A kebab dish, invented by a one-armed chef for a toothless king in 17th-century India, has been delighting food connoisseurs in Dubai since the opening of a restaurant by descendants of the masterful cook. Tunday, a nickname for the one-armed chef Haji Murad, witnessed its first international branch opening in Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) in June this year. Mohammad Rizwan, one of the culinary maestro’s heirs, explained, “Dubai is a global culinary hub. What better place could there be to carry on the legacy of our forefather.” But, the eatery wasn’t established on a whim. “For months, we conducted extensive…

You need to consider the 12-hour time difference as well, which was not to our advantage. So yeah, it…
