Review Hucka Restaurant - Kanpur

Visit this restaurant quite often. Realized that it becomes my favourite spot. Great space and food quality is top-notch. Truly a satisfying experience. The perfect menu, reasonable price, and quality are as expected.

Loved the food. Very reasonable. The bill reflects the dishes we chose for 5 adults. Quantity was good. We over indulged. Baked fish was the best. Must order. Chilli paratha was spicy and delicious. Should try this place. Highly recommended.

Had visited 2 days ago and found amazing vibes and food Food was good and service is too fast. Price is nominal. Great ambiance for age group. You can celebrate Birthday and parties here.

Nawabz is a Beautiful family restaurant serving such delicious fast food and main course The ambience of the place is really beautiful Seating area is so large they have different sections for families as well Taking about the food this place serves authentic non-veg food and veg food as well So in all the place is really recommended by me in terms of quality and quantity of food You can enjoy your day here with family and friends also for your little celebrations.

A very nice place to hangout, situated at a very posh location, nawabz has Avery good ambience and food is delicious. You can also enjoy hukka over there

Wanna feel like nawab? . Then u have to go this place @nawabz_restaurant . One of the oldest lounge now with its new renovation. . Their ambiance is really awesome with two private party areas where you can enjoy your birthday, kitty parties and many more get together. Finger licking food with very nominal rates. . Unlimited tasty grill and buffet only at a price of ₹ 599 for veg and ₹ 699 for non veg. Hai na best??😍😍 Then what r u waiting for? Go and enjoy😊😊

As name suggests !! Nawabz is the biggest name in kanpur when you talk about the finest lounges.. Their food is just lip smacking !! Do give a try to their non veg menu ..

NAWABZ - A descent place to hangout with friends . Before this place was named as hukka , it is located in arya nagar . It serves delicious snacks. This place is mainly famous for hukka. But, it's dishes are also AMAZING! The service is quick. The prices over here are pocket friendly. I ordered- BULLET ROLL It tasted Amazing. CHILLY CHICKEN GARLIC NOODLES The taste of it was very good. The quantity of it is also good. It was nice spicy , tangy. THREE PEPPER POTATO It's a must try dish over here. It's the best . The potato are perfect crispy , spicy . It tastes the best. My favorite is honey chilly potato , noodles.

Amazing place guys.. You fall in love with this place at first time.. And food is also good.. Ambience is eyes catching.. ❤️💕Highly recommended..

a very amazing ambience... different sections with different themed ambience... that's the most loved part of this place.. and the dishes are super yummmy... 😚🤤🤤 love the place... 🌈✨

This is a very nice place with a good atmosphere to it...the temperature was well maintained and the food was appetizing😋 especially the Corn Pepper Salt We also had the manchow soup, honey chilli potato and the chilli panner which were all good:) I think it is a better place for adults👍 It's a nice place to relax and to chill out...

I order chicken chilly garlic noodles and chicken pizza....both of them were delicious and tasty 😋. I liked the over all interior division as it allow you to choose your seat.

Food & atmosphere was amazing... The only thing I'm disappointed with is slow service...Which is not a good deal... Afterall experience was good... will definitely try again..

Chicken patiyala was awesome. Good place for a group of friends

Awesome fooding and ambience. Staff is very humble and approachable.

fabulous place services r superbb all the staff is very kind such a fab restaurant...& food is like yummmm...🤤😋

Very Fantastic 👍 place for Outing...in Arya Nagar heart 💓 of kanpur..service & food are excellent 👌

Amazing experience when ever I visit there ambience amazing😍 Food amazing

I have been here several times ,its a good place to hangout as they serve good food along with the hookah...there service is good ..food is fresh..n also tastes good.

Hucka is now closed, after facing some legal complications. A new restaurant 'Nawabz' has come up in it's place. The menu options are similar.

I didn't like this place very much. The atmosphere was too dull, too low. It took too long for our order to arrive. The place was too expensive as well.

I liked paneer lababdar and malai kofta d most.....................nice food n good service😊...............................................

I would request no one to visit this place.<br/>It is now known as 'Nawabz'.<br/>The owner and the staff are really rude and hence do not know about customer staisfaction. <br/><br/>Please do not vist and recommend anyone else also to nkt visit

Hucka has changed its name as NAWAB. with name it has also change its quality, which is more bad tha previous. People working there at post manager and other, don't have manner to talk with customer. They are giving any discount to IIT kanpur people as previously.They are not mentioning any VAT of GST on their bill. Once u ask for discount, they are saying like with discount they will add 18% GST. I don't know how they can do that. <br/>So My suggestion for those going to hucka..... Try to avoid this NAWAB(formerly Hucka)....Go to other places....... If needed i can upload the yesterday(14/10/17) bill also

They've renovated the place and changed the name to nawabz.<br/>Sheesha is good<br/>Ordered diwan-e-mastana flavour.<br/>Food- average<br/>Ordered 3 pepper potato,chicken do pyaza,and one more chicken dish on the recommendation of the waiter.<br/>Food was pretty average.<br/>But overall a good place to go.<br/>Edit - went today again to eat here<br/>The way the staff talked was pathetic. If you people don't know how to treat your customer then please shut this place down. I guess in the increasing competition you should hold onto your frequent customers atleast.

It is closed for renovation for atleast 2 months..so all reviews are fake ..yes i love this place nd waiting for it to open soon..till then visit some other there are plenty of them now..😊

My all time favourite ...paneer lababdaar and malai kofta( one of the best that i have eaten ever....and believe me i have eaten a lot).Enjoy them with their amazingly baked butter roti..its bliss...long tym since i visited this place which was one of the most visited place during my college days.

Awsum hucka and awsum presentation..The staff is friendly and also the atmosphere and crowd is good..along wid hucka the non veg and chilli paneer is also awsum..

It's a good place to visit but the staff behaviour is lil bad and they take long time to serve anything and one time when I went inside what I saw that they were drinking hookah and chatting instead of serving it<br/>

Soothing environment and perfect to dine in with your friends.Ordered honey chilli potatoe and spring rolls which was very crispy and tasted good with hucka(pan flavoured).Aura of the place is good and a perfect place to spend quality time with friends.

It was closed on 7th July for renovation, on enquiring, was told that it will remain closed for almost a month. Call them before visit (Ignore the rating)

Hucka comes up with good and tasty food.The quality and quantity is worth the price.washroom is pathetic....they should do something for it.<br/>But overall it's nice.<br/>But the most irritating thing is after you finish up waiters ask for heavy tips.

This is another one of those go to restaurants where you get great starters and food. The hucka helps set the ambience for this place. The service is amazing. The food and starters have decent variety to choose from and are good always.<br/> PS - There is a 20% student discount too.

lift is hopeless<br/><br/>even the sofa's are teared<br/><br/>hopeless and cheap WASHROOM<br/><br/>but hookah is fabulous<br/><br/>service is quite slow<br/><br/>but the crowd is always good

best place for school kids with lesser money.Service i awful as well aa food. One and only good thing is hukka which is basically cheap.Not a good place for a date.<br/>

One of the first place opened in kanpur for hucka lovers. The food here is average both in taste and price but what will irritate you the most are the waitors. Till the time u are having ur dinner or lunch they don't bother but as soon as u will finish they will start following ur orders and will finally ask u for heavy tips. Located on the main arya nagar chauraha this place is very easy to reach but u may find difficulty in parking your vehicles. The interiors are also ok types. Can give a try once. Thanx<br/>

My first experience to this place was not so good. The only thing I liked was the food. Other than that not a place I would suggest anyone to go. The ambience and the staff is not good at all. The staff wont let you even decide the food you want to order as they would be standing on your head all the time.

Reasonable lounge...good food and hukka..interiors were good when it was newly opened but now it is average..you can opt for singapore noodles and in hukka brain freezer...nothing much to say...it should be improved

One of the best place for hucka lovers located in Arya nagar. Quality of hucka is awesome.Food is also great specially honey chilly potata,chicken lollipop,spring roll.Service of staff members is decent.Ambience is attractive.Sports screening available.A must visit place for hucka lovers.

This place serves the best honey chilly potato and as the name goes hukka also. Pocket friendly and affordable. This place is one place to sit and relax but now a bit overcrowded at times but service and food served is nice over all.

Not a place that i would suggest to anyone. the ambiance will spoil your mood and the ignorant staff will add on to that effect. The food is below average. This place is a waste of of money for anyone. i would seriously recommend the owners to either shut it or improve.

Overrated place .... bunch of school kids and coaching students visit here regularly. . Food quality is average.. you may like this place at first glance .. but it's ok to visit if u are in group with some crazy people.. and wanna have some hukka shukka nd mutton tikka.... with some butter naan...

Never loved this place that much but the food and hucka will not disappoint you. Not atleast in the way the waiters will... They don't know what's going around and are certainly not interested in doing there job. In simple words an average place

The food and hucka quality is good but the service persons are annoying we ordered 1 portion of spring rolls and they served us 2.. and were charged for that 😣<br/>Hakka noodles is a must try 😍<br/>

Went to Hucka this Sunday afternoon.....First I'l start with the ambience....very creepy interiors especially those lights on the floor and doesn't have a soothing effect on eyes. Besides few tables are also broken down which was a big time turn off<br/>Food was very average....I ate Paneer Makhani (average) and Aaloo Jeera (below average) though breads were good<br/>Sheesha was just okay

Located in Swaroop Nagar, this one is a nice place to hang out with friends..it has a good ambience..wide variety of hookah..food is good, we tried chinese as well as tandoor dishes but the price is a little expensive

A place where you won't likely go with your family and cousins or even friends at times. The food may be good the hookah may be good. The prices may be good. But the crowd and the service spoils the fun. Thumbs not up.

Not at all a good place in terms of ambience and hospitality...i would rather call it cheap enough to go with your family or with decent friends... i repeat decent friends... You will see that the place is filled with young couples and college and school students who really don't know how to behave in restaurant seriously this place does not deserve to be called a restaurant ... As soon as we entered the restaurant we saw the ambiance was all full of multi colour LED lighting of red yellow pink and blue just imagine how weird it would have been looking....<br/><br/>Secondly we were 2 people so we demanded for tables of 2.... but one of the chair of our table did not have one arm .... it was broken..... we asked the waiter about this he said" ye kal hi tooti h sir".....gosh ...!! Agar ye kal hi tooti thi so why didn't u people change it till now....leaving it we sat somewhere else where the sofa was Torned.... i have seriously uploaded the pic of it ... leave sofas.... they dont even have their own trade tissues..... i mean they use the printed tissues of highway restaurant...<br/><br/>Coming to the food we ordered spring rolls and three pepper potato..... 3 pepper potato actually lack containing all 3 papers.... It was tasting good just because it was Honey glazed.... Nothing too special about it..... Spring rolls were too flat in taste.... filling lacking in seasoning... not accompanied by any dip.... we were given ketchup along with that...<br/><br/> service slow dull and pathetic...... waiters do not listen once.... they will keep on ignoring u till u get irritated... i will never go here in future.<br/><br/><br/>

Hucka restaurant is good for birthday parties, love couples and Hucka lovers also. They have large variety of flavors of Hucka. the ambiance of restaurant is traditional. Happy Eating !! :)

The name speaks what the place is all about<br/>Hucka is located in one of the most busiest place in kanpur i.e swarup nagar<br/>Food is ok 2.5/5<br/>Ambience is not good 1.5/5<br/>Service is little slow 2.5/5<br/>This place is crowded due to rise in popularity of hucka <br/><br/>Visit if want to sip hucka at cheap price than other nearby options

The ambience is really good and plus their servicing is top class. Food is kind off above average and slightly expensive. And off course they have their infinite flavours to choose for hucka. Nice place for a date or a family dinner or even for small birthday celebrations. ;)

An average place getting high rating because of lack of options in the city. The place is filled with young crowd and the service is slow and cold. Food is average and ambience is okayish. My advice: Can be visited once beacause of the hype otherwise just an OK place.

It is bad.. The ambience is bad.. Too bright.. The food is not good.. The service is very slow.. The staff is rude.. The hukka is also not very good.. I am definitely not going back there..

I visit here with friends very often.<br/>Everytime it gives a pleasure mainly the ambience is so damn perfect to hangout with friends.<br/>Love the food very much.

Our go-to restaurants for the treats. Palatable food (love the chicken items). Hucka served is nice. Nice ambience. Overall, a good one to hangout with ur friends.

One of the few places which belong to youngsters. Coming to the food, a bit pricey as compared to the taste and quality. The ambience is good n hippy types.

A good place to eat and have hucka. Affordable, tasty food. Ambience is good though it feels a teensy bit less maintained. It is a branch of the restaurant highway at IIT I believe since they both have the same tissue papers 😂. Go with your college friends, girlfriend, family (depends on how they are, atleast I can go with my parents). All in all a good place to dine in.

It is not necessary to enjoy the food only, a place also has a taste of it and this is the place, a different ambience definitely likeable.<br/><br/>Get in there if you need a different sitting style and want to hangout with friends. The food is also good<br/><br/>Not a place to go with family<br/><br/>Thanks. Keep watching the reviews

This place is a favourite for all hucka lovers. They've a huge variety of huckas at an extremely pocket friendly price. Adding to it the food is great too! It hasn't disappointed me ever. Love being there!

it's a good hangout spot for friends. Staff is decent. Ambience is nice. Food is tasty but the menu lacks choice. If there is something I would like to change, it would be the menu. This place could be better if they introduce some variety.Otherwise, a nice place. This place would not empty your wallets.

This place is best for hangouts with college friends. The food & ambience are good and of course TheHucka. Ordered noodles, chicken chili & for hucka it's "Mint" & "Apple". It is usually crowded in the evening but after waiting for some time u can get a table. Staff is good. It's pocket friendly also.

Awesome place for college students. Food is good and as the name suggests, they serve hucka too. Value for money, and best for mid-range treats.

<br/><br/>It is just sad that there is so much scarcity of good places in Kanpur that people are rating this place good. Not for a single moment I liked this place. I usually ignore the other factors than food. But they are so bad that I need to write about every other thing as well.<br/><br/>Reasons? Bad seating. Really bad and uncomfortable. Cold response from the staff. Taste was not in accordance with price. And the biggest flaw I felt was the ambience. There are always young school kids hanging around and playing with that hucka. Lights are awful. Bad choice of music. And I have always found plates dirty. I repeat, Always. <br/><br/>You just simply cannot expect a decent ambience here. Those school kids and group of boys are staring the females in your group. It is just too disturbing. <br/><br/>And coming to the food. We ordered a few things. Hot chilli garlic noodles.(Not hot enough)<br/> Manchurian. (below average)<br/>Chicken fried rice(nothing great about it well not when I am paying this amount) <br/>Thai chicken. <br/>Paneer Tikka(Good) <br/><br/>Service was pretty slow. Prices very pretty high. Place was pretty cheap. So its a complete no.

Not best but also not the worst .. food prices are value for money .. staff is a kind ignorance type , mostly they are busy talking to themselves & giving good service to heavy parties who would give them good amount of tip..<br/>Talking about the Hucka , in spcl only two are mines most favourite - smoking mojito & blue lagoon ..Some seatings needs renovation as well .. but yeah a lot has been degraded since a past few months ..

Best place for hangout with friends / couples.. Every time I went there, was satisfied with food quality, quantity, price, ambience . Price is cheap as compared to others as u get a perfect environment full of ambience.... Waiting time mostly for hucka takes longer (15-20mins) <br/>Only the thing I hate is that waiters demand for tip whereas when I went dhuaan or waterside,. They didn't.. They should understand that visitors would themselves keep tip when they are satisfied with the service.

If you want to get good mughalai food especially preparations of mutton and also chicken this is the place. Service might be a little slow and the ambience full of chemical hukka fumes but still worth a visit for the food.

The food is fine. Basically people visit the place for hucka as the name itself calls for it. But I was extremely disappointed by the service time. I would never want to go back to such a place with hours of waiting time for 1 simple dish.

Nice ambience...perfect for hangout wid frnds. Fish tikka among Starters is delicious..malai chicken was a bit of disappointment. Quantity they serve is good. Mutton dishes are very nice and worth orderin. Non veg platter..crispy veg all are good. Chicken do pyaza is fab..service is bit poor, while u keep ringing that small bell on table. Casablanca flavor of hucka made d mood relaxing..overall highly recommend.

As per the name suggests.. Went with frnds fr a hucka.. "Nirvana" flavour was good... But "Brain Freezer" wasn't up to the mark.. The starters were tasty and the quantity was satisfactory.. Chilli Chicken and Honey Chilli Potato were good, whereas "Hara-bhara Kebab" disappointed me.. Overall experience was good..

Whenever I visit Kanpur I make sure I go here. The place is great with delicious food, refreshing drinks and of course the hucka. It's still my favorite spot to hangout with my friends and moreover it's pocket friendly. :)

One of the best eating hubs in Kanpur.<br/>It becomes more special for IITK students when they get a discount of 20%.<br/>The menu is good. One should surely try Chilly Potato here.<br/>However,in past 3 years, the average bill has gone up by atleast 20%

a place for all the outings with fellow IITK guys.. awesome place to be......<br/>good junta, great food, affordable price<br/><br/>staff is cordial and menu is vivid

Service is of very poor quality. Customer satisfaction is not what they aim at . Prices are way to high keeping the service in mind , not a value for money.

Good ambience.Polite staff.Delicious food.Menu includes a variety of Veg and Non Veg platters.Sheesha makes upto a +1 in the review.Good Place to hang out.

Go there for the Hucka :P rest, food is allrightish and ambience could be done with better! Music gets loud tough.. It has lost it's craze to verandah and dhuan

The most preferred place..!! The interior is perfect, the staff is friendly, the food is yummilicious and the place isn't so expensive..!! A perfect place to hang out!! Love it..no matter how many times you go!

nice food and staff....,,,,,,,,,,,good interiors..<br/>went with friends!! :) .....,,. overall a good experience

Amazing ambience and awesome food.. With various hukkah or sheesha as they call it, at just ₹300.. Nice and prompt service. Good food at good price.

Food is ok.<br/>Hukka is expensive compared to quality<br/>Service is the feature that lacks behind.<br/>Attitude of staff is not friendly<br/>A place that may suit to people not been to equivalent places in metro cities like mumbai delhi etc, and are looking for a terrace restaurant .

This is one of the best retsros that i have been since getting into IITK......I love the ambience and food both. But the way into the restro is a bit weird.

This is one of my favorite places to hang out with friends.. Food is 9/10 hucka 8/10 ambience 8/10.. Staff is friendly.. Still want the place to get more better..

The favourite hangout spot for IITK students. It is one of the worst lit restaurants you'll ever go to. But after the renovation it's got a tad more comfortable. Food is good and they offer a variety of North Indian dishes. But the restaurant is short on staff which can be observed easily!

A typical huccka parlor with all sorts of ppl<br/>food-8/10<br/>ambiance-7/10<br/>service-10/10<br/>quantity-9/10<br/>price-8/10<br/>a place to hangout with friends only!

I will be straight here.<br/><br/>1.Ambience is quite good and the place is quite spacious as well. The servers are very friendly and you will notice that if you visit quite often they immediately notice you. The lightning is low and perfect. The seats are for both groups as well as couples. Oh , and there is live telecast of ICC world cup these days on big screen so it is good if you go there nowadays.<br/><br/>2.Food is not very good but better than many places. The soups are good and apart from that,chicken items are quite good. Desserts,especially the chocolate icecream is amazing.<br/><br/>3.Obviously,huckas come in various flavours and the best ones are brain freezer and pan masala. Order masal cold drink with it and you can chill for hours.<br/><br/>This is a place of you are looking for some good time with your better half, or with school or college friends. It is not exactly a family spot as mostly students and teenagers throng the place. From the point of price,the menu is quite cheap and best part is endless fun time spent with your friends. I spent six hours with my old school budies and it was amazing.

This has been one of my favorite places to enjoy some great treats.<br/>Located on roof-top, provide perfect view of the city with a great ambiance. The most distinctive set-up of their's has small stones laid on the floor, instead of a flat concrete, which in addition to lightning uses provide a great ambiance. <br/><br/>Just one grudge, they don't serve alcohol :(<br/><br/>Otherwise the food is awesome and so it the service.<br/><br/>Ahh... Just forgot to mention their flavored HUKKAS :)

Most casual of all .. Happening place to relax wid friends...food is gud but your chilly paneer is poor!! Ambience is improving .. Neither too pricey nor cheap

The place used to be good but now its not like before since the internals have changed. Food is average. People should avoid to go with families

Nice restaurant but not the best one for family. You can enjoy different flavor of Hucka which is quite demanding element of this restaurant apart from food and snacks :)

The food is okay. This is the best place to have cheap and awesome shesha. This place is best for shesha only. This place is also good place to hangout with friends.

Well, it was my first visit to Hucka, and I must say that the experience was out of this world.<br/><br/>Food: 4/5 (strictly Non-vegetarian). <br/> When at Hucka, you should definitely have Hucka Special Dumpling Chicken Soup (F-100, H-75) on your 'must-try' list. The Hot & Sour soup was nothing extraordinary. But the rice items were excellent, both in quality and quantity. We had the Chilli Chicken in Garlic Fried Rice (275) and the Chicken Biriyani (210). What also felt top-notch was Chicken in Szechwan Sauce (275), containing plenty of small pieces of chicken.<br/><br/>Ambience: 5/5. <br/> Damn good; the best really, when it comes to Kanpur, no questions about it. I've not been to all of them but I certainly haven't seen any better than this.<br/><br/>Service: 4.5/5. <br/> The staff were courteous and obliging in every aspect. It has been an outstanding experience.<br/><br/> I did not try the Hookahs so I can't comment on them. But seriously, if you are in Kanpur and haven't been there already, please try the place once. Trust me, you'll get hooked.<br/><br/>N.B.: If you are a student of IIT Kanpur, it's your lucky day. Incidentally, IIT students receive a mind-blowing 20% discount on producing their ID Cards here.

Nice place with dim lighting, nice hukka but definitely need to work with their starters menu and train their staff... Over all good place to visit with friends ????

Awesome place to hangout, great food. Ambience is also good, hucka like brain feezer is one of good flavour, must try. If talk about service, that can be disappoint u little bit, except that every thing is very well manner,

One of the first places in kanpur to have hukka lounge ......food is good be it their starters or their main course would have been better if they also had open area for hukkas... Great place

Its a cool place to hangout with family n frnz..economical..gud hukka..d only drawback..dey dnt serve alcohol..else its gud..nic place to watch match n enjy

Hucka the first one in kanpur as a hucka lounge... Gives a variety of hucha's nd food is good here too br the interior of this restaurant is better than ny other things...<br/>

You are looking for place and confused where to go.... this is the jackpot.... a perfect place to hangout with your gang.... food is good, service average and seating if most comfortable.... place is not heavy on your pocket and you can express yourself under dim lights and high music.... A best compromise of every thing....

Good place to hangout with friends, Chinese options are good. Some of the starters are really good.<br/>But its more all about the ambience and roof top open restaurant feel with cool evening breeze ,concept of small pebbles n marbles on the floor gives a uniqueness to it.

Hucka is like best place in Kanpur ...! I luv to spend time in hucka ...! Best and comfortable place to chill out :)<br/>Hucka ! Just check it out !

Almost like a second canteen or a refined cafeteria for everyone in Cawnpore campus. The most happening place in town without any shred of doubt. Relaxed and breezy setting, very good quality food and not bad service at all. Make sure you ask for student and corporate discount in the end, and let that off as tip.

One of the most happening restaurant in the city I must say at least by the IITKians during our college days. The food is decent, by decent I mean the best you can get for that price in Kanpur. A good variety of hukka flavours adds to the variety of good food it has. Afghani chicken and Kashmere naan are my most favourite out there.

Want to go for food as well as hucka, this the best place in kanpur. Being a rooftop restaurant and large screen to watch match during ipl or football league, no place can beat this place in awesomeness.

For a student in Kanpur...this is an awesome place to visit...For Hukkah...i didnt find any better place. Butter chicken and the stuffed nan are one of the best I have ever had. In an average expenditure, one can easily enjoy the food...they dont serve hard drinks which may be a negative point.

The place is average..earlier it was good though.. A place to hang out and have some dhuaan to intake..<br/>It was the first of its kind in kanpur ...brought hookah culture in kanpur but now better options are available .. one is terrazza9 in rave 3. Don't miss out

I'm not a big fan of this place NOW. Their food is good - be it their snacks or their main course. The service is average. The main feature of this restaurant 'Hucka' - also average. This place was a buzz in town because it brought in the 'Hucka' culture and their decor was also pretty unique. Their prices are reasonable - which makes it a student favourite place. It was great once but now, it seems that the restaurant has decayed. It is indeed a spacious restaurant, but it needs to organize its seating arrangement. Also on my last visit (which was in summers), their glass windows heated up the place and their air conditioners were not working. This roof top restaurant needs to pull itself by their bootstraps.

The place has been a hit among us IIT Kanpur students. It offers amazing north indian food both vegetarian and non vegetarian. You can always find groups of students of IIT here especially on weekends. Hukkas are generally good and not pricey. My favorites are Rara chicken, Mutton rogan josh, Dal makhani.

Nice memories of the place. Ambiance and hukka sizes keep changing frequently, but the quality of food, hospitality and of course the sheesha has always been the same. Must try in food items would be 3 pepper potato, chicken lollypop and pineapple raita. One thing that I didn't like was the waiters asking for more tips. Kanpur being a hub of so many college students, I don't think its justified.
