor and the careful searing of meat, which gives the dish a rich, smoky undertone. The spices are gently fried before the lamb is added, allowing the oil to infuse the meat with an unforgettable aroma. The slow-cooking process allows the lamb to become tender, while the sauce thickens and absorbs all the flavors, making each bite packed with savory goodness.

Ambur Biryani – The Final Firestorm of Flavour!
Last call to experience Tamil Nadu’s most iconic biryani — bold, blazing, and unlike anything else on the BKC menu. Ambur Biryani trades subtlety for heat, curd-marinated meat for punch, and layers for one smoky, spice-charged pot of seeraga samba rice cooked the traditional dum way. No saffron. No garnish. Just straight-up Southern soul.
It’s the last weekend of our May Biryani Bharat Yatra, and every previous batch has sold out fast. Limited pots. No repeats. Book now before the last ladle’s gone.
Available Friday–Sunday at:
• BKC Soho : 8 & 9 Moor Street, London - W1D 5ND
• BKC Marble Arch - 7 Edgware Road, Tyburnia, London W2 2ER

Jamai Shashti at BKC Soho – Now Completely Sold Out!
From the old courtyards of Bengal to the heart of London, we brought Jamai Shashti alive with the warmth of tradition, family, and food. A celebration of love between sasuri and jamai — served with mango bhapa doi, begun bhaja, aloo r dum, and fish paturi.

Jamai Shasthi – A Myth, A Meal, A Mother`s Blessing
Rooted in ancient Bengali folklore, Jamai Shasthi began with a tale of remorse and redemption. When a woman falsely accused a cat—sacred to Goddess Shasthi—of stealing food, the goddess took away her child in anger. The mother’s heartfelt prayers led to forgiveness, the child’s return, and the start of a tradition honouring honesty, motherhood, and divine protection.
Over time, this ritual blossomed into a day of grand feasting and family reunions. Jamai Shasthi became the moment when sons-in-law were pampered like royalty, and the spirit of love, food, and togetherness took centre stage. This Sunday, 1st June, BKC Soho invites you to relive this beautiful tradition — with an indulgent Bengali spread, nostalgic flavours, and the warmth of a mother’s table, right here in London.
