One thing we suggest you do in your life-time is to plan a trip to Lucknow to just relish the tempting, flavourful, aromatic delectables that the city of Nawabs has to offer! We bet, you won’t get over the food you eat there. Many people have shared that they got a sort of high while eating in Lucknow. We guessed, that is due to the many flavours in the food. So without any beating around the bush, let us take you through the many dishes you ‘must’ eat in Lucknow.
1. Biryani
Biryani is one thing you can’t give a miss in Lucknow. Idris Biryani is famous for the flavourful biryani they prepare. Idris is located at the Chowk. You can also try at Wahid at Chowk too.
2. Mughlai at Dastarkhwan
Nothing can beat Dastarkhwan at preparing the awesomely delicious Mughlai food that they do! There are many Dastakhwans in Lucknow but the one you must always go to is the one located in Hazratganj.
PS: Do let us know if you could finish the paratha they serve. :)
3. Tundey Kebab
The ever famous Tundey Kebab at Tundey Kebabi is one thing you would want to get packed before leave Lucknow. Good news is Tundey Kebabi has two branches, one neear Akbari Gate, Chowk and the other at Naaz Cinema Road, Nazirabad near Aminabad.
