Sekhawat's Kebabs - Lucknow India

Sakhawat is a tall standing example of Awadhi cuisine, the food at this place is garnished with lethal doses of affection. I have never had a sad meal at sakhawat. Being a regular at this place and the restaurant having shifting menu through the week has helped me gnaw almost everything the chef has made, also the only chef owned restaurant in town. The love with which the food is served will make you feel home every time. Sakhawat holds the best of everything. Their food is a reminder to people of Lucknow of the greatness of mughlai cuisine. The kebabs are delectably melt in your mouth kind, their mutton biriyani is an alternate kick on the yakhni biriyani of Lucknow. The fish just falls off the bone every single time: perfectly cooked. Every mutton preparation at sakhawat is off the bone and flavour bomb in your mouth. It is just amazing to taste the mutton recipes at this place, somehow the chef has learnt to keep the flavour of mutton intact while adding layers of spice and aromatic flavours. I have given it 4 starts just for the sole reason that there isint any decent seating space at the restaurant, and food of such quality must be eaten at an arms reach to the kitchen!You’re godsent to the Awadhi cuisine Godspeed!

To all the reviews that had berated the joint for its higher prices this should be told that they use only the desi variety for their chicken preparation which is far tastier and of course costlier than the broiler chicken used at other food joints.<br/ At Sakhawats each dish is prepared and cooked in its unique way in a separate gravy which is not done at most restaurants where they use two or at most three types of precooked gravy for all their preparation on menu...by throwing in mutton/ chicken /even paneer pieces in a frying pan along with the pre cooked gravy.<br/ <br/ Nevertheless it is felt that over the last three years they have not been consistent in maintaining the taste as it used to be earlier.<br/ I presume this might be due to the change in khansama very frequently.<br/ All said and done I still frequent the joint in my quest for best awadhi cuisine.<br/ <br/

A restaurant which is over 100 years old and still striving with serving the best possible meals to it's customers!<br/ This is Ulte Tawe ka mughlai paratha.<br/ Made with flour,milk,semolina,carrom seeds ... so soft that it melts in mouth.<br/ <br/ Mutton Shami kebab is always a personal favorite!<br/ And shami kebab is their signature dish .

One best thing I saw that They don 't use Broiler chicken meat and Prepare 'Desi Chicken meat ' best quality. Highly Recommended. They are the one who prepare real Nawabi Taste food Since Decades.
