When you look at our menu for the first time, you will immediately notice the bold variety: authentic Mughlai handis sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with artisanal Italian pastas, fiery Mexican starters, and street-style Asian wok specials. But with dozens of tantalizing choices, where should a first-timer begin?

To help you navigate your first expedition into the culinary jungle, our culinary team has distilled our menu down to the five absolute showstoppers. These dishes have garnered hundreds of five-star reviews and earned a loyal cult following among North Delhi gastronomes.

1. The Royal Moradabadi Yakhni Biryani

Unlike the heavy, saffron-dominated Hyderabadi biryanis common across Delhi, Moradabadi biryani is all about subtlety, clarity of broth, and pure aromatic intensity. We simmer chicken on the bone with whole coriander seeds, fennel, green cardamom, and ginger in a slow-simmered aromatic yakhni (bone broth).

Aged long-grain basmati rice is cooked directly in this fragrant stock until every grain is infused with essence. Finished with whole fried green chilies and a side of our tangy house raita and spicy tomato relish, it is delicate, deeply comforting, and virtually greaseless.

The secret to our Yakhni Biryani is patience. You cannot rush the broth. When you lift the lid, the fragrance fills the entire lounge floor.

2. Stuffed Murg Tangdi: Tandoori Royalty

If you love tandoori chicken, prepare to have your expectations elevated. Our Stuffed Murg Tangdi features plump, prime chicken drumsticks carefully deboned and stuffed with a rich filling of spiced minced chicken, roasted cashews, paneer crumbs, and fresh herbs.

Coated in a velvet yellow mustard marinade and roasted on iron skewers over live coals, the exterior is smoky and crisp, while the center reveals a decadent, savory surprise with every bite. It is pure celebration on a platter.

3. Loaded Cheesy Chicken Nachos

The ultimate sharing plate: Golden corn nachos layered with homemade queso and vibrant pico de gallo.

Every great lounge needs an irresistible table snack, and our Loaded Chicken Nachos reign supreme. We fry fresh corn tortilla chips in-house so they remain audibly crunchy under weight. We then layer them generously with spiced shredded chicken, warm molten cheddar cheese sauce, refried black beans, pickled jalapeños, and chunky garden pico de gallo.

A cool dollop of sour cream on top ties all the contrasting temperatures together. Whether you are splitting it with colleagues or sharing over drinks, the platter disappears in minutes.

4. Stone-Baked Artisanal Pizza

Italian finesse in the jungle: Hand-stretched dough with blistered crusts and rich san marzano style sauce.

We take our oven craft seriously. Our pizza dough undergoes a 48-hour cold fermentation process, creating a crust that is airy, light on the stomach, and delightfully blistered. Topped with our slow-simmered herb tomato sauce and 100% mozzarella, each slice strikes the golden ratio of chewy crust to gooey melt.

5. The Signature Bagheera Sangriya

Our crown beverage: Steeped fruits, citrus zest, and cold aromatic spices.

No visit to Bagheera is complete without our iconic namesake drink. Crafted by our master mixologists, the Bagheera Sangriya is an exquisite infusion of ruby grapes, diced green apples, fresh orange wheels, and a hint of cinnamon and cloves. Available both as an exotic mocktail or spirit-forward cocktail, it provides a cooling, effervescent finish to any heavy meal.
