Dig into Tundey Kebabs

The city of nawabs has its own regal style of cuisine, including many different types of parathas, biryanis and, of course, kebabs. You only have to walk around the city and interact with the locals to understand their immense love for food. The many chowks and gallis of the city are a veritable foodie’s paradise where you can explore and taste the different flavours and dishes that the city has to offer.

Different types of kebabs—kakori, galawati, shami, chapli, halabi, torsh, samak, seekh, senjeh, seena, etc, form a mouth watering array in the city where street food is an integral part of the culinary experience. Today, Lucknow takes pride in its choice of over a thousand kebab outlets that serve up about 1000kg of mined meat every day! The biryani is also equally enticing and is very different from its hyderabadi counterpart in the fact that it’s made through the dum process.

The market area of Lucknow has some incredible chaat places. Shukla chaat house at the old chowk are especially famous. Don’t forget to try the malai ki Gilori at ram asrey , the oldest sweet shop in the city, established in 1805—the sweet is creamy and juicy, a delicious end to a delicious meal.

Don’t miss: the delicious tundey kebabs from any street stall.
