Modern-day Lucknow is imbued with the old-world charm of its Awadhi past. Hire a tonga and allow your tongawallah to guide you to Lucknow’s best spots. Don’t miss the Bara Imambara and its legendary Bhool Bhulaiya, the Chota Imambara, and the massive Rumi Darwaza between the two Nawabi monuments. Spend an evening dining on kebabs around the Chowk and Aminabad areas, off tiny street stalls or at standalone restaurants like Tunday Kababi and Raheem Hotel, or go beyond to experiment with chaat.
