THE FOOD! (Trust me It's a Fact!)

We have mouthwatering dishes and the sweetest of desserts and sweets which are simply irresistible, You surely won't forget the taste of these dishes If you have them in Lucknow.

Let's start the day with some Breakfast to gorge on!

Chai with Bun-Makkhan (Tea& Cream Bun)

The tea is definitely above ordinary. Its made as a Separate tea. The water/tea leaves/sugar concoction is boiled separately and the milk is done separately. When you place the order, after having made clear your choice of crockery (i.e. a kaanch ka glass or a disposable glass or a kulhar), the two are assembled and served to you. The tea is strong and good.

As accompaniments, you have options of having Bun Butter and Samosas. Both are really above the competition. The Buns are really soft and the generous amount of white butter that goes into them, make the dish unbeatable.

Khasta and Jalebi

These are perfect for a heavy and a yummy breakfast, Khasta Kachori is a crispy Indian snack that is stuffed with spiced fillings. You can have it with tea in the morning or in the evening, giving your tea experience a different texture and taste. Whereas Jalebi is an Indian sweet made of a coil of batter fried and steeped in syrup.

Makkhan Malai

Available only in early mornings till 9 am in the Chowk area, the light, yummy Makhan Malai makes winter mornings delicious and much-awaited. I am sure you just can’t eat one, repeat sessions are a ritual.

Looks like you had a tasty Breakfast after having all of those, I guess now then its time forLunch! Presenting you the Main Course Lucknow dishes!

Lucknowi Biriyani

This sumptuous dish is straight from the streets of Lucknow. The rice is cooked separately in garden-fresh spices and the marinated chicken is added later. This technique infuses just the right amount of flavour in the dish and the final product is something that you just cannot resist.

Kebab&Parathas

Kebabs is what Lucknow gave to the world! You can have them in a plate or as a roll for the go, either way they are extremely delicious!

Tunday Kebab

Over a 100 masalas go into the making of this royal kebab and they ensure that you don't feel uneasy after having them. They literally melt in your mouth like ice cream and are best served with rumali roti. To enjoy the authentic flavour, make sure you eat the original Tundey as there are many a copies in Lucknow.

Well we have Veg Kebabs too which are equally tasty and you will find them only in Lucknow! Check Devas for having one!

Sheermals

A sweet naan, this one is baked in tandoor and goes well with anything spicy! Sheermals are made with warm milk which is sweetened with sugar and generally flavored with saffron.

Well after having all these spicy things, I surely feel its time for some Sweets and Desserts!

Lassi and Thandai

topped with saffron, kaju, almond (badam), pistachio (pista), cardamom (elaichi) and some secret masala powers.

Ghevar

It is disc-shaped sweet made with all purpose flour and soaked in sugar syrup. There are many varieties of Ghevar, including plain, mawa and malai ghevar.

Falooda Kulfi

Lucknawi paan

No meal is complete if you don't end it up with paan. And don't you dare think of the Lucknowi paan as just another paan! Paan lovers would be in a for a treat because this paan is more than just patta, supari and gulkand put together. It is an experience in itself and if you haven't tasted it, you are missing out on life!

Oh wait! How can you not have Tokri Chaat when you are in Lucknow!

Chaat is undoubtedly Indian's favourite go-to snack to add a little spice to our monotony. The filling leaves both your stomach and taste buds satiated. The crisper the tokri, the better! Also called Basket Chaat, Lucknow offers a variety of these in the streets.
