The Chaat in Lucknow is on a par with the best you will get anywhere in the country. There are quite a few places serving outstanding chaat, like Shukla Chaat in Ganeshganj, Moti Mahal, Radhey Lal in Aliganj Chhappan Bhog in Sadar and Mahesh Sweets in Nirala Nagar, Neel Kanth in Gomtinagar(Vivek Khand) and mohan sweets in bhootnath indira nagar . Actually, you can pretty much have Chaat in any corner of Lucknow and never be disappointed.

Favorite Dish: After a delicious dinner, one can have Paan from the shops Malhotra Pan Bhandar near K.D. Singh Babu Stadium and the State Bank of India.

For the adventure loving people the [b]Fauzi Dhaba [/b] situated on Sitapur Road near Chaata Meel is a favourite hot spot. Driving among crazy truckers and then a homely diet surely gives a delight to the tongue.

Yes, yes I know but I liked to have a break from Indian food and even though Lucknow is famed for its Mughal cuisine, I came here for lunch which proved to be quite expensive compared with other choices around. The place wasn't busy and only had a few young girls eating inside. The pizza's are either veggie or chicken as both ham and beef products are a strict no-no here. Good service but expensive.

I headed to this place just round the corner from my hotel called Moments (as mentioned in LP) where they serve Shami and Sishk kebabs, being as Lucknow is very Muslim orientated. I had 4 small patty like Shami kebabs which weren't that spicy and kinda made from flakey meat not the hard compact meat like we get back home. Still they were a local specialty and they did the trick. Nice little place.
