Best restaurants in Lucknow –Legendary places

Best restaurants in Lucknow – The city of Nawabs, kebabs, monuments, and a rich history. Lucknow has a rich culture, with a prominent dominance from the Nawabi culture. The kebabs, meat curries, and biryanis, are naturally more popular and dominant in Old Lucknow. But that’s not all. There are plenty of vegetarian options as well. From chai, to chaat, choley bhature and kachoris. And there is a growing fine-dine culture as well. You will find the likes of Farzi Cafe and Mamagoto. And some homegrown brands are making their mark and uplifting the food scene on the other side of the town!

1. sakhawat

One of the best restaurants in Lucknow is this slightly underrated, but a favourite of the locals. Follow the Google location to reach this hole-in-the-wall place. This also happens to be the few places serving Shami kebabs. And boy, have they aced it! Coarsely pound mutton, perfectly balanced spices, chopped onion, ginger, and garlic. The Shami takes you by surprise, and how!
Devour it with the Mughlai parantha, which you will find at many places but only here is it crispy hot and garnished with kalaunji.
Also try the bhuna gosht, another specialty – the caramelized onions make the gravy slightly sweet, but it is still plenty spicy, and just a little chunky.

2, Tunday kebabi

Lucknow is probably synonymous with Tunday – the restaurant that made Galauti kebab as popular as they are even outside Lucknow. There are many outlets across the city, but visit the original one in Chowk. The menu is simple, all they are going to offer you is kebab and parantha. And the meat paste if you want to take it home by the kilo.
The hype is real, and the mutton kebabs fare slightly lower in front of the real deal!
