Herdwick lamb kebab

A gilawat kebab, finely minced Herdwick lamb, the Lucknow way. The opener.

From Oudh 1722's own menu and pages, as we read them in October 2026.

Oudh 1722

Awadhi Indian · Borough

66 Union Street, London SE1 1TD

Aktar Islam's Borough restaurant cooks the food of Awadh, the old court of Lucknow, with British produce. Dum pukht, slow cooking under a dough seal, is at its heart.

We'd add

Mutanjan dum biryani, oxtail, aged basmati, sweet carrot

Oxtail and aged basmati sealed and cooked dum, with carrot. The main for the table.
