Galouti
About This Dish
Galouti Kebab is a tender lamb kebab that melts in your mouth. The finely minced lamb is marinated with a blend of 130 spices, including cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves, before being grilled to perfection. This kebab is traditionally served with roomali roti and is one of the most sought-after dishes in Awadhi cuisine. It is known for its delicate texture and mild, aromatic flavor. It’s a must-try for those seeking royal Mughlai dishes.
History & Tradition
Galouti Kebab has a fascinating backstory linked to the Nawabs of Lucknow. Legend has it that the Nawab of Lucknow, suffering from poor dental health, requested a kebab that would melt in his mouth without the need for chewing. The solution was the Galouti Kebab, created with minced lamb, tenderizing spices, and slow grilling to achieve the perfect texture. This kebab represents the refined, sophisticated flavors of Lucknowi cuisine and Mughal culinary influences.
What Makes It Special
What makes Galouti Kebab special is the unique blend of spices and delicate texture. The use of finely minced lamb, combined with exotic spices, creates a dish that is not only tender but full of flavor. The kebab is perfectly cooked to maintain its moisture, resulting in a kebab that literally melts in your mouth. A perfect option for anyone craving traditional Indian kebabs with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Ambur Biryani – For the foodie who chases fire & flavour!
This National Foodies Day, we’re serving a southern icon straight from the spice trails of Andhra Pradesh. Ambur Biryani isn’t delicate — it’s deep. A chilli-laced masala, yoghurt-marinated chicken, and short-grain rice, all slow-cooked without saffron, but full of soul.
At BKC, our Regional Special brings this bold classic to life — peppery, smoky, unapologetically fiery — just the way food lovers like it. A tribute to the ones who crave heat, history, and that perfect biryani bite.
Available Friday–Sunday at:
• BKC Soho : 8 & 9 Moor Street, London - W1D 5ND
• BKC Marble Arch - 7 Edgware Road, Tyburnia, London W2 2ER
Part of our Biryani Bharat Yatra – May edition

Guess who’s getting spoiled silly at BKC Soho?
Mark your calendars because Jamai Shashti is crashing London for the very first time — and we’re throwing a feast like no other! It’s that one glorious Bengali tradition where the son-in-law gets treated like a king (and yes, everyone’s invited to join the fun). From smoky aam pora shorbot to crispy cutlets and devilled eggs, this is indulgence the BKC way. Expect big flavours, bigger portions, and a side of joyful chaos.
Think buttery kaju kismis pulao, melt-in-your-mouth dak bungalow mutton, mustardy fish paturi, and golden beguni straight from the heart of home kitchens. There’s mishti, there’s adda, and there’s absolutely no such thing as too much food. Come hungry, bring your crew, and prepare to be spoiled silly — no in-laws required.

A Musical Evening at BKC Soho – Thank You, Prithibi!
Yesterday was nothing short of magical at BKC Soho, as we had the honour of hosting the incredible Bengali alternative rock band Prithibi. Their presence lit up our space — with laughter, warmth, and conversations as soulful as their music.
It felt less like a visit, and more like a celebration of shared culture, flavour, and rhythm. Thank you, Prithibi, for bringing your artistry, heart, and energy to our table — it was an evening to remember!
আবার দেখা হবে, খাওয়া-দাওয়া আর গান নিয়ে!
