Last weekend, I have visited Royal Cafe in Gomti Nagar, and it turned out to be an unforgettable culinary experience. As a food enthusiast, I was eager to sample some of the city's most famous street delicacies, and Royal Cafe did not disappoint.
The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with a blend of traditional and contemporary decor. The comfortable seating and attentive staff added to the overall pleasant dining atmosphere. The place seemed to have a steady flow of customers, which speaks volumes about its popularity among both locals and tourists.
Now, coming to the main highlight - the food. I must say that the Basket Chat and Paani Puri at Royal Cafe were truly exceptional. The flavors burst in my mouth with each bite, and I could immediately sense the authenticity and care put into the preparation of these iconic street foods.
The Basket Chat, a delightful combination of crispy and tangy ingredients served in an edible basket, was a treat for both the eyes and taste buds. The amalgamation of various chutneys, spices, chickpeas, and potatoes created a symphony of flavors that left me craving for more. The presentation was commendable, and the balance of textures made it an enjoyable culinary adventure.
Equally impressive was the Paani Puri, which brought back memories of savoring this beloved snack from roadside vendors. The crispy puris filled with a tantalizing blend of spicy and tangy water, along with the mashed potato and chickpea filling, were a perfect respite from the summer heat. Each Golgappa was bursting with flavors that truly delighted my palate.
The menu at Royal Cafe offers a variety of other street food delicacies as well, and I regret not being able to try them all during my visit. However, based on my experience, I can confidently say that the authenticity and taste are the restaurant's strong suits.
The only reason I am not giving it a full five-star rating is because the service was a bit slow, especially during peak hours when the place was bustling with diners. Nevertheless, the friendly staff and delectable food more than made up for it.
In conclusion, dining at Royal Cafe in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, was a delightful journey through the city's iconic street food culture. The Basket Chat and Paani Puri were undeniably the stars of the show, leaving me with a lingering craving for more. If you are a food lover looking to indulge in Lucknow's rich culinary heritage, Royal Cafe should undoubtedly be on your list of...
Read moreI have been visiting this place for years, actually, I have been visiting this place since it has opened and have never been disappointed by this place. Food- The food at this place is brilliant, I have enjoyed the Chinese Food, Indian Food, basically everything from their basket chat to their Thali. The food at this place is amazing, the paneer in Paneer chilling used to be hard once but now it's fine. So I like it, you'll love the food. The quantity is great too. An appetizer and Manchurian with Noodles will suffice easily for a group of four people. Price-The price is, I'd say, OKAY. Just because the quantity served is a lot, I think that the price is justified. It's definitely more expensive than Green and Aryans which are both located very near to it and offer comparable food, so, price in my opinion is just okay. Service- Service isn't very fast but isn't very slow either, so the service, in my opinion is just decent but way better than Green because at least they come and ask for your order and serve it on time which is the complete opposite in Green. The staff is friendly and is good. I like this place's service. Ambiance- Ambiance is okay, nothing special about it. I don't think that there's anything appealing about the Ambiance. Verdict- This place is a must visit. There's not a rush at this restaurant. You can come and eat anytime. You'll love this place if you're not concerned about the Ambiance. You should definitely try the famous...
