The Awadhi kitchen — melt-in-mouth kebabs, biryanis and Nawabi legacy.

This city trail brings together neighbourhoods, dishes and named stops from the original editorial collection. Treat it as a starting list for planning, rather than an ordered walking route: several stops are far apart and may require transport.

Start with one neighbourhood and two or three dishes instead of trying to visit every stop. Ask about ingredients, spice levels, vegetarian preparation and allergens before ordering; recipes and serving styles differ between kitchens.

Dishes to explore

Planning a safe food visit

Check the route and current opening times before leaving. Map search results may include similarly named businesses or different branches. No opening-time or payment-method claim is made here.

Choose freshly prepared food and safe drinking water. Do not assume that a busy or historic restaurant has independently verified hygiene. Tell the kitchen about food allergies; a vegetarian label alone does not establish allergen safety.

Markets may be crowded, uneven or difficult for wheelchair users. Ask about step-free access, seating and toilets directly. Festival and seasonal dishes may not be available on the day you visit.
