If you’re a true blue Lucknowi, Biryani has to be on the top of your food list. We love ourselves a healthy dose of meat, fluffy rice, aromatic smell and the rich taste of biryani, hence we flock to any and every biryani outlet we hear of.
What happens when we can’t go out to get ourselves a good biryani? Do we just let our cravings be? No! On the contrary, we try to order ourselves some awesome biryani!
But alas! The random place that we order from often ends up disappointing us and ruining the standards we’ve set for a good biryani. Not anymore!
If you’re looking to order a rich, delicious and flavourful biryani anywhere in Lucknow, take a look at the list of our top biryani “delivery” centers and thank us later.
1. Idrees, Chowk
[rebelmouse-image 22612926 original_size=”1472×922″ expand=1]
Idrees is a giant when it comes to biryani. If you are a fan of biryani and live in Lucknow, there’s no way you haven’t heard about Idrees’ epic biryani. The long-grain fluffy rice, delicate mutton pieces, the richness of the biryani, the aroma of spices and the salan (gravy) served with it makes Idrees the most loved biryani place in the city.
To our delight, Idrees delivers the mouth-watering dish right to our doorstep! If you want to taste the legendary flavours of Idrees ki biryani, order it from Local-It.
2. Naushijan, Lalbagh
[rebelmouse-image 22612927 original_size=”1520×1016″ expand=1]
One of the oldest food outlets in the city, Naushijan has a great rep when it come to Mughlai food. The restaurant still maintains its charm, taste and the quality of food they serve. The ‘Dumpukht Biryani’ here is one of the most delicately prepared biryanis you’ll taste. The meat falls off the bone, while the rice is rich, aromatic and fluffy.
They serve their biryani with the necessary chutney and pyaz and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Order from any major food delivery platform.
3. Wahid Biryani, Aminabad
[rebelmouse-image 22612928 original_size=”1502×985″ expand=1]
Wahid is another legend when it comes to great biryani. The restaurant is over 70 years old and has still managed to maintain the taste and the flavours that we’re familiar with. If you are looking for a non-fatty, non-greasy biryani, you’ll be disappointed, but if you’re a true non-veg aficionado and are looking for a great dish, with beautiful aromas and great flavours, Wahid is where you order from.
Get the chicken biryani here, for the rice remains aromatic, fluffy and delicious while the chicken is cooked to perfection!
4. Lalla Biryani, Chowk
[rebelmouse-image 22612929 original_size=”1256×1030″ expand=1]
You cannot say no to Lalla Biryani’s epic taste and the soulful satisfaction it offers. A Lucknowite knows and loves Lalla for what it is- a legend and nothing less. The delicious biryani is rich, full of flavours, aromatic and falling off the bone.
The rich, fatty biryani is a favourite of Lucknowites and we feel the exact same way about the delivered one.
5. Dastarkhwan, Kaiserbagh
[rebelmouse-image 22612930 original_size=”1554×1114″ expand=1]
Another biggie from the biryani scene in Lucknow, Dastarkhwan is a legend! Everything they make is pretty darn delicious and we cannot have enough of their kebabs, roasted chicken and foremost, the biryani. Whenever we speak of iconic Mughlai outlets, the name Dastarkhwan, is a must.
Though the taste of everything at the outlet remains mostly the same, we aren’t complaining for a little variation. The biryani here is still pretty great and you can order yours with a customary side of salan.
6. Tunday Kababi, Aminabad
[rebelmouse-image 22612934 original_size=”1108×998″ expand=1]
Tunday Kababi is loved all over the city and even out of it. The soft delectable kebabs have made a home in our hearts and we can never have enough of their kabab-paratha combo. But they also serve a pretty delicious biryani; laden with flavours and floral aromas, the biryani strikes a balance between rich and light.
Make sure to order from the business-daddy of all Tunday outlets, the Aminabad one.
7. Camcook, Gomti Nagar
[rebelmouse-image 22612940 original_size=”1422×1034″ expand=1]
Fairly new to the city, Camcook is a cloud kitchen that has been creating all the buzz in the city. Their food is hygienic, it is delicious and of great quality. Not only is the concept of a cloud kitchen new for Lucknow, Camcook’s flavour pairings and the superb taste strike a chord too.
If you’re looking for a light biryani, sprinkled with some brown onions, delivered to your doorstep, Camcook is where you order from.
8. Acacia, Gomti Nagar
[rebelmouse-image 22612944 original_size=”840×934″ expand=1]
Another newbie to the biryani scene of Lucknow, Acacia does justice to the iconic Lucknowi biryani. Their ‘Murg Lakhnawi Dum Biryani’ and ‘Gosht Akbari Dum Biryani’ are the modern version of Mughlai delicacies and we love it to bits. Unlike most biryanis, this one isn’t dripping with oil or overly rich; they make their biryanis with a balance and that is why people are fans of this outlet.
This is a biryani you can have everyday. Order it for an office lunch or a fun party with friends.
9. Chahat Biryani, Aliganj
[rebelmouse-image 22612946 original_size=”1200×1607″ expand=1]
For anyone who lives in the Aliganj area, Chahat Biryani has been the flag-bearer of a good biryani. They serve traditional Awadhi biryani which is rich, yet made with light aromatic spices. The meat is cooked to perfection, the rice fluffy and the biryani is always served with a side of salan and green chutney.
They have pretty reasonable rates and the serving quantity is good too, so you can chomp down on all the deliciousness and have zero remorse.
So don’t wait up anymore! Order your favourite biryani from the comforts of your home and have an epic meal. Happy Munching!
