What To Eat In Lucknow: Local Dishes And Where To Find Them

Lucknow’s food has its own charm, and with a UNESCO tag added to its legacy, the city feels even more special to walk through.

The City & It's Food Trails

From Aminabad to Hazratganj, the city is filled with small shops and old counters, and every corner has something that makes you think, you should really try this.

TUNDAY KABAB

The soft, smoky Tunday Kabab at Tunday Kababi in Aminabad feels like the true flavour of Lucknow.

Basket Chaat

The colourful basket chaat at Royal Cafe in Hazratganj adds a fun, light break in the day.

Malai Gilori

The delicate malai gilori from Radhey Lal Parampara Sweets in Chowk melts before you even realise.

Tawa Biryani

Smoky, quick, and full of flavour. The tawa biryani at Dastarkhwan, Lalbagh, hits just right.

Nihari

The slow-cooked nihari at Rahim’s in Chowk has that comforting taste the city is known for.

Makhan Malai

The airy winter makhan malai near Gol Darwaza feels almost weightless and sweet.
