What is OUD?
At OUD, Indian heritage meets inspiration from the Arab world. Our menu moves between the two cultures — Indian techniques meeting Arabic spices, Arabian favourites reimagined through Indian cooking, and dishes created where the two traditions naturally meet.
This is our interpretation of Indo-Arabic cuisine.

Six hours. Two culinary worlds. One dish.
Slow-braised lamb shank, cooked until meltingly tender in a rich blend of aromatic spices, caramelised onions, and herbs.
Arabian roots. Indian fire.
Juicy chicken marinated in vibrant Hyderabadi spices, served with fragrant Kabsa rice — the national dish of Saudi Arabia. A beautiful fusion of bold Indian flavours and classic Saudi Arabian tradition.
From Bihar to Birmingham.
A Chef’s special, also knows as “Ahuna”, the dish originated from Champaran region of Bihar, India. It’s been slow-cooked for hours in an earthen pot using a traditional method.
Sweet. Spiced. Layered. Unexpected.
Tender layered paneer, carefully stuffed with prunes infused with chillies and garlic, then gently marinated in saffron and aromatic spices, glowing golden from the tandoor with a delicate balance of smoky warmth and subtle sweetness — a refined take on a classic favourite.
Close to the chef’s heart.
This dish is close to the chef’s heart, evoking childhood celebrations in Bihar. These tender beef kebabs are infused with a rich blend of spices, cooked on the grill to a perfect smoky finish.
OUD on one table.
A generous feast of OUD’s finest grills — Nizami Chicken Tikka, Murgh Malai Tikka, Chicken Legs, Sheesh Kebab and Emirati Lamb Chops, served with freshly baked naan, fragrant basmati rice and a refreshing salad.
Where India and Arabia meet, for dessert.
