I have lived most of my life in Delhi and Lucknow, and have eaten my share of amazing kebabs, tandooris and mughlai food; and despite that the Chicken Chooza at Hashmi's was not only gloriously, unexpectedly delectable; but was comparable to the best anywhere.

Superb food but not your usual tourist attraction. The restaurant is always full of locals which is always a good sign. The food is excellent, the best kebabs and tandoori you will get. No alcohol is served. Well worth a visit for lunch. More
