At Ekaa, food has always been our way of bringing Agra closer to travellers. What began with recipes discussed with grandmothers, aunts and neighbours has grown into Pattal at Ekaa Villa & Kitchen — a celebration of the vegetarian flavours, stories and traditions of Agra and the Braj region.
Our kitchen does not look at food as something frozen in time. It looks at it as something living — where forgotten recipes meet thoughtful techniques, where local produce meets modern interpretations, and where every dish carries a connection to the place it comes from. We work closely with fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from around the region, because the best flavours often begin closest to home.

Pattal Ki Daawat — A Traditional Feast
Pattal Ki Daawat is a return to the way meals were once shared — on leaf plates, with clay bowls, and around a table where food was as much about togetherness as it was about taste. Inspired by traditional feasts of the region, this vegetarian dining experience brings together local flavours and age-old practices in a thoughtfully curated experience.
Chef's Tasting Menu — A Culinary Journey Through Braj
Our Chef's Tasting Menu is not another meal, but a journey — a theatre of flavours of the Braj cuisine, exploring the culinary traditions of the region through a contemporary lens. Each course reimagines familiar ingredients and forgotten preparations, creating an experience that honours where it comes from while allowing it to evolve.
