Where the Chefs Eat: Aktar Islam's favourite restaurants in the UK

"Oudh 1722 is set to be as sensational as its bigger sibling up in Birmingham, but with a unique focus on the Awadhi cuisine of northern India."

"What will happen in London is a tasting menu experience based around Awadhi cuisine and emulating that in a very communal way. It'll be very much about sharing and using your hands."

"The northern Indian territory is considered one of the country's epicentres of great cuisine and was recently recognised by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy."

"Opheem is a very unique proposition, and it will never be recreated, ever again."

Oudh 1722, opening in late spring in Borough, London, is the latest venture by Aktar Islam, known for his two Michelin-starred restaurant Opheem. This new establishment will focus on Awadhi cuisine from northern India, emphasizing a communal dining experience. The restaurant will occupy a Victorian building across three floors, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of the Lucknow region, recognized by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy. Aktar aims to create a unique dining experience distinct from Opheem, which celebrated the broader Indian culinary landscape.
