An unbelievably & undeservingly "Over-Priced Restaurant"....Had Dinner on 24/03/22 & it was a very ordinary experience....price of Daal is 950 rs & quantity is very very less.....just a tiny mini-bowl they served.....Paneer dish is 1150 rs (why ??) & a basic Roti/Naan is priced at 300 rs plus the additional taxes.....Menu is very short, no spoon/fork is served with food (why??), no hand cleaning bowl after eating, no Napkin & a very uncomfortable seating arrangement...the Glass they serve water in is rusted & has marks at bottom, the mobile network is unavailable....it is high time ITC group takes a serious look at the condition of this place & what value for money are they offering to customers. This restaurant is surviving just on ITC brand value, else they have nothing to offer.

Peshawri of ITC Mughal is the place for dine in while in Agra. The best and tasty food is served in authentic style of ITC hotels. Service is superb and very helpful staff. All food items and their signature cocktails are very nice. Don't miss their Kadak paneer.

Good food and service. Barra Kebab is highly recommended. Avoid chicken malai tikka since very bland no flavour - please avoid. Dal bhukhara is great as always. Veg seekh is also very nice and a must try. There is no ramp access to the restaurant, so you need to plan your visit accordingly.

Expensive for Agra, but the lamb was some of the best I’ve had. Marinaded perfectly and so tender and delicious. The Dahl was also very rich and went perfectly with crispy bread. There may be restaurants with more value for the money, but if you’re looking for a great meal with good service and a nice ambiance in the hotel, Peshawri is a great choice.

Whoever has dined in at the renowned Bukhara at ITC Maurya in Delhi would not need any introduction to Peshawri. Peshawari has exactly the same concept as Bukhara- from the cuisine to interiors. Peshawri showcases the food resembling the traditional style of the Indian North-West Frontier region where clay ovens or tandoors were used. Everything in Peshawri is made in house and the thaumaturgy associated with it is simple: high-quality and locally-sourced ingredients to encompass only the finest. A unique thing about Peshawri is that they don’t give you cutlery and encourage you to eat with hand but to ensure your dress doesn’t get dirty they give you an apron. To keep COVID-19 away, all precautions were taken care of under their #WeAssure programme. From sanitisation of the couch and table to sanitisation of crockery and cutlery which is then wrapped in the WeAssure assurance. Servers were seen wearing mask and shield and dishes were being served on wooden planks to avoid any contact. Digital menu replaced laminated tree menus and wooden tongs were used instead of other tongs. We tried the iconic Naan Bukhara- a 4 ft huge which is actually bigger than a baby blanket and was so soft, velvety and yummy. Yes, Naan Bukhara is so large that it is often called a baby blanket. It was a delight being served by the senior most Chef Surat Singh who is the star chef in the buzzing kitchen of ITC Mughal and Chef Kavitha Unni. People across the world know the aura of Dal Bukhara and a true Delhiite like me is no alien to it. We witnessed Dal Bukhara in the making while it was being cooked on charcoal for 24 hours for the authentic taste, consistency and flavour. Other dishes we had included Paneer Tikka, Tandoori Aloo, Bharwan Aloo, Reshmi Kebabs, Mutton Burra and Murgh Makhani. In desserts, we tried sweet dishes like Phirni which was served in a mitti bartan, Gulab Jamun and Rasmalai. It was a heavenly treat altogether. The incredible experience, talking to the chef and seeing the dishes being made live which added more to the satiety value. The feel of the place was earthy and old. It was fully packed with people of all ages – young as well as old. It was a great experience altogether to dine in Peshawri, the most exquisite restaurant at ITC Mughal. We truly relished the robust flavors of the North-West frontier made in clay ovens or tandoors with simple, high-quality and locally-sourced ingredients. The restaurant’s real skill lies in its deceptively lean composition. Instead of the heavy oil and butter base you’d expect from kebabs, Peshawri’s cooking is all light-touch, the selection of kebabs is not accompanied by any sauce or gravy, but only pre-marinated and cooked before serving.

Delicious food and really nice staff who advised us on what to order. The 24 hour slow cooked daal is mind blowing !

One of the best foods I have eaten in India. Must must must!! Try paneer tikka, tandoori chicken, daal and naan with butter. Best ever!! Thank you to Uday for the amazing service!!!
