Excellent lucknow culinary experience
Cyrus one of only 25 parsi community in lucknow is a brilliant guide, knows all old lukhnavi speciality eateries.takes extra care for cleanliness. It started at Mubin's with chicken starter, mutton dish with shirmal. Then famous Tunday kababs, parotha & tandoori dish, Raheem kulcha was excellent. It ended with various types of Halas.overall excellent. Because of Cyrus, we visited all these places, otherwise people like us will not think of visiting such places

Outstanding tour!
Fantastic experience with a hugely enthusiastic guide, Cyrus, who expertly explains the history of Lucknow gastronomy and the dishes and is clearly passionate about his role. The food was outstanding and the commitment to cleanliness and hygiene was exemplary. I cannot recommend this enough.

An amazing food experience!
The Culinary Walk was the highlight of our stay in Lucknow. Our guide, Cyrus, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, not just about all the amazing food we tasted, but also about his city and its history and culture. We were reassured by his attention to detail where hygiene was concerned. We sampled a range of foods and everything was delicious. I can’t recommend this tour more highly! Thank you Cyrus!

Amazing local food tour
Excellent experience in Lucknow, well prepared and informative food tour. Went to local restaurants that we would never have found alone. Good hygiene practices - go with an appetite as the food is delicious and plentiful.

Wonderful culinary walk with Cyrus
My husband and I did the Lucknow Culinary Walk with Cyrus and had the most wonderful time. We loved all of the varieties of foods we tasted, from delicious kebabs to fabulous desserts, and learned a lot about the local cuisine and its influences. Cyrus was very knowledgeable about Awadhi cuisine, as well as about cuisine in general. He is also very knowledgeable about the sights and history of Lucknow, the next time we come we would love to do a city tour with him. Very highly recommended.

Delicious and informative.
Well organised, hygiene aware tour with a delicious range of food and an informative guide. We went to places we may not have gone into otherwise. Great to walk through the market at night too. Thank you Cyrus.

Would not recommend
Not worth the money - better to visit a Lucknowi restaurant on your own and taste all the dishes - will be way cheaper and a nicer experience overall Guide doesn’t provide any history or information in a structured manner - only answered our questions
Operator response
Dear Riya, It is very unfortunate that you found our Culinary Walk expensive. Frankly, the cost not only includes food cost but also a personal walking bag, with bottled water, personal disposable cutlery set, wet tissues and paper napkins. Plus, of course services of an expert Food Walk Leader. Our Walk Leader has had good reviews (past comments will indicate so) all through his career of 15 years and is known to part a lot of food knowledge to the guests. Nevertheless, your experience definitely matters to us and we are quite concerned too. We unconditionally apologize for the experience you had with our tour. As a compensation, whenever you are visiting Lucknow again, we will be happy to offer you a 6 hours Day Tour or any other another walking tour of your choice. Your feedback is important and will help us to provide better services to our guests in future.
