Aminabad
अमीनाबाद
A long-established mass market with clothing, Chikankari embroidery, jewelry, and snacks, where prices are lower than in Hazratganj.
Aminabad is a commercial district that took shape during the Nawabi period in the 19th century. Today it is Lucknow's busiest popular shopping area. Its lanes are packed with clothing shops, Chikankari embroidery, wedding ornaments, bangles, and spice stalls. Prices are affordable, and bargaining is expected. It is also a food lover's destination: the Aminabad branch of Tunday Kababi, Prakash's kulfi ice cream, and long-established milk tea and baked bread shops are all here. Crowds and traffic are extremely dense, so walk and keep your belongings secure. Some shops close on Thursdays.
Opening hours
Approx. 11:00 AM–10:00 PM (some shops closed on Thursdays)
