Energy Stores — Restaurant in Kanpur

Chicken-lovers in Kanpur swear by Energy Store’s iconic Tikka Rice—a fragrant tumble of long-grain rice studded with smoky tandoori chicken that disappears from the counter well before 9 p.m.. The kitchen keeps the North-Indian menu tight: butter chicken, Afghani leg pieces and shammi kebabs headline, each paired with a punchy green chutney that regulars call “addictive”. Portions are generous and prices friendly, so college crowds and families alike treat the shop as a dependable week-night refuel stop. The outlet recently moved into Radiance Town, gaining an air-conditioned dining room after decades as a takeaway kiosk; seating is basic but clean, and service is brisk when the rush is manageable. Peak hours, however, expose cracks: reviewers on Justdial report long waits and brusque cash-counter exchanges when orders pile up. A few diners complain of reheated naan and staff unwilling to replace it, citing an almost “take-it-or-leave-it” attitude. Still, consistency of flavour keeps the queues forming. Cash-only billing feels dated, yet the bill rarely causes sticker shock. Verdict: visit before 8 p.m., carry cash, and stick to the Tikka Rice-Shammi combo for a satisfying, protein-packed meal. If polished hospitality matters more than bold spice, you may leave less energized...

Very very bad experience. I visited energy store today itself. There were lots of customers waiting for food outside as no dining is there. After 10min i got the chance to order a man took my order and i kept waiting for 15min then asked how long my order will take the man replied your order will take few minutes longer. And then again i kept waiting for 20more minutes then i asked what about my order. The man replied accha you have ordered reshmi tikka that is not available . They kept me waiting for 45min for something that was not available. They even said it wasn't their fault and didn't apologized to me at all. Then i ordered paneer rice i got it within 3min which was very very bad in taste too much of oil and a weird taste. There was no coordination in ordering and delivering the orders. 90 percent of the items were not available. The person in the cash was so rude and shouting at customers. I personally will never go to that restaurant ever and would recommend you ordering only chicken tikka rice which was the only item...

Went there few weeks ego. One of my friends recommended this place. However, my expectations didn't meet with what they served. There were only four people sitting, still the waiter took our order after 10mins and we got the order after 20mins, which was okay. But that was not worthy waiting. Even didn't like the attitude of the waiter, he rudely said that 'everything is perfect here' when we asked what is the most ordered and best dish here. . . We ordered Mutton Sheek Kabab and Shami Kabab . Both of these were so dry that we have to order a cocacola to swallow it. The mutton was not seasoned properly. The coriander chutney was like a running water with coriander paste, they also added too much lemon juice there, which completely overpowered the chutney. Also 4small piece of Shami Kabab (not tasty) at Rs 150 was not worthy. . I'll not recommend it at all. . Follow my journey with food on Instagram...
