Non-vegetarian delicacies may be more obvious showstoppers, but traditional Awadhi food has an equally rich range of vegetarian delights rooted in age-old recipes, kitchen secrets and legacies that have passed on for generations. From melt-in-the-mouth decadent sweets to lip-smacking street food and sophisticated classic dishes, this food walk offers a true taste of vegetarian Awadhi food served with heavy doses of local greetings!
Dedicate two hours to pamper your palate with a vegetarian-themed food walk in the City of Nawabs. Look forward to a soul-satisfying experience and the chance to sample some of the classic dishes and snacks that Lucknow is known for at some of the places frequented by locals. Slip into shops loaded with pickles, preserves and dips and don’t miss the chance to stock up on some local produce for your kitchen back at home.
For those who enjoy unconventional ingredients, Awadhi cuisine has a surprising array of untried flavours of vegetables like Kathal(jackfruit) and Arbi (colocassia). Rajma (kidney beans) and Galawti Kebabs, accompanied by breads like Sheermal and Baqarkhani are a must-try on every foodie’s bucket list. Lovers of tangy chaat (spicy snack) will drool over the Pani ke Batashe (Golgappas) – tiny fried snack which have fillings of cumin water, lemon, asafoetida and raw mango. Another must-try is the Basket Chaat or TokriChaat, deliciousness of sev, sprouts, onion, yoghurt and spices served in a basket made of fried boiled potatoes and cornflour.
Lucknow’s paan (beetle leaves) chewing culture goes back in time to the imperial courts of the Mughals and the Nawabs. Some shops in the Chowk area are about 80-years old and offer a glimpse of the exotic past of the Paan with its fancy versions like Badami Paan (with almonds), and Zafrani Paan (with saffron) among others. Think of it as a dessert, post-dessert!

I will begin by saying that I had a FANTASTIC time in India. It was one of the best trips I've ever taken and I'm truly looking forward to hopefully having you book other trips for me in India.
I must say everything was planned to perfection. Each guide in every city was knowledgeable; especially the guide you arranged for us in Udaipur. We really enjoyed getting to know our guides Musheer and Kishore. We experienced the real India and appreciated the detailed itinerary your team created for us. The hotels were fantastic! In every hotel, the chef paid us a visit to make sure that we had meals suitable for us. We also enjoyed all the extra shopping excursions that were suggested.
The trip was a mega success and your team did a great job. Thanks to Footprint for everything. The entire family had a great time! The exclusive kalaripayattu demonstration was absolutely engaging and we loved every bit of the special private stand-up by Alex Babu (of Alex in Wonderland fame).
Thank you for a great trip! We especially enjoyed driving through the desertland into Jaisalmer; we also thoroughly enjoyed Bikaner, its Havelis and the Fort. Catching the daily life in Mumbai was a unique and eye-opening experience! All the hotels chosen are excellent with wonderful staff. Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderful trip to Kerala. We loved the village life walk and Fort Cochin walk. The backwater cruise in a traditional country boat was an incredible experience. A meal with the local family, living on an island in the backwaters, offered us an excellent opportunity to interact, learn and share. We loved every minute of our holiday! Thanks!
As a solo traveller, I felt safe and was exceptionally well taken care of. The cooking class in Jaipur was extremely enjoyable. The food, chef, and his wife were all exceptional and made for a lovely evening. Also, our expectations were definitely exceeded at a private residence, spending time with the elephants and lunching. Thanks!!
I loved India and thank you very much for arranging everything. It was a fabulous trip. Big kudos to you and your team. The tour guides and drivers were excellent. I loved the artisan walk, discovering the artistic treasures of Udaipur, meeting local potters and painters.
Thanks for arranging everything to precision – it was super smooth and we had a very good darshan!
Thanks for organising a great trip to Lucknow and Varanasi. The hotels at both the places were excellent; we had a great guide in Varanasi who went beyond the designated tour route and showed us around. The food tour in Lucknow was amazing and re-discovering the Awadhi Cuisine was a great experience – the kebabs were out of the world!
It was a terrific experience to spot the King of the jungle in all their glory at Gir. We had a very good experience overall.
It was a perfect leisure getaway – thanks for organising this! We loved the French Connection Trail; the guide took us through the French quarter sharing some incredible stories from the colonisation. We enjoyed the hotel and the service!
