Best kebabs in Lucknow

42 people recommend, 10 warn against itvia r/lucknow

Tunday's galawati kebabs draw strong city-wide support, pooled here on the Aminabad outlet rather than treated as reviews of that branch alone. Several diners prefer Chowk or Akbari Gate, while others recommend Aminabad. Lulu Mall splits opinion: some praise its kebabs, while others find them disappointing. One Aminabad visitor describes bland taste; another commenter reports missing accompaniments in delivery orders. The branch matters as much as the name.

Dabbu Veg is repeatedly recommended for vegetarian kebab parathas across Lucknow, with the IT Chauraha outlet representing pooled city-brand opinions. Commenters also name Saadatganj, Rajajipuram and Chowk. One diner prefers the Saadatganj kebabs to Deva's; another rates that outlet above Chowk. Those comparisons concern the named outlets, not the IT Chauraha shop. Delivery comments differ by outlet, so they do not establish a general ordering option.

Deva Food Mart in Kapoorthala is a recurring recommendation for vegetarian kebabs and kebab paratha rolls. Enthusiastic diners sit alongside several people who think it has declined. One reports an oversalted roll, another finds the food too dry, and another describes a sweet, heavy taste. Value also divides opinion: some consider it worth the extra expense, while others criticize the cost. It is a popular choice, not an uncontested one.

Dastarkhwan's kebab recommendations span Lucknow outlets, represented here by the named Tulsi Theatre location. One commenter specifically recommends galawati kebabs there; another points to shami kebabs at the modest-looking Hazratganj shop. A diner describes the brand's kebabs as milder than Tunday's, without naming an outlet. Airport purchases are separate experiences, not evidence of takeaway arrangements at Tulsi Theatre. One comparative diner still prefers Tunday's galawati kebabs.

Vansh Rajput Veg Corner in Kapoorthala draws repeated recommendations for vegetarian kebab parathas. One commenter describes a small stall opposite Sai Temple, while another recommends the rolls to people who enjoy spice. Those are individual observations, not guarantees. There is dissent too: one diner finds it merely acceptable for the price, and another calls Rajput's average while preferring Dabbu at IT Chauraha.

Sakhawat, near the Gymkhana in Kaiserbagh, receives recommendations for shami kebabs and suggestions for kakori. Commenters suggest it in a kakori discussion, though one cautions that few restaurants do that style well. One diner praises the shami kebabs but is less convinced by the galawati; another recommends mutton boti at Qaiserbagh. A dissenting visitor considers the place overrated and expensive. The evidence favors particular kebab styles rather than universal praise.

Rahul Kabab Paratha is repeatedly recommended for vegetarian kebab parathas, with commenters naming HAL, Munshipulia and Indira Nagar. The Indira Nagar pin represents those pooled city-brand mentions; it does not make every unlocated experience specific to that shop. There are clear reservations: two commenters think the quality has declined, and another gives a negative assessment. The recommendations are numerous enough to include, but the disagreement should not be overlooked.

Naushijaan draws recommendations for kakori kebabs, with one diner praising their tenderness and another suggesting it in a kakori discussion. Two commenters mention majlisi kebabs; one describes a gravy-like preparation rather than a formed kebab. The Hazratganj pin represents these city-level mentions. Enthusiasm is not unanimous: one commenter calls the place overrated, another finds it expensive, and a comparative diner still prefers Tunday's galawati kebabs.

Mughal Kakori Kebab is recommended around Chowk and Akbari Gate, with one commenter locating it in Chawal Wali Gali beside Mubeen. Dora kebabs are the clearest specific attraction: two diners praise them, including one who calls them among their favorites. Other commenters name it when asked about kakori. The available recommendations are positive, but most offer little detail about service or the dining experience.

Mughal Zaika's city-level kebab recommendations are represented by its Aminabad outlet. One commenter likes that branch's taste and kebab size; two suggest the brand in a kakori discussion. A boti-kebab recommendation names Aminabad, with another commenter saying the Aliganj outlet is similar. These are separate outlet observations, not proof that every dish is identical across branches. One commenter is lukewarm about the galawati kebabs, so the praise is not uniform.
