BKC Vegetarian (V)
About This Dish
The BKC Vegetarian combo aggrandises classic North Indian flavours, curating them for plant-based palates. It brings together the fragrant and colourful Vegetable Biryani, the creamy, spiced delight of Dahi ke Kebab, and the traditional, robust warmth of Kadak Chai. This trio is hearty, aromatic, and soothing — fitting for a fulfilling lunch or midday treat.
Our Vegetable Biryani is a medley of seasonal vegetables and fragrant Basmati Rice, slow-cooked with whole spices and fresh herbs to create a rich, layered flavour. Dahi ke Kebab features soft, spiced dahi (curd) patties, lightly fried to golden perfection, delivering a delicate blend of tang and spice. To complete the meal, the Kadak Chai offers a comforting finish that cleanses the palate and complements the flavours beautifully.
History & Tradition
Vegetables have been an essential part of Indian cuisine for centuries, celebrated in countless dishes for their versatility and ability to absorb aromatic spices. A third of India’s population is purely vegetarian, though veganism is still a novel concept. Vegetarian biryanis have evolved alongside their meat-based counterparts, crafted with care to deliver the same depth and complexity without animal protein.
Dahi ke Kebab is a classic North Indian delicacy, hailing from Mughal-inspired kitchens where curd & yoghurt-based dishes were prized for their richness and gentle tang. These kebabs are a testament to Indian culinary ingenuity.
Kadak Chai remains a beloved staple throughout India — a strong, spiced tea that’s as much about ritual as flavour. The combination of these three dishes reflects the vegetarian culinary heritage of North India — as rich, if not more so, than its meaty counterpart.
What Makes it Special
What sets the BKC Vegetarian combo apart is its harmonious blend of textures and flavours, all without meat but with no compromise on richness or depth. The Vegetable Biryani delivers vibrant, fragrant rice cooked with fresh produce and a bouquet of spices, creating a feast for the senses. The Dahi ke Kebab adds a creamy, mildly spiced contrast — crispy on the outside yet soft inside. Kadak Chai’s bold, spiced character balances the meal perfectly, refreshing the palate with every sip.
Together, these dishes offer a complete, well-rounded experience of North Indian vegetarian cuisine — comforting, flavourful, and nourishing.

Secrets From The Masala Box – The Potli Masala of BKC, That Whispers Through Every Kebab!
In the royal kitchens of Lucknow, spices weren’t just ingredients — they were poetry, tied with care into soft muslin pouches called potlis. Our signature BKC Potli Masala is a legacy of that era — a blend of over a dozen herbs, roots, and florals, hand-roasted and crushed to perfection. Each potli carries the scent of home, the soul of tradition, the touch of time!
We don’t just season our kebabs — we honour them. From melt-in-mouth Galouti to charcoal-kissed tandoori Kebab, it’s this potli that lends each bite its haunting aroma and depth. Lazzat-e-Taam, they called it — the essence of taste. And at BKC, it’s the quiet secret behind every unforgettable kebab!
