The Daryaganj Bangkok Restaurant

Daryaganj – By the Inventors of Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani, a North Indian Cuisine restaurant, was conceptualized with the principle of celebrating the culinary legacy of Kundan Lal Jaggi and the resilience and innovation of the Punjabi refugees who migrated to Delhi after the partition of India in the year 1947, blending old-world flavours and closely guarded recipes with the most talented and creative team to create a best in class dining experience reminiscent of a bygone era, with due credit to his grandson Raghav Jaggi and Raghav’s childhood friend, restaurateur Amit Bagga.

This is a twenty-first-century restaurant where guests from different backgrounds and with distinct interests can come together be it, families, corporate, travellers or ex-pats, looking for an affordable way to dine on exceptional Punjabi food.

Daryaganj has retained the legacy by maintaining aesthetics, reassuring that the food quality is high and showcasing that fine dining can be accessible. The restaurant has been carefully conceptualized with great attention to detail that will result in evoking all the five human senses with a seamless blend of the past and the present.

THE FOUNDERS

RAGHAV JAGGI

Founder & Promoter

Raghav inspired the vision that led to the seed of Daryaganj as a tribute to honour the pioneering spirit of his late grandfather, Shri Kundan Lal Jaggi.
An alumnus of St. Stephens College, Delhi and Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, Raghav grew up in New Delhi, India and lived in the UK, Hong Kong and South Africa in addition to travelling the world extensively and getting exposed to a range of authentic cuisines and local and regional recipes. This combination of rich culinary tradition and contemporary gourmet style, blended with age-old secret recipes carefully preserved in his family and perfected in the most iconic of North India’s restaurant kitchens, is what makes Daryaganj a unique dining experience and a treat for the senses.
Raghav is based in the US and resides in New York City, where he works as a part of the global leadership team at a NASDAQ-listed global operations and analytics company.

AMIT BAGGA

He started out as an outsider, with his family’s roots in the automobiles business, but has emerged as one of the most well-known faces of the food and hospitality sector in India.

He is the Co-founder and C.E.O. of Daryaganj Hospitality, and has overseen the expansion of the restaurant across four locations in the national capital region.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to create a global North Indian cuisine brand that delivers exceptional quality food, warm service, and an unparalleled 5 senses experience, at a value for money price. We aim to showcase the authentic flavors of North Indian Cuisine and make it the most loved across the globe.

AMBIENCE

The mood has been skilfully curated to blend contemporary chic with references to the 1950s and the inventiveness of Kundan Lal Jaggi. The restaurant aims at transporting patrons to a visual space that melts traditional Indian motifs with inventive modernism. The ambience is epic in scale, with a fusion of Indian art deco made to fit a new-age restaurant format.

The design uses brass and wood to create a rich, earthy tonality while laser cut metal latticework on mirrors to add flair and depth. Printed floor tiles contrast with marble flooring to create interesting zones and passages through the space. The high ceiling bar is its own vision in grandeur. It’s a space where for you to toast to the old times and embrace the new.
