I came here recently with a large group of friends. It was a nice and relaxing spot that had lots of choices that are ideal for sharing. We ordered a ton of food and enjoyed all of our dishes. We had friendly and attentive service and I will hopefully be back to try their other items!
A restaurant which has lucknow's name in its name can never be bad and this restaurant is far far away from bad. At time of my visit they were mainly a delivery outlet. However, when we reached the resaturant we were served properly at the restaurant only.
On recommendation of their owner, we ordered Mutton boti kebab, mutton shami kebab, Galouti kebab, lucknow ishtyle chicken masala and ulte tawa paratha.
The UTP was thin, hot, crisp and tasty ( i can say this was the best paratha i have ever had ). The galouti was so delectable, it was melting in mouth. I didnt like the shaami kebab much as it was more tasting like dal then Mutton.
Now coming to the best part -- MUTTON BOTI KEBAB -- this dish has become my favrt mutton dish ever. The taste of this dish was so flavorful yet soothing. The mutton pieces in it were so well cooked and tasty. Also, it was very light on stomach. I would suggest all the mutton lovers to try Mutton boti kebab once.
Lucknow Mail! I love you and I hate you just a little bit. 0.5 stars to be precise. I love you because of all the restaurants that I have been ordering, you are the one that have been consistent for the all round experience - taste, punctuality, courtesy and response. Seriously, there have been restaurant in my food ordering experience that have had a temporary flair and there have been ones that have been a disappointment. But you guys have always delivered in the most consistent manner. By and large, you have lived up to the expectation one would have from a restaurant with "Lucknow" in their name. I am a kabab fanatic and your Gilawaties are pretty close to the real thing - I would say. Now, why I carry a hate worth 0.5 of Zomato stars, is because of the Chicken Masaala! Seriously guys, even you know what you sent me is not Chicken Masaala IF you call it Lucnowi 😔. Thanks to my 5 years in Lucknow as a young, broke student who spent his last penny on Chicken Masaala, I know what I am talking about. What you sent me was some pale, viscous, lumpy and excessive version of Masaala (with some Chicken) which is just not true to the spirit of the dish. If you'd ever eat Chicken Masaala in Lucknow, particularly at Dastarkhwaan at the start of Hazratganj area, you'd know better that Chicken Masaala is actually a totally different dish that consists of dark, almost dry curry - hence called a "Masaala". It's caramelization is pushed to the limits of it being burnt which provisions a very unique feature of crystalized, crispy bits of Masaala that create an experience that's stamped in the memory of your senses. That said, I still believe that your restaurant is one of the best bets when it comes to food ordering experience. Keep up the good work guys 👍🏼.
