Review The Mughal's Dastarkhwan - Lucknow

Dr. Soumen Maity
A royal treat to Awadh cuisine! The biriyani rice was absolutely fabulous including the galawati kabab
Tiksha Sandilya
Good food. Clean & hygienic. Service was good but has room for improvement. Good for family gathering. Special chicken masala is a must try! (Skip their nalli nihari though)

Big fan of dastarkhwan since 2000, there were only two branches one behind Tulsi theatre and another one near Manoj pandey chauraha , I used to go at gomtinagar branch , it's underrated kind of restaurant like no one talk about it when comes lucknow , if you want to eat real mughlai Paratha that ll melt in your mouth then go dastarkhwan gomti nagar , if you want to taste something good in kebabs go and eat galawati kebab of dastarkhwan , they made best biryani go and eat u ll never regret , signature dish is chiken masala , crushed chiken with some masala and cooked on tawa , they serve top notch quality so go there , at Tulsi theatre branch you ve to wait for seat if you go on weekends but it's worth to wait , they are serving good food from many years but people only talk about tundey aminabad who serve kachha Paratha but no body complain , anyways I highly recommend this place for real mughlai taste . Go for it

Finally we had the chance to eat at this place .. the feel of the place is its USP. Your sense will be filled with aromatic fragrance. Little disappointed with biryani but in totality the experience was really very nice ... Note :-they don't except card payment

Destination for Authentic non veg and veg awadhi food. Good food, value for money, courteous staff and service

saurabh yadav
Loved this place. The atmosphere is calm here. People of any age group can enjoy it here. Besides, the food is delicious 🤤 We tried Butter Chicken, tandoori chicken, and Mughlai paratha. Everything was on point. Plus all this was affordable.

The awadh's Dastarkhwan , Lucknow Good place to enjoy 😊 Awadh food delicacy. Must try Mutton Golauti kabab with paratha, shahi tukra. Biryani is average , very average compare to kolkata biryani taste. You can go to this place if you are fond of non veg food dishes. Overall you can try once this restaurant
Pushkar Protik Goswami
We went for family lunch here on Sunday. Shop opens around 1pm. We ordered: Mughlai Paratha, chicken masala, paneer mughlai, Garlic naan, Laccha Paratha, Galawati kabab and Shahi tukda 1) 1st lot of rotis (Naan, Laccha Paratha) were not cooked fully and partly raw. We had to tell the waiter to cook the rotis properly after which subsequent lot was fine 2) Paneer Mughlai, Chicken masala were very good and definitely worth trying. Galawati kabab was fair in taste. 3) Shahi tukda was bad and stale. 4) Ample parking space

We are visiting n8 for dining purposes this time it is fully packed There is no sheeting available here but after waiting 10mins we are sitting at the dining table. In this place the waiters behaviours are so good and suggest the most famous item and quantity of the foods are shearing what numbers of people, they have a very good suggestion. After ordering food we waited 15 minutes at the table then the foods were available. In this place the food quality is very good, you are eating one time here you are reminded of the food test.

Person sitting on main counter needs to respect individual's choice. I asked if Non Veg is Halal or not, he said Hala but also gave me unnecessary gyan which was not required... We got place easily though it was crowded. Very nice food and place. We had Lunch n tried Mutton Bhuna, Paratha and Biryani. Partaha's could have been better as it was a bit oily n due to Maida not aata I didn't like... Waiter kept on pushing me for tip... should have avoided as I was embarassed like anything!! Hence I didn't tip
Vartika Kushwaha
Everything was good here. The fame is all in name. Can make it much more better. There was a huge crowd there. We had to wait in a queue.
Amit Singh
One of the best place for typical mugal cuisine and they have best biriyani in town very light taste and good flavour and you can also try malai tikka here and I love the kebab also I think one of the best place for nonveg in lucknow. Must try is “mutton biryani “
Shivam Singh
We were advised to try out Mughal's Dastarkhwan over Tunde Kebabi. We are glad we did. The restaurant had a large waiting time, which indicated to us that it was, indeed, popular.<br/><br/>They have a proper waiting area outside, where the smell of the tandoori dishes wafts in, & gives a boost to your appetite. Finally, when we were seated inside, we had Dhaniya Roti, Galawat Kebab, Mutton Rogan Josh, Plain Rice, Shahi Tukda, & Ulte Tawe Ka Paratha.<br/><br/>The Dhaniya Roti (chapati with coriander filling) was a first for us. The Galwat Kebab was, truly, melt-in-the-mouth. The service was quick. It is a family-friendly place. We cannot wait to go back
Vishnu Bhure
Chicken masala and MUGHALAI paratha are a must....😊 If you happen to be at Lucknow, you just cannot miss dastarkhwan. Galawati kebab, chicken kalimrich, butter chicken are my other pics
Lucknowi_zaykaa
It is one of my favorite place which serves authentic mughlai and awadhi cuisines at the nominal prices. The food is really really very yummy so I recommend you all if you are a non veg lover and wanna eat some mughlai cuisines. Hop in to this place once and I guarantee you will not regret. The ambience of this place is up to the mark as this is mughlai theme based.The service was very good. So overall experience was very nice.
Radhika Mukerjee
We ordered mutton boti kabab ( something that used to be very good ) but sadly it is pathetic ... they mix kidneys etc with mutton which they never did earlier... a total no no for me !
Naman
Its ok but should have more varieties for the vegetarians as whenever i went here was only due to a party but as you all know the biggest problem here is that the variety is very less for the vegetarians so will suggest them to add more options for vegetarians
Shashank Shekhar Singh
Amazing food delicious presentation all time favourite for lucknowites, really quick service great staff delicious food for any on visiting lucknow Dastarkhwan is a must try with no of branches in every area, keep up the spirit guys😎
Tipu Sultan Of Food
After going through numerous   Lucknowi dastarkhawn  , finally  found the elusive awadhi taste as this gem of a place. The food is just great and hope it remains the same.. we ordered  murg lahori, keema kaleji, chicken istew and murg biryani and all were well made. The istew and keema kaleji were especially great. Shahi Tukda was also awesome. The portions were just right. They have a small seating so be prepared to wait
Desiduniyafoodtalk
Being a Lucknowite I know how amazing Mughlai food is available in Lucknow. Be it veg kebabs to galawati kebabs, biryani to Mutton.. everything is absolute delicious and famous world wide.<br/>I have been to Dastarkhwan other outlets but Gomti Nagar visit was the first time. It is a huge space and quite fancy. I guess the first restaurant of this chain with Luxurious interiors. <br/>Coming to food, We ordered Mutton, chicken and kebabs, biryani and roomali roti for dinner.<br/>As usual we loved the food but yes this particular restaurant didn’t match up with their other own outlets.<br/>I had better food than this one.
Ashish Tiwari
A strongly Recommend Restaurant for the non veg Lovers. Chicken masala and chicken Kali Mirch is a very famous dish here . Go in night times when you are in mood for eating heavy . Best place in Gomti Nagar for non veg so far . Way more to go :) love Ashish
Sania Anwar
Mouth watering food and the butter chicken was too tasty. The kabab and paratha were also good and the mutton biryani was tasty though.<br/>Will visit soon.
Apeksha Singh
My always first and the best choice for mughlai food in Lucknow......the biryani is to die for, it's heaven.<br/>The prices charged are reasonable according to the taste and quantity served.
Mayank Nitya
A one stop destination for all of City's Nawabs for Mughali food.<br/>Chicken masala and biryani of this place provide one of the best experience.<br/>With restoration and all new ambiance its totally a new place.<br/>The staff here is very polity and provides you with a pleasant experience.<br/>If you are a non veg lover you must visit this place.<br/>
Rekha R
Very good experience, mouth melting kababs, wow biriyani, korma out of the world. Eat anything and no complaints. Only the service is very slow. But overall a great experience
Petu Singh

Really yummy.....Must try
My Aromatic Life
The most favourite and go to place for Mughlai cuisine. With large seating area and decent ambiance, this place can be called as the heart of food lovers and especially for those who love Mughlai Cuisine.<br/>Chicken Masala and Mughlai Paratha, Chicken kali mirch, Chicken Barra, Chicken Afghani, Mutton galawat kebabs, Mutton Biryani, Tandoori Chicken, and many more, everything is just awesome.<br/>.<br/>Taste-4.5/5<br/>Ambiance-4/5<br/>Service-4.5/5<br/>Price-4/5
Clopas Rodrigues
Another awesome food joint for Nawabi food. The mitron biriyani is really tasty here, while the shahi tukda also deserves a sampling. Go early and have an empty stomach to fill up!
AISHA | Bellus-N-Style
What a lovely place to hang out with your friends the food is amazing and the prices are alsogrt!! You are getting authentic mughlai food at such a good price we really had a great time here if in lucknow you should definitely give it a try
Ashoka
Ordered Kali Mirch Chicken, kababs, biryani (both mutton and chicken) and roomali roti from here. Food tastes awesome. I especially like the kababs since they (i) aren't too spicy unlike 99% other famous kabab places and (ii) there wasn't any 'heek(हीक)' which is usually the problem with most other kabab places. Kali mirch chicken and biryanis were good too. I'll recommended this place for anyone who wants to taste authentic Lucknowi nonveg food !
Aishwarya
Best place to visit... Awesome biryani... The must try items are :chicken masala, kebab, biryani and roasted chicken.... Great ambiance... The waiters are generous.. And they serve you in less than ten minutes..... Keep up the good work!!!!
Amit Singh
<br/>This rating is not for food quality, Food is obviously great, but they do not give option of paying by debit/ credit card. They provide one or other excuse for cash payment which is shame.<br/><br/>
Saloni Singh
Finally after waiting for so many months I went to this renowned restaurant. And the truth is that it was worth the wait. We ordered the very famous chicken masala, mutton stew, galawati kebabs, mutton biryani and rumali roti. The food was worth every penny spent. Overall, it was a very nice experience being there.
Anurag Puri
Food was nice and tasty... Pocket friendly restaurant..<br/>Must try.. though a bit crowded on weekends.. must try chicken butter masala and tandoori chicken.
Creato Katie
Spacious and a cool ambienCe<br/>Had a family get together<br/>Services up to the mark .<br/>Food is plain and not very spicy as expected.<br/>Can go once for a taste if you are a simple food lover
Divya Singh
I ordered chicken masala half with 4 paratha ,where as I received only quarter chicken masala with 2 paratha , so it's zomato fault not the restaurant's ,food was super delicious as it is always from dastarkhwan<br/>
Pranava S
Very bad experience .I can say about food quality वाहियात । feeling cheated . I think in lucknow if anybody want to eat non veg , plz prefer kalika restaurant .
Priya Singh
The staff is very prompt and polite. I tried the roll and afghani chicken with fish tikka and the food was really good. Good place to be at.
Vijay Verma
I was not satisfied with the delivered food.<br/>
Deepshi Chandra
biryani was served plain there was no raita or gravy n chutney🙁
Mohit Hoskote
Gem of a place. Must visit if u ever go to Lucknow. Much much more than that overhyped piece of (oh sorry I can’t cuss here) Tunday Kababi..... <br/><br/>This place is a very good family restaurant. Very old world lucknowi interiors. Sweet stewards. And amazing food. 5 stars just for the chicken kalimirch I say...... oily but so selfish!! <br/><br/>The Biriyani and the rogan josh were decent too but the kalimirch is a must have...
WanderlustGluttony
GALAWAT KABAB<br/>BOTI KABAB<br/>ROOMALI ROTI<br/>MUGHLAI PARATHA<br/>MUTTON ROGAN JOSH<br/>MUTTON BIRYANI<br/>SHAHI TUKRA<br/><br/>I am a fan of good Galawati kababs and parathas. And this was a delicacy. Since I had these kababs in lunch at Tunday Kababi in Aminabad, I couldn't not compare and the ones in Dastarkhwan could be smoother and softer.<br/>The Boti Kabab was in gravy. Tried it for the first time.<br/>Mutton Rogan Josh was served in an orange gravy with soft mutton pieces. Biryani was as usual, good.<br/><br/>Shahi tukra was a good ending to our meal.<br/><br/>Food - 4/5<br/>Ambience - 4.5/5<br/>Service - 4/5<br/>Seating & Decor - 4.5/5
Shobhit Srivastava
Dastarkhwan used to be my one of the favorite non vegetarian point but from last few days the chiken masala is not up to the mark. May be they have hired a new chef or something of that sort. Guys please improve
Mehul Jagwani
delivery was well in time delvry guy too was supportv and polite. now move towards food.😂<br/>.<br/>ordered chicken masala as always it was awesome but it was litte more dry as usual which was point of dissatisfaction but while ordrng u can spcly mention about it...
Nishant Bhardwaj
Biryani was not good
Pooja Jaiswal
best time management 👍
S_suppi
If u really love authentic mugalai cusine then this place must be on ur go to list ... friendly and supportive staff ..Best ppace to eat non veg food with family amd frnds in locality at a very reasonable price
Sankalp Sahu
This place is a must visit for all the non-vegetarians. Serves the best galawat and boti kebab in whole Lucknow. Do try mutton biryani and masala chicken.
Karan Lalwani
Being a Lucknow guy,i am quite used to having biryani of different places.<br/>And dastarkhwan is one of the oldest and largest mughlai cuisines food giant.<br/>This place offers one of the finest "Mutton Dum Biryani" in the town.<br/>The quality and quantity are both remarkable and its price is quite reasonable as well.<br/>The only issue i have is that it quite often forgets to deliver raita along with Biryani for home delivery.<br/>Other than that it is spot on in satisfying its customers and maintaining its brand value.
Gautam Siddharth
Any day, anytime. Lucknow is all known about it food and that aromatic flavour of food you don't find anywhere else in India. Even awadhi kebabs and biryani is something to keep digging for. And dastarkhwan is serving you the best mughlai and awadhi food you have ever tasted. Any day any time, reach out at dastarkhwan and you will never complain about taste. It's same as per last time you had. It gets better and better every time..
Rabab Zaidi
Had a celebration dinner today. Afghan Chicken, Chilly Chicken and Fried Fish for starters. Butter Chicken, Masala Chicken and Boti Kabab with a variety of nans for the main course. Every thing was just delicious. Especially Butter Chicken<br/>which was AMAZING. The Shahi Tukras were delectable too.
Mohan Prashanth
Really good food - the mughlai paratha, the galawati kebab and the mutton korma. But absolute disregard for customer service. They don't have half the things listed on the menu, the waiters are indifferent and the management more so. We felt this was because we had gone in during rush time. But it was the case even when we went in the afternoon, with not many inside. And to top it off, they don't even have a PoS machine. I mean, I understand if it is a small restaurant. But they sell their dishes at a premium, yet this condition.
Anshumaan Pall Mahson
I had recently gone to The Dastarkhwan. I had ordered chicken masala with mughali Parantha. As usual, the chicken masala was one of the best you get in Lucknow and the Parantha was nice and crisp. The galawat kabab was fine. The chicken Biriyani was not upto the mark. And it also had the tiniest chicken leg I have ever seen.
Chainsawed Blaster
The service was not really good and hopeless food quality. The service was slow . The manager paid no attention . Finally, I paid and walked off.
Sugandha Arora
Not as good as the other outlets of Dastarkhwan.Have been to hussainganj and Hazratganj outlets as well.Would rate Hazratganj one at the top then comes the hussainganj one and the last one would be gomtinagar in terms of food taste.Talking about dining hussainganj is fine dine then comes gomtinagar outlet.Had high expectations.Cost wise it almost the same everywhere.
Abhishek Karol
where is rest of the food<br/>
Hafsha Saiyed
Excellent authentic mughlai food.. signature recipe chicken masala is awesome.. ambience is good and cooking time is minimal..
Stuti Bala
I ordered mutton estew but some other mutton curry was delivered. Really disappointing! I was not expecting such a thing from such a known restaurant.
Sameer Khan
It is a fully air conditioned restaurant with comfortable seating and some pretty wall hangings of Lucknow’s a architecture. The service is quick and the staff is polite. They serve the best chicken masala in Lucknow. If you happen to be there,do give it a try and the mutton biryani was okayish in taste but the quantity is good. It’s a good restaurant to visit with family and friends.
Abira
I recently visited Lucknow and instead of eating hotel food at night wanted to order galouti kebabs. Given this was close to my hotel, I thought of trying it out. I ordered a full plate of kebabs and rumali roti. I liked the fact that they had a half and full plate option that give people the choice to try out more items from the menu. <br/>The kebabs were good and the right amount of spice. However could have been a bit softer.
Amitto Karim
Nothing available from Menu. The waiter doesn't know what all items are available. Very bad experience. Service speed was good. The only good thing
Faiz
excellent taste
Deeksha Singh
bad
Faisal Khan
good<br/>
Ankur Mishra
Chicken was too much boiled
Anupam Chatterjee
Food was delicious as always....benchmark for quality food dastarkhwan.... kebabs are love.<br/>Maybe could do with providing chutney with biryani and kebab.<br/>Rest everything is perfect.
Mohammad Farzan
it delivered before time awesome
Harish Kumar
just good.
Shabbir Hasan Khan
The food was hopeless, needs to be improved, absolutely tasteless. On previous occasions it was good so I was prompted to order. But today I am disappointed.
The Hungry Indian Soul
My childhood delight. it has the same authentic taste since it was open. which shows a sign of a world famous delicacy. Chicken masala. service is quick and prompt.<br/>my suggestions Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Masala, butter Chicken, Seekh and galawat kabab and firnee.<br/>love the flavours in the biryani.
Kashif Habibi
exilent vege biryani nd nonvege
Ravish Srivastava
delicious food
Rmnaveen Redmi4A
no gravy send with biryani
Mona
The best biryani I have ever had. And since it’s my favourite food it means a lot. Full of flavor... succulent mutton pieces. Hardly any grease. Superb quality of basmati rice used. Each grain was cooked to perfection.... flaky and light. Can’t wait to eat this again tomorrow.
Arshi Champ
If you want to have chicken tikka from here , dont order because tunday kababi has far better taste whereas Mughal has no expertise in chicken tikka . Taste is really bad and stinks .
Krishan Mohan
gud<br/>
Shishir Srivastava
galawati kababs can be made better...rest is pure mughal taste...total lakhnavi
Bharti Srivastava
