Planning a Trip to Lucknow: Food, History, and Shopping!

Hi everyone! This city has been on my travel bucket list for a long time. I’m looking to make this trip as memorable as possible by exploring the best of its food, history, and shopping. Here’s what I’ve planned so far: I’d love to hear your: * Favorite food spots (especially for biryani, kebabs, and desserts). * Shopping tips for Chikankari, jewelry, or other local crafts. * Personal experiences or any pro tips for exploring the city! ***Food Spots on My List*** 🍴 One of my main goals is to indulge in Lucknow’s iconic food scene, and here are some places I’ve shortlisted: * Bajpayee Kachodi Bhandar * Royal Cafe * Dastarkhwan * Naushijaan * Ram Asrey * Parampara * Chowk Area – I’ve heard this is the place to try Malai Makkhan and Black Gajar ka Halwa. * 1090 Street Food Lane * Chatori Gali Are there any hidden gems or iconic food spots I’ve missed? I’d also love suggestions for where to try biryani, galouti kebabs, kulfi, and other Lucknow specialties! Thank you so much for your help in advance!
