The invitation to this Food Festival had 'Royal' Awadhi food written all over it. I knew that Hazrathganj boasted of some of the best Kebabs in Lucknow and this is one feast I definitely did not want to miss.
I have been a great fan of the Food Festivals of the ITC for the effort they take to recreate authentic recipes as part of the 'Pop Up' festivals.
The cornerstone of this festival were the Kebabs. Each Kebab outdid the other. The meat and fish based kebabs were outstanding, but the Vegetarian Kebabs were even better still.
The evening started with some 'Thandai' which was rich with dry fruits and then Rose Sherbat.
This was followed by two soups
The 'Yakhni Shorba' & the Vegetarian 'Badam Shorba'
