Lucknow is incomplete without this amazing cafe in Hazratganj. Hazratganj itself always gives a vibe of CP in New Delhi.
Royal It an amazing point to enjoy Evening and food too in Hazratganj. Enjoying food and Nawabi sham in Shahar e Lucknow with awesome dining facility of #RoyalCafe.
Loved the good ambience and the monsoon winds were a win win situation. The basket chat was amazing and I'm a fan.
On my trip to Lucknow.. Royal cafe in Hazaratganj was on top list...and m glad i tried their chaats and batashas...I ordered Chatpati palak, Dahi batasha same as we get stuffed golgappe here in Delhi, Mattar tikki which was out of the world and this would be my best tikki till years now..lol..I cnt forget that soft mouth melting taste of mattar tikki...I also liked their Chatpati palak chaat as it was a new concept for me and nvr knew i will become fan of this chaat...This is f best place for all the chatoras like me..hahah...They serve world class chaat here...Thank you.
Basket chaat is a unique way of serving the traditional of chaat.
Royal cafe chaat is hard to resist. .
That 1 plate of basket chaat is super loaded with all the variety of stuff and the taste which it leaves on your basket chaat's plate -- *STAYS FOREVA*
It is full of flavors tingling with your taste buds and i must Quote "You will surely enjoy till the last spoon" . .
There are so many ingredients mixed in this basket chaat like dahi, matar, tikki , chatney's , anaardana, mungfhali, laiya and varieties of masala's etc etc. .
You will get each and every taste in this chaat like there is a taste of tikkhi chutneyy , allu matar's taste , the taste of dahi bada and those different types of masala's taste will drive u crazyy and also the mouth watering taste of meethi chatney's too and what not! 😌
PS - .(This "Basket Chaat" is totally paisa wasuul chaat ) And also 'bout the hazmola ki chutneyy k kya kahne. 😋💃
Highly recommended to all . 😍

Royal cafe is famous for basket chaat. I've tried basket chaat many a times but this time, I tried papdo chaat and it was very today. It had papdi, pomegranate seeds, coriander leaves, sev, tamarind chutney, coriander chutney and gave the taste of sweet, sour and spicy in one plate. I loved the place a lot, including the ambiance ❤
The service is really quick and staff is well trained.
The place with the best aloo tikki and basket chat . ❤️ Especially everyone should try it
I ordered for their premium thali which had six dishes including a sweet as well , I must say the food taste was awesome so far in Lucknow but quantity and packing was something can be better. As you can see in pictures the salad was not even packed.
When I think of basket chat..its non other than royal cafe..u will the best basket chat,dahi batasha hete only.bit expensive..but for yummmilicious chat its best
Amazing place for families and friends.
Everything is available.
Awesome environment.
I really like the taste plus the presentation but it was very spicy 🥵 all the best
Basket chaat : A unique and popular chaat recipe from northern india, especially from lucknow. it is made with grated and deep fried potatoes which is later topped with the chaat chutneys and savouries. the whole idea of this chaat recipe is to serve in an edible basket and the basket becomes a part of the chaat recipe. @royalcafelko @hardayalmaurya

Gentle Ambience, Enough space, Good crowd, royal inn legacy and awesome food is all about royal cafe. I had ordered Paneer Tikka Masala and believe me that was so good. It was spicy enough as much required and gravy was light. Hot n soup soup was also good with good quantity.

Royal Cafe is definitely Lucknow's most popular family restaurant. If Tunday is an absolute example of a food genius success, Royal Cafe is surely an absolute example of modern food commerce success. Initially started as a brilliant chat corner, it did move into commerce direction, but with huge success, because of the proper standardization.
The location of the flagship outlet surely deserves some credit for its success. Located in the heart of Hazratganj, the most popular marketplace in Lucknow, it's a very fine fine dining restaurant which to any outsiders surprise, is also a magnificent evening snack place. I remember how much I used to love the big basket chat after having some really brilliant Batashe I think Basket chat is still Royal Cafe's most popular item.
The story doesn't end with the much adored Pani ke Batashe, Aloo Tikkis & basket chat. There is a whole new world behind the doors. The ambiance is just like any old fine dine restaurant, the service blends well with the ambiance, it's difficult to ignore the Lakhnawi accent, smile and the typical Indian nod. The food, if you've a good selection, is great. I have visited the place both as a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian, and I was never disappointed. Honestly, I'm not a Paneer Tikka fan, but I tried some 'that day's speciality paneer tikka', and I still remember that tinge after so many years.
Royal Cafe is still the best budget family restaurant. It's a perfect place for any *typical* family occasion, be it your parents anniversary, your dad's birthday or a meeting with your in laws, Royal Cafe will make sure you don't go back
This basket chaat is mouthwatering🤩, one of the best I had. Tikki mixed with so many ingredientsand crunchy basket gives incredible tastes in every bite. A must try ♥️. One basket chaat is enough for 2-3 people.
Price - 190/plate

Royal cafe is one of the favourite cafe in Lucknow

I personally like the chaat of the royal cafe which is all time favourite...
Talking about food

Basket chaat
Any many moreee
I love the ambience n the food
Highly recommended
🧡🧡
Happy eater 🧡
Tried the basket chat after a long time, it’s delicious as before and portion size is good enough for two people,although its quite overpriced.
I tried the basket chat and then i visited it more 4 time for the same basket chat then you can understand how good it is. They have both indoor area and outdoor area. Outdoor area is basically for chats and all and the indoor is suitable for lunch and dinner
Basket Chat is as awesome as ever... Done with our diwali trip to royal cafe.. Will see you next year :)
Taste is great and so is the ambience. Food is served in large potions so confirm before ordering in large quantities. We tried both veg and non-veg food and we're satisfied with quality and quantity. They also accept zomato gold which is like cherry on the cake.
A chat with full of happiness mix with curd and pomegranate buckets which made of gram flour, if you are in lucknow go visit this place you will love the taste ,
I visited this amazing place😍.....And this place is really good...The royal cafe is the best restaurant in lucknow.....This place is no needs introduction 🤗and the food is tempting and delicious
Royal cafe as a name feels like royal first of all coming to the ambiance which is too much beautiful and food was also good staff was so disciplined and service was also good .
This place needs no introduction .
It's slowly become an iconic place for people to quench their Chaat pangs.
What's not advertised is the family restaurant area which though offers a 3star ambience and decor ..gets full marks for the menu variety and taste .
PS:try All their nonveg platters . And drinks
Good food, but take too much time.. staff pretty decent. Must visit kinda thing for panipuri in Lucknow.. authentic taste. Waiting time worst thing.
I visited this good place for it's basket Chaat which was honestly really good ! And the royal cafe is one of the best restaurant in lucknow ! A good food in a reasonable prices ! I loved this place !
Ordered Pani Puri and Paneer Tikka, bit disappointed by Pani Puri as the puris are few vis-a-vis what I paid though I can't deny the fact they were toothsome, two varieties of water and adequate amount of matar and crispy puris makes you want more and more.
Paneer Tikka was toooo darn good probably the best paneer tikka I've tried in town. It was adequate, juicy plus the smoky flavour, chutney and salad adds 5 stars to this dish. Strongly recommend whenever you make a visit, Do try 👍🏻
Cheers!
known for there veg and non veg indian cusine.. i used to prefer delux thall ... which come in 350 approx and its a enough for one person. recommend 4/5
I luv this place. Amazing service. Well designed decor. And very important awesome food taste. I tried chicken rehra with butter tandoori roti which makes me mesmerize. I luv this place n everyone should try this!!@fooditerians
Tasty basket chat n fulfilling too. Delicious chola bhatura n much more. Good food in short. Thumbs up to this place. Would definitely recommend this place.
This is the best place in the entire town for a family dinner. I mean you can't find any flaw in the entire place, whether it be service or it be quality or food portion or any other thing. Brief is stated below :
!! AMBIENCE !!
1. The restaurant format is completely Royal it's area is in golden theme which showcases a royal feel.
2. The Big Size hall makes it convenient for a big no. Of people to eat simultaneously.
3. The great place has great service that serves great food.
!! GOODS !!
1. The location of the outlet is pretty great.
2. The food served is with the best of qualities I ever had.
3. If you are hookah smoking or a pup lover then colours is available at the roof top of the same restaurant.
4. Valet parking available.
!! REVIEW !!
you cannot find a better lunch place or dinner place rather than this in the city of Lucknow. you can trust blindly on Royal Cafe in terms of quality and Ambience which are the most required things.
The food from this place was awesome but as per the price the cafe is a bit expensive. Since i ordered the food so i could not say much about the staff service and ambience. I would suggest this place if u are in search of some good food
Royal cafe, the name in enough for the taste. They have maintained there quality in taste and service and I really love their food. I can visit again and again
This place is conveniently located on the busy street of hazratganj which serves some outstanding delicacies of Lucknow. It's a charming little restaurant, peaceful with a pretty decent ambience. The food was good, the mutton we had was well cooked, the breads were nice. Over all a nice place to visit for a good meal.
One of the oldest places of Lucknow, super tasty food within reasonable price.
Only issue is of waiting time during weekends and they won’t reserve table. But waiting time is worthwhile although now you have many choices in Lucknow to go for family dinner but it still stands out.

Royal Cafe at Shanajaf Road is one of the good restaurants in Lucknow. The quality of the food is good. However the prices are on the higher side.

When it comes to good food then it reminds me the Nawabo ka seher Lucknow... Amazing food but served with full love and this place makes my meal amazing by serving me Catori Chaat... Loved it
We visited this most glamour place for its basket chaat which was honestly really good. We also ordered galouti kabab and chicken and keema naan. We had dahi vada too. Each and every food item on his list is highly recommended. Only drawback is the price. It's expensive for a town like Lucknow which is otherview very reasonable.
One of the best in Lucknow. Been eating here since school days. You'll find most of the people standing right outside the restaurant, waiting for their basket chaat. But apart from the chaat, I'd highly recommend-
Butter chicken, Afghani chicken and their Chicken biriyani. The manchurian served is good too. They've changed a lot over the years. You can expect more privacy now. The ambience overall is good :)
Amazing food.
The only problem was the alcoholic beverages were not available, most weren't. And whatecer was wasn't cold.
They need to be a little professional in terms of staff.
And the lounge can definitely needs a makeover.
The beverages - alcoholic were more expensive the most places which was a dissapointment.
But no complaints with the food and quantity.

Overall experience 4/5
Food 4/5
Ambience 5/5
Staff 3/5
Awesome place .
It is one of the places where you can have dinner with your family , friends .
Food is really awesome .
Staff is also much friendly .
This is an amazing mouth watering full of butter pao bhaji. The best part of this is that they use loads of veggies . Pao are perfectly grilled In butter. Garnishing done by coriander and paneer give it a perfect look
This place claims to serve the best Basket Chaat, undoubtedly the chaat is good but they kinda overdo everything so I didn't find it exceptionally good. Quantity was enough for two.
The cafe has a fine dine in. Service is prompt and the staff is professional. Ambience is also nice.
I have tried their Chicken Steak Sizzlers, Pav Bhaji, Garlic Bread and Pasta; for the price the quantity was much so I didn't find the pricing to be high.
Place is good but it's definitely overhyped.
Best place for chaat lovers. We had basket chaat here.
It was yumm but bit heavy. One basket chaat serves 2 persons.
If you are visiting Lucknow, this is a must visit place.
This place is amazing if you are into Indian food. Their tikkas, biryani, paneer, naans are lovely. Don't order Chinese. We ordered noodles and didn't like them. All in all a pretty decent place to done out with family.
This cafe is located in the busy lane of hazratganj. The Basket Chaat as written on its banner outside js World Famous :) Many celebrities have visited the cafe to have a variety of chat pati Chaats. Their special chaat is Basket Chaat which is loaded with different ingredients like aloo tikki, dahi bhalla, papdi, chole and chutneys. The chaat was good. visit this place if you are a true Chaat lover!
It was a weekend when we planned to go out for dinner, and the place we chose was the famous royal cafe, We ordered butter chicken with butter naan and before that at the starters chicken tikka, the chicken tikka was juicy, the butter chicken had a very good taste, and the butter naan was soft dipped with butter.
Situated in the busy lanes of Hazratganj, Royal Cafe is a cult restaurant of Lucknow that has had the biggest of celebrities swoon over its food all these years. For starters, the place is quite hygienic and staff is very polite. They are famous for their Chaat and without a doubt, they serve the best Basket Chaat, Paalak Patta Chaat and Chole Tikki Chaat. While you are here don't forget to try the Hing ke Batashe, milkshakes and yummy icecream Sundaes. For a proper meal, you can also head into their restaurant and enjoy an array of delights they offer.
Best Basket Chaat in the city. They are mouth watering , super delicious . Quantity is also very nice. Sufficient for two persons. Crispy and yummy
Royal cafe heard a lot about it famous for its baslet chaat.......so i Tried their basket chaat which was beautifull lookwise ,was fully loaded but taste was average , even tired it's aloo chat ,fries, Papdii chat which was yummy 😀😀.....
I went to this place recently and have the best experience. The food was awsome, good staff, amazing food.
Interiors are good..The taste of food was amazing and sufficient according to the price. Had a great experience.
It offers good chaats....specially basket chaat...pani ke batashe was fine but not the best...basket chaat is almost similar to Basket chaat at Haldirams.
The food are rich in authentic taste and texture. They serve variety of cuisines. Love the mughlai cuisine. The Murgh korma, paneer tikka and daal makhni are rich in taste and flavours
One of my favourite place in Lucknow to hangout with family and friends. The food is authentic in taste and freshly made. The ambiance is very good and quick service. Love the basket chaat, daal makhni and kadhai paneer.
Whoever is going to visit this place to have a complete meal Chicken RC special for non-vegetarian and Paneer matka masala for vegans is going to be treat to them.
Basket Chat 5*
I visited that place and it was random. After reaching there I was amazed by there popularity.
They deserve that.
All the chaats were awesome.
Mine fav is dahi bhalle and basket chat.
-1 is coz price was little hight.
soon going to visit again.
Went to lucknow after 25 years and fell in love with the chaat at this place.. The टोकरी chaat which लखनऊ इस famous for was very different and heavy.. The crispy potato basket was filled with all sorts of things like chole and chutneys and dahi vada etc.. Tasted really nice though.. The best chaat was the matar की chaat with नींबू and masala etc i loved it the most.. The rest of the chaats were great too the papdi chaat the dahi पूरी chaat the पाव bhaji were really nice. The पाव bhaji here is very different from what we get in delhi or mumbai. It had a great flavour of garlic. And was nice. We ordered the pasta and all I can say that it wasn't bad comdisering I ordered a pasta in a place known for other things than Italian. Great place would love to go back again Cheers
When in Lucknow, a visit to royal cafe is a must. Royal cafe is the place who introduced basket chaat concept in lucknow. They have fine dine area and street style food outside as well. I remember visiting royal cafe since i was a kid.
Mr. Hardayal maurya is the face behind those lip smacking chaats. He will always welcome you with a great smile and zeal. Try royal sky basket chaat, different flavoured gol gappas, dahi bhalla for sure. You gonna fall in love for sure.
Came here with friends to enjoy their famous chaat. And wasn't disappointed at all. Tried the papdi chaat and aloo tikki and like all the Royal Cafes, the taste was good. Just try if you are around the area.
I found this place best for having a quiet meal with family although the price is a bit over in some of the selected dishes but overall food is amazing here
Ordered paneer tikka. It was awesome. Feels like eating tikka of Barbeque style...With smoky flavour in d tikka. It was good experience. Nice..
The non veg snakes are just the way to go. They serve quite a variety of items all having unique taste. Loved the boneless fish and Chicken malai tikka.
One of its kind was like a second home , relative was the manager and a friend of mine had all his events organised there . the place is huge and serves foreigners very often banquet area is upstairs and seems even bigger so butter chicken and pani puri are must have and also the chinese . 🔥
I must say their ambiance is just rocking.
We go their for their signature busket chat.
First of all the presentation is very refreshing and colourful. There is a blast of flavours in the mouth, in every bite there is a unique flavour that's pleased your mouth.
Absolutely in love with it..
Highly recommended.
I visited here on 26th Nov 2023. I had Basket Chat, Taste was good and also their Hajmola.
The atmosphere was good here and people were excited to meet the Chaat kind and have their favourite dishes. Only thing which I feel is the price is on a little higher side.

This is truly a royal restaurant. The restaurant is located in a prime area. All chats are located at the entrance of the restaurant which are really appetizing. The restaurant has two floors and both the floor have a great ambience.
The food is really amazing. We went for dinner and tried some vegetarian options. The spinach soup had small paneer and carrot bits which added to the taste of the soup. The vegetarian assorted kebab platter had all the kebabs they prepare and came in a very good presentation.
The tandoori breads were extremely fresh and had a good taste. They are worth trying. They add food color to paneer butter masala to bring out that bright orange-red color, but the taste and consistency was on spot. The veg kofta gravy was good and mildly spicy as requested.
Overall the food was a solid 9/10.
The service was also on spot as they suggest which one to try and they serve all food on your plate as well. They were very courteous. But they do expect some tips at the end when you are paying.
Having said all these, I would recommend this restaurant only if you are ready to pay high cost. They use their image that many celebrities come to Royal Cafe.
Food was ok, not bad in taste and not very great to remember.
I am a fan of hot and spicy foods and perhaps both of them are missing in entire Lucknow.
Service was also fine, not much waiting.
The Basket Chat is very popular, and indeed it is good. But the restaurant staff inside was quite hostile.
The prices are a little high, so go with a full pocket.
Wonderful eat joint bang at the start of MG road , Hazrat ganj. It's so close to the metro station . For people with a gastronomic sense and a busy tongue, this is the place to be. On tha patio and pavement is the chat corner and sit leat done in is there next. The food is great. The taste typical avadhi. The cleanliness and hygiene praiseworthy. The attitude, attentiveness and behaviour of the stewards very polite and disarming. The Indian menu is full of fragrant, aroma filled delights. The kebabs are sumptuous . The mutton prep are really canvassed for bt the staff and are good. Must visit while in Lucknow
It was a good experience, The food was delicious and tasty and the portions were very nice. Lemon Coriander soup was very tasty and the Paneer Chilli was good but similarly very oily, that could be avoidable. Overall it was a good experience.
Best place to visit in lucknow If your are foodie...very good staff there services are really good. And it was famous for there chat...I really like to recommend to every body to try there chat vairety...also it was located in very nice place which is called hazaratganj...very good place to shopping and hangout purpose...but,the royal Cafe taste is very good..you can visit with your friends and family...sometime they start changing there food vairety as per Indian festival...like in Navratri they also offer you to fasting food, so it was really good to all people in fasting.
We tried papdi chaat and basket chaat here and I liked papdi chaat very much coz it was crispy and with a lot of curd and chilli chutney.. but have mixed opinion about basket chaat. For Street food options, this place is right choice, a bit more hygienic and spacious . Famous in Lucknow for it's chaat options, always jam packed.
You will get the real vibe of this place at night. Nice food, beautiful people and beautiful place. I had the famous basket chat. A single basket chat will make you tummy full.
Authentic taste...
The taste of veg handi biryani was great.. you can feel the aroma when they serve it...
We also had veg clear soup which was also good in taste.
They have numbers of authentic dishes in veg as well as in non-veg.
A very good place situated in Hazratganj (heart of city).. the faluda , basket chat is must try .. Also other chat options, lassi is good to have here
A hyped place for having a chatt and that is also their world-famous basket chat. This basket is made from some besan material and chatt is placed right inside it. Quite an expensive one with one basket worth Rs 250. Only self-service is there and one may have to stand right on the footpath. A one-time recommended place for having one basket chatt.
Great place very near to Hasrantganj metro station and very famous place.
Many celebrities in the past has visited this place.
I tried basket chaat price is 250
Three people can eat this easily. They have various chaats and ice cream.
In my opinion price was to much expensive for basket chaat
Catch up with chacha for instant instagram posts while savoring one of the best chaats and lassi in town. This place is packed with people n vibes for your evening quick hangout.
A decent restaurant close to the metro station. Their signature dish, Basket chaat, was nothing special-just felt like it was a mixture of all the leftover chaat varieties !! More tourists than locals!
