Nawabi refers to the historical rule and culture of the Nawabs, who were Muslim aristocrats in India, particularly during the Mughal Empire. They governed various regions, such as Awadh and Bengal, and were known for their patronage of arts, architecture, and cuisine. The Nawabs played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape of India, blending Persian, Indian, and local traditions. The Nawabi lifestyle was characterized by opulence and sophistication, evident in their grand palaces and elaborate festivals. Their influence is still seen today in Nawabi cuisine, which features rich dishes like biryani and kebabs, and in the architectural marvels that remain as a testament to their legacy.
