  1. A

    Tunday Kabab

    Tucked away down a small street in the bustling Aminabad district, this renowned local kebab shop serves up delicious plates of mutton biryani, kebabs and tandoori chicken. The mutton kebab here is fantastic. Consider coming along early to give yourself time for a wander around the bazaar here, a prime location for picking up chikan (delicately embroidered muslin cloth). Rickshaw drivers know how to find this place. There’s a more centrally located branch in Sapru Marg with the same menu at slightly higher prices, but it’s nowhere near as popular.

    Muman’s Royal Cafe

    Even if you don’t step inside this popular family restaurant, don’t miss its excellent chaat (spicy snack) stand at the front where mixed chaat s are served in an aloo (potato) basket. Inside you can dine on chicken Mughlai, tandoor kebabs and pizza.

    Brindavan

    Don’t be put off by the filthy shared stairwell: this 1st-floor place is smart and clean and has a huge window along the far wall allowing you to eat overlooking the street scenes below. The excellent-value south Indian menu includes more than 20 varieties of dosa.

    Shanghai Surprise

    This smart subterranean restaurant specialises in Thai, Chinese and an attempt at Japanese cuisine -everything from tom yum and nasi goreng to lemon chicken. Prawn and duck also feature on the menu and while the flavours aren't straight from the Orient, the food is tasty.

    Moti Mahal Restaurant

    Downstairs is a sweet and snack shop, upstairs is a low-lit AC restaurant serving up tasty, well-presented food. Try the Lucknow dum aloo (potatoes stuffed with nuts and paneer in a tomato-based sauce) followed by kulfi faluda.

    Falaknuma

    Lucknow’s best hotel also lays claim to having its best restaurant. The stylish rooftop dining room has bird’s-eye views and serves up sumptuous nawab cuisine, such as kakori (minced mutton) and galawat (minced goat) kebabs.
