Naushiijaan, a popular name when it comes to Awadhi cuisine in the city, opened its second outlet in Jadavpur recently. Spread across 1,200sq ft, with a seating capacity of around 40, the space has been done up with the look and feel of Awadh. Be it the plaster of Paris designs on the wall, the age-old hookah used as a decor element or the intricate carvings on the ceiling, there is attention to detail in each corner.

A private dining section, ideal for small gatherings, is furnished with low seating, chandeliers and even has a selfie corner laden with Awadhi headgear and caps that guests can sport while clicking themselves.

Each corner has a story to tell, and each dish has some history associated with it,” said directors Vinay and Shalini Arora.
