The Legacy of a Culinary Pioneer: Kundan Lal Gujral
Founded in 1920 by the visionary Late Shri Kundan Lal Gujral, Moti Mahal revolutionized Indian dining by introducing the world to Tandoori cuisine. His iconic creations — Butter Chicken, Dal Makhani, Burra Kebab, and Chicken Pakora — turned traditional North Indian cooking into a global sensation.
For his immense contribution to Indian gastronomy, Shri Gujral received multiple awards and recognition from the Government of India, solidifying Moti Mahal’s place as a culinary institution of national pride.
Carrying the Flame Forward: Monish Gujral
Today, the Moti Mahal legacy continues under Monish Gujral, the grandson of the founder — an award-winning chef, restaurateur, author, and television personality.
Monish Gujral has been honored with the Gourmand World Cookbook Award and has authored bestselling cookbooks like Tandoori Trail, Kebab Trail, Dessert Trail, Pickle Trail, and On the Butter Chicken Trail. His upcoming cookbook with Penguin India explores international cuisines while celebrating India’s culinary roots.
He has represented India at global food events across France, China, Germany, and the UK, and made history as the first North Indian chef invited by Le Cordon Bleu, Paris, to conduct live culinary demonstrations.

Monish is credited with the trailblazing turn-around of Moti Mahal, from being a small but iconic presence in Delhi, to becoming a multi-national corporation that is well on its way to defining how the world eats Indian food. Mark Manuel (Editor Bombay Times) noted journalist Mark Manuel Editor Bombay times (2009) Wrote “Monish Gujral is one of modern India’s success stories. In my book he is to Delhi and to the rest of India what Rahul Akerkar and Moshe Sheikh are to Bombay : a restaurateur –chef who can cook everything on the menu of his popular chain of Motimahal restaurants , a businessman, a food writer and a gourmet . I know him as a restaurateur and a friend : and , I cannot as yet decide whether I like his food better or his friendship .Probably his friendship, because Motimahal food- its butter chicken, Mata ki daal , roti and kulfi , I can get in 72 cities around India : but not Monish`s genuinely hearty and delightful company .For that , I have to wait till he visits Mumbai”
