The dining context
Fatehpur Sikri sits within the Golden Triangle, and its table reflects that, regional ingredients, technique, and heritage recipes specific to this place rather than a generic pan-Indian menu.

How we curate it
Curation means vetted kitchens, private or semi-private settings, escorted access to the genuine establishments, and dietary requirements (vegetarian, allergies, medical, religious) planned in advance, not navigated on the spot. The same standard runs across the wider Golden Triangle circuit.
