Royal Cafe (Hazratganj)
रॉयल कैफ़े
A popular snack spot in Hazratganj, famous for basket chaat served in fried potato baskets.
Located on Shahnajaf Road in Hazratganj, opposite the Sahara Ganj mall, Royal Cafe is known for basket chaat: fried potato straws woven into small baskets and filled with yogurt, beans, tangy sauces and pomegranate seeds, one of Lucknow's most famous ways to eat chaat. The menu also includes yogurt-soaked dumplings, pani puri, kebabs, biryani and sheermal, a sweet flatbread. It is vegetarian-friendly, and evenings can be crowded, so expect a short wait. Expect about ₹200–500 per person.
