A warm, food-centered romantic comedy about two people from different Indian cities finding love through shared culinary passion and overcoming past romantic disappointments.

A deliciously romantic coming together of Gulrez “Gullu” Qadir a Hyderabadi shoe-sales girl disillusioned with love because of her encounters with dowry-seeking men; and Tariq “Taru” Haidar a Lucknawi cook who can charm anybody with the aroma and flavours of his biryani and kebabs.
