What people say, in short
Tulsi Theatre is the selected Dastarkhwan pin. The discussion and tally combine named-Tulsi accounts, Lucknow recommendations that omit the outlet, and a recommendation naming Tulsi and IGP together. Chicken masala receives Tulsi-specific praise; mughlai paratha and boti kebab also feature in the discussion. Tulsi is suggested for a non-vegetarian meal near Hazratganj without heading into the old city. The wider pool includes complaints about hype, biryani and declining masala chicken, not all verified at Tulsi. The separately identified Mughal's Dastarkhwan business in Kaiserbagh is excluded.
