Culinary History of Awadh: Kebabs and Nawabs

Each Restaurant in Lucknow is not just a standalone operation in a bustling city of over a million people, but a scion of the rich culinary tradition that was born in the city much like the poetry that has never quite left the streets and still pervades the heart and mind and most importantly the soul of every Lucknowite who has ever lived.

Awadhi Cuisine in Lucknow can be traced back to when the Bawarchis (chefs) and Rakabdars (gourmet cooks) of the Nawabs of Awadh invented the "Dum" style of cooking or the art of cooking over a slow fire, which has become synonymous with Lucknow today. Their spreads consisted of elaborate dishes such as kebabs, kormas, biryanis, kaliyas, nahari-kulchas, zarda, sheermal, roomali rotis, and warqi parathas. The richness of Awadh cuisine lies not only in the variety of cuisine but also in the ingredients used like mutton, paneer, and rich spices, which include cardamom and saffron.

Thus, it comes as no surprise that you’ll find the best kebabs in Lucknow, considering how Kebabs are an integral part of Awadhi cuisine. There are several varieties of popular Lucknow kebabs in Awadhi cuisine viz. Kakori Kebabs, Galawat ke Kebabs, Shami Kebabs, Boti Kebabs, Patili-ke-Kebabs, Ghutwa Kebabs and Seekh Kebabs are among the known varieties. Some would argue that you’d also find the best biryani in Lucknow owing to the Dum-Pakht style of cooking.

Ranking among the Best Non-Veg restaurants in Lucknow, The Kebab Express is proud to uphold this rich culinary tradition of Awadh. We at The Kebab Express are committed to carrying this torch onwards into the future and add our own distinct flavour to this beautiful transcendence of food into an Artform.

It is said that the Nawab of Lucknow, Nawab Asaf-Ud-Dowlah, had lost all teeth. But, the toothless nawab was so enormous there was no horse could carry him. What was his mystery? Legend has it that he charged the formation of a variant of his dearest kebabs that could be eat without using his teeth. The Nawab’s cook outlined another kebab that would utilize the finest lamb cuts, and include a tenderizer along with flavor to the entire preparation with a brilliant zest blend. Henceforth known as the ‘Galawati Kebab’, it became an innate part of the culture and tradition of this city. One can find these mouth-watering dishes across the best non-veg restaurants in Lucknow.
