Well I am in love with the food Abejo offered us. Everything was just perfecttt!!!
Mumtaz Tangdi was an interesting amalgamation of Chicken legs stuffed with mutton kheema. Marination was done so well that every bite tickled the taste buds pleasantly. Succulent and delicious, this dish took my heart away. Must must try!!! Puneri machli tikka was so soft that it just melted in the mouth and the divine flavours popped out. Quantity was a little less than expected though. However, it surely was a delightful dish.
Peri peri french fries is a fundamental snack that's ordered so often that there's no wow element in it as compared to other fancy snacks. But hey these fries out here had their own charm. They were absolutely flawless. Perfect crisp and perfect lightness with perfect taste.
Chicken biryani was average, could have been better. Cocktails were good, adequately composed. Overall we had a great experience at Abejo. I'm surely taking my foodie friends there next time to explore more of their spread.
Abejo the restaurant which serves you the gems of awadhi cuisines is undoubtedly one of the finest restaurant when it comes to the North Indian cuisines.
Few days back when I visited this place I was astonished with the interiors which were not just mughlai but had a modern touch with the graffitis made on the wall. So without wasting any time let's talk about the food I had there.
Starting with the drink we were served a kokum flavored mocktail which was refreshing and had good tangy sweet taste. The rim of Glass had chat masala so whenever I had a sip I had a blast of flavors in my mouth. It was definitely a great start for a lunch on a hot summer day.
Moving on on we were served the Lucknowi aalo tikki. The tikki which was shallow fried aalo tikki dipped in curd with sweet tamarind chutney and and green spicy chutney was real treat to the taste buds with that sweet and spicy burst of flavors.
The second starter in veg that was served was kathal ke kebab now it was my first time to try savory dish made out of jackfruit though I have heard that there are many things that could be made from jackfruit but this was my first time to try the kebabs and well i absolutely loved it . Served with the chutney on the side these Kebabs were soft and melted in mouth I know we can't compare it with mutton galawti kebabs but if a vegetarian wants to experience the texture of mutton galawti kebabs he or she can try this they are pretty similar.
Moving ahead to the non veg starters we had the galawti kebabs well with that mouthwatering flavor of cardamom and different ground species the galawti just melted in mouth soft tender and juicy mutton was definitely worth trying. If I will ever visit nearby area I'll make sure that I have their galawti kebabs.
Next we had lasooni Chicken Tikka
Well with the intense flavor of garlic this tandoor cooked chunks of succulent chicken cooked in tandoor this Tikka was definitely a good start for the meal
Piston ka kheema
Well I love kheema but the piston ka kheema was something I never heard of the kheema with pistachio gave it a different texture with some great crunch also the aromas of pistachio gave this kheema a complete different experience.
Daal Makhni
Well it was ages since I had real dal makhni and I have to say daal Makhni main dum hai boss. If you can't decide what to order definitely go for daal makhni
Gajaria Halwa
Well I loved it and I bet you too will not too sweet this is a perfect dessert to end your meal

The galawti kebabs are so hard to master as they are tender and flavours need to be perfect. These kebabs here just melted in my mouth. I could tell that the Lucknow-ness in it .
Lasooni chicken tikka was nicely marinated and flavourful. It was cooked to perfection.
Phulka tacos was something interesting. The Indian fusion of tacos kind of took me away and made me realise that our indian dishes can literally overtake any dish around the world because they were better than the original Mexican tacos.
Coming to the mains , the paneer chena kofta was just out of the world. It is a must order here and you have my word on it. It was so scrumptious and went well with garlic naan.
Dal makhani too had authentic flavours, like how the North Indians make it , rich and thick and makhani!
Desserts, i loved the gulab jamun with rabri , the paan icecream and the cheesecake.
Verdict - if you are looking for some really good food , this is the place to hit without a doubt!
