Top Non-Veg Places In Jaunpur: When it comes to the food of Jaunpur, many dishes fascinate the heart, but on hearing the name of ‘Kallu Ka Mutton’, the mouth of taste lovers starts watering. This is not just a dish, but has become the identity of Jaunpur. For the last 50 years, this mutton has remained the favorite of people of all ages due to its unique taste and traditional cooking method.
Saurabh Gupta said that the real taste comes from ‘patience and heart’. This is the reason why even today their mutton is cooked not on gas but on a wood stove. The spices include things like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, bay leaves and nutmeg, which add such a fragrance to the mutton that people are drawn towards it from a distance.
Today the third generation is running this business. His sons and grandsons are carrying forward the legacy of this taste. Every day hundreds of people come here to eat mutton – some old customers who have been crazy about this taste for decades, and some new ones who come after hearing about it on social media. The special thing is that Kallu’s mutton is served only in the desi style, without any fancy decoration or modern tadka – with onion, lemon and tandoori roti.
Grandfather used to say that only mutton is good which is cooked with spices and hard work, not by shortcuts. Overall, Kallu’s mutton is not just a dish but has become an integral part of the cultural thali of Jaunpur. This proves that when tradition and hard work combine in taste, the dish becomes not just food but a heritage.
