Vegetarianism and Muslim food often don’t go together but Chef Rehman is a pioneer of the unlikely Muslim vegetarian cuisine as he believes in sharing the culinary joys with the vegetarian folks.

When I asked him about his thoughts on Awadhi Cuisine, he feels that “the ultimate vitality of Awadhi Food being distinct, the super-refinement of food and flavors which lacks to be found in any other cuisines of India”.
