The legendary inventors of Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani have officially arrived in the Tricity region. Daryaganj, one of India's most celebrated North Indian restaurant brands, has made its highly anticipated regional debut at HLP Gallerria in Mohali.
Founded by Raghav Jaggi and acclaimed restaurateur Amit Bagga, Daryaganj is a vibrant tribute to the late Shri Kundan Lal Jaggi. As Raghav’s grandfather and the undisputed inventor of Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani, his culinary genius traces back to 1947. The brand honors the profound journey of refugees who carried their rich culinary traditions to Delhi after Independence, ultimately laying the foundation for modern North Indian cuisine.
"Mohali is a special milestone for us, our first venture in the Tricity area," shared Amit Bagga, Co-founder & CEO of Daryaganj. "We are excited to bring the authentic Daryaganj experience here and share the legacy of Butter Chicken, Dal Makhani, and other classics with a community that truly appreciates North Indian cuisine".
