Kebabs in Lucknow | Best Non Veg Restaurants in Lucknow | The Kebab Express

           Tales of the Awadhi Cuisine




The history of AwadhiCuisine in Lucknow is wrought with several stories that illustrate the culture and food habits of those decadent times that have distinguished Nawabi food from other Indian and World cuisines. Some of the best Lucknow Kebabs being served at The Kebab Express owe their origins to as early as 1200 AD according to Ibn Battuta, the Moroccan traveller, who observed them being served in the courts of Nawab Saadat Ali Khan who is credited to have brought them to Lucknow.

The earliest kebabs introduced to India were through soldiers, who skewered the prey hunted during day with their swords and cooked them over open spits. This then went over centuries of interesting evolution to become the best kebabs served in Lucknow at the best non veg restaurants in Lucknow. The early Kebabs were chewy and apt as Survival food at best. Their journey to become the famous Lucknow Kebabs involved some glorious incidents, ranging from Nawabs who were so obsessed with relishing differently flavoured kebabs everyday that the Khaansamas toiled more than even peasants, to asking the Rakaabdaar to use mysterious ingredients and make it hard for the Nawab to guess them.

The ancestors of some of the modern day best restaurants in Lucknow, the best Kebabs in Lucknow and the best biryani in Lucknow are known to have been especially crafty in producing Lucknow Kebabs of absolutely mind-boggling variety. Ranging from the melt-in-the-mouth Gilawati/Galauti kebab to the truly complex profiled Kakori kebab, Awadhi Cuisine in Lucknow has taught a lot to The KebabExpress and its stories of yore remain an inspiration for the next generation to keep serving the great food Lucknow has always been known for!
