Dawat E Nawab (Radisson Blu Hotel)

This place is located inside the Radisson Blu Hotel on Taj East Gate Road. It’s a bit different because we are part of the hotel, but the vibe is still very much about the local area. We are near the TDI Mall on Fatehabad Road, so there is always a lot of activity nearby. People coming to the Taj Mahal often stay here or walk past our gates. The hotel is nice, but we try to keep the restaurant feeling like a place where you can actually relax. We have our regulars who live in Agra and come here for special occasions, and then we have the guests from the hotel rooms. It’s a mix of everyone. The staff here has been trained to be helpful, but we aren’t robots. We like to have a real conversation with the people who sit at our tables. Being on Taj East Gate Road means we are right in the tourist hub. We see the electric carts going back and forth to the Taj all day long. It’s a busy corner of the city. We focus on the food and making sure the kitchen is clean. We don't worry about being the trendiest spot in town. We just want to provide a decent meal in a comfortable room. It’s been our way for a long time now. We open for dinner and stay until the last guest is finished.
