We're the inventors of Tandoori Chicken, Dal Makhni & Butter Chicken. 100 years and still going strong! OUR HISTORY This is a story of a relentless man named Shri. Kundan Lal Gujral who not only revolutionised Indian cooking with his creative recipes but has also put India on the global food map. Shri. Kundan Lal Gujral was born in an undivided Punjab at the dawn of the twentieth century. His father passed away when he was just a child, leaving him responsible for supporting his family. Gujral was a beloved soul who believed in his passion for cooking. Being the creative man that he was, he dug a tandoor right in the middle of an eatery in Peshawar. Little did he know that he was using the tandoor to make timeless dishes that would go down in history! With the social upheaval and partition in India, Kundan, among many others, was forced to evict and start afresh. However, these new sets of challenges only made him stronger. Trusting his gut, he fled to Delhi, where the local people witnessed the growth and merit of his legendary Tandoori Chicken. His tandoori artistry has been tasted by a number of famous personalities like Indira Gandhi, Former President Zakhir Hussain, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, and other world leaders like the Former American President Nixon, Kennedy, Shah of Iran & Bhutto. Today, Moti Mahal has expanded internationally with over 100 + restaurants successfully running worldwide. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions!
