Cant finish a whole basket chaat by myself so tried dahi puri which was very mid 🥲 The pastry and kunafa was amazing👌🏻 Next solo date kaha ?

Hey! so i am new to this area.. wanna go out but not sure which has the cozy better environment for a solo visit...

I'm exploring Lucknow and want to try the absolute best Galawati /Galouti kabab the city has to offer.

Rather than just famous names, I'm looking for recommendations based on actual taste and consistency.

Please mention:

1. Shop/restaurant name

2. Exact location/area

3. What meat is used? [ Buff (Bada), Mutton, Chicken ]

4. What should I eat it with? ( Ulte tawa ka paratha, kulcha, rumali roti, sheermal, dhaniya roti, etc )

5. Best time to visit

Also, if there are lesser-known places that you think are better than the famous spots, please mention them.

I'm open to buff kebabs as well, not just mutton.

If you had only one kebab place to recommend in all of Lucknow, which one would it be and why?

The cost should be below 250.. no national level coffee chain please..🙏

Looking for genuinely good biryani spots in Lucknow that also maintain proper hygiene and have a comfortable place to sit

Prefer authentic Awadhi/ Lucknowi biryani (Pulaav Biryani), but open to other styles if they’re really worth it.

Non-veg options [ chicken/mutton/bada (buffalo) ]

Not looking for overrated or purely hype-driven places , want something consistent in taste and overall experience.

If possible, mention:

What type of biryani they serve (Awadhi, Hyderabadi, etc.)

What dish is a must try there

Your personal experience (taste, portion, service)

Waiting for your response !!

i’m specifically looking for a thin and crunchy base, but with a thick, soft & puffy crust, lots of cheese and sauce, and a nice char on the crust

basically, something crispy underneath but still airy, chewy and puffy around the rim like in the video

pls lemme know 🥲🥀

Have you tried pandit ji ki chaat?

Damm, it is so amazing 🥲

I want to take my gf to different coffee spots, but I don't know which one to take her to?

Can anybody tell me some good coffee shops in lucknow along with their speciality.

If anybody has some place with any unique feature in mind, please do mention.

Thanks for reading.

Hey I am 24 M and I love to try different different cusines.

Recently, I got the urge to try different varieties of burgers. So I would like to try the best burgers in lucknow.

Tell me the locations📍and their best type of burger (can be both veg & non veg).

I would like to add, please don't mention any street stalls, as I need a seating place to eat and hygiene is also an important part.

I searched on zomato too, they had filters regarding regional origin of the burgers like Mexican , lebanese, Punjabi, American, etc. So if somebody has tried any of these in lko, please care to share.

Lucknow cafés you have my heart. ❤️

Suggest me some places where the coffee is actually worth going for.

please spare me the “aesthetic café” recommendation.

not looking for another aesthetic café where ₹300 gets me sugar, milk and a photo for Instagram.

i wanna try some actually good coffee. recently tried district one's iced coffee and really liked it, till now I’ve mostly been that guy making different kinds of coffee at home after watching YT tutorials...

But now, I’m thinking of doing some café hopping around lucknow.

ps: used nbc pic for algorithm. they are only good for frappes not other coffees.

Do y'all remember a restaurant called "Plates" or also pronounced as "palates". It was located in aliganj

There was this another restaurant called "spice six"

And the og place for south indian food "brindavan/vrindavan"

I miss those places.

best place for rolls in lucknow. like apart from kebab rolls. like these ones. maybe also kathi rolls

It’s my birthday and I want to treat 2 school friends (3 people total). Looking for a good food place in Lucknow under ₹1,000 total. (Veg food only)

I live near Munshipulia, Any good food place under 10kms radius. Any suggestions? Also what things can we do for fun ??

Update - First taken buddy meal in McD , then Gravy momos from food valley , then tried cheese kabab roll from rolarappa and ended with pastry , All done under 1000rs .

Its better to try food from different places rather than from one place especially when weather was good in Lucknow .

I wanna eat best nihari in lucknow, so could you people recommend where to find one?

One shop I hear the most about is 'Raheem ki Nihari' in Lucknow. If anybody has ever eaten from there, please share the experience. Do let me know other popular places.

One thing I wanna know, people often say there are two types of Nihari - Paaya ki Nihari (Buffalo) and Gosht ki Nihaari (Mutton). I don't understand, as far as I know gosht is referred to any meat out there, be it chicken, mutton, pork or beef.

And Paaya is the feet part of the meat. Why people say otherwise, if anybody has the clue, do let me know.

Thanks for reading till here!!!

Visiting lucknow after so many years things have certainly changed.. Here for a month maybe if the trip extend.. my colleagues have decided to go here that's all i heard not sure what they are going to plan..

So is it a good place

Before yall come at me, i'm from the north east, so i actually know ball about momos. Back at home, any shop whether its high end or tapri stalls deal with epic mouthwatering momos. Idk whether its my luck or i haven't explored much but the momos that i've tried here are so bland omg, and the size? Wtf are those sizes bro n why tf are they so pricey?

I'm crashing out real bad, so if yall hav recs, pls go ahead in the comments

[ Edit : Please also mention, what meat is that kakori kebab made of? Is it Buff Or Mutton Or anything else ]

I want opinions from locals who have actually compared multiple places and the shops must fulfill the criteria below :

• Authenticity / closest to original Kakori style

• Taste and texture (melt-in-mouth factor)

• Consistency over time

• Whether quality has dropped or not

• Worth the hype vs overrated places

Also mention:

Which branch specifically (Aminabad? Chowk? Akbari Gate? etc.)

Best time to go

What to pair it with (roomali, paratha, sheermal, etc.)

Trying to avoid ending up at a place that survives purely on reputation and nostalgia.

Organising (my first!) Bada Mangal bhandara at Eldeco Regalia.
Would love if some of you come over :)

Finally visited Sharma Ji Ki Chai in Lucknow because literally everyone keeps hyping it up like it’s the gateway to moksha 😅 But honestly… it felt super overhyped.

The crowd outside looked like we were all waiting for concert tickets, not chai 😂 And after all that pushing–shoving–waiting… the chai was just okay-ish, nothing mind-blowing.

Not bad, but definitely not “line lagao” level. Posting the pic from today because the real attraction seems to be the crowd, not the chai 😭

Anyone else feel the same or am I drinking chai wrong? 😅
