Early Years

Growing Up with a Legacy

Persian Darbar has been serving authentic Mughlai cuisine for decades, earning the trust of families across Mumbai. Growing up around the business gave Faizaan Kotwala a first-hand understanding of what it takes to build lasting relationships with guests.

This understanding continues to influence every decision made under his leadership.

Leading Without Forgetting the Roots

The restaurant industry changes constantly. Customer preferences evolve, technology advances, and expectations become higher every year. While embracing these changes, Faizaan Kotwala has remained committed to preserving the authentic flavours and hospitality that define Persian Darbar.

Guest-First Philosophy

A Vision Built Around Guests

For Mr. Faizaan Kotwala Managing Director of Persian Darbar, every improvement begins with one question: "Will this create a better experience for our guests?"

That philosophy can be seen throughout the restaurant. Comfortable interiors, attentive service, carefully selected ingredients, hygienic kitchens, and consistently prepared dishes all contribute to an experience that encourages customers to return.

Rather than following short-term food trends, the focus remains on building long-term customer relationships through quality and reliability.

Culinary Heritage

Keeping Mughlai Cuisine Authentic

Authentic Mughlai cuisine requires patience, expertise, and attention to detail. Rich gravies, perfectly balanced spices, slow-cooked meats, handcrafted kebabs, aromatic biryanis, and traditional desserts all demand precision.

Persian Darbar continues to celebrate these traditions with signature dishes including Chicken Burra Tandoori, Chicken Banjara Tikka, Mutton Lucknowi Seekh Kebab, Chicken Kabsa Rice, Fish Tikka, Paneer Butter Masala, Veg Lajawab, and the much-loved Kunafa.

Every dish reflects the restaurant's commitment to authenticity while meeting the expectations of today's diners.
