Today visit the old lanes of lucknow where the erstwhile nawabs lived. get amazed at the architecture of bada imambada with walls that can hear, with a pond (that fills itself from gomti river’s underground water system) that informs of incoming visitors. It is a true marvel and represents the achievements of our ancestors. Chhota imambada is nearby. Take a ghoda-gadi (horse carriage) and feel like royalty with the curious eyes of people you passing by. Reserve your lunch time for Idrees ki biryani. A small shop in Chowk but very popular for its own version of biryani slow cooked in milk for hours before served. Remember, it finishes fast so be on time. They usually serve after 12pm and end by 3pm. A popular sweet shop in Raja Bazaar - tiwari ki doodh ki barfi - is a must have. After all, lucknow mein yeh nahi khaaya to kya kiya. Keep your gastric juices flowing with dinner at either Tundey ke Kabads or Shekhawat ke Kababs. Both are equally good, though local people would say it is not so! After all loyalty is something. Taste the spicy, melt in your mouth kababs and savour the true spirit of mughal food.
