The Penthouse Cafe, Hazratganj
22 people recommend, 4 warn against itvia r/lucknow·27 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Penthouse at Home Sweet Home is repeatedly recommended for its aesthetic setting, dates and birthdays. One diner loved a meal there and especially recommended the hot chocolate, while another commenter suggests it for photos. Food is the main disagreement: two people describe it as looks over taste, another visitor preferred Roastery, and one simply advises against it. A mixed view praises the ambience but finds the food only okay. It is an ambience-led suggestion with genuine food detractors, not a unanimous all-round recommendation.
