Cuisines of

Uttar Pradesh

Uttar Pradesh's cuisine is deeply influenced by its royal past, and its status as the spiritual heartland of India.

Dishes like Lucknowi biryani, kakori kebab, and galouti kebab showcase the culinary finesse of the Nawabs and Rajputs, while the streets come alive with flavours of savory treats like spicy aloo chaat and chole bhature, washed-down with a glass of refreshing lassi. In the sacred city of Varanasi, vegetarian dishes like dal makhani and paneer are the daily fare. The variety of Uttar Pradhesh’s cuisine is astounding.

Served over 23000+ happy travelers

The theme of the trip was the flora and fauna of South India and it was in line with our expectations in this regard. It was a beautiful trip, very exotic, a beautiful first discovery of India, with beautiful landscapes especially in the Ghats, the tea plantations, the backwaters and Kochi and beautiful encounters with the Indians who are very welcoming. The Travel XS agency and in particular our correspondent Kalanithi were very professional, calling us several times to find out if everything was going well and very responsive to any requests. Our driver and the local guides we met were efficient and friendly.
