There is no doubt Tunday Kababi offers India’s best Kabab for foodies. Tunday Kababi is the landmark of the best eating joints in Lucknow which is famous for its delicious peppery Kabab-Parathas. And the best thing about Tunday Kababi is that it offers excellent quality of foods in low to average budget. However, there are two branches of Tunday Kababi in Lucknow, one is located in Nazirabad near Aminabad, and second is located near Akbari Gate, Chowk. But don’t be confused here; Chowk is the old and mainly famous joint of Tunday Kababi. But it only offers Kabab-Paratha, no other dishes. But taste this recipe at-least once, I bet you will not tasted this kind of delicious Kabab Parathas across India.  

Delicious non veg foods are the specialty of Lucknow, so if you want to taste additional famous non-veg dishes of Lucknow city, visit Tunday Kababi Nazirabad. It offers all types of non-veg foods.

Dastarkhwan

However, there are numbers of Dastarkhwan named restaurant in Lucknow; some at street side and sometime at good locations, but one (Dastarkhwan Hazratganj) I will definitely recommended to all. This is my all time favorite place to eat in Lucknow with my friends and family. I had tried almost all Dastarkhwan outlets in Lucknow, but what I really liked about this branch it offers best of best Mughlai non-veg foods of Lucknow with very very large menu of chicken and mutton items. I haven’t seen such a huge menu in any famous non-veg restaurants even in Delhi.

But it is not heaven for Mughlai food lovers only; they also have a huge range of veg items too. So it doesn’t matter you are addicted to what type of north Indian food, Dastarkhwan serves you all
