Street Food from Lucknow

Lucknow Bioscope looks at the city through the history of street food. These are a potpourri of eateries dotting the city-scape in the form of small shops, thelas, hawkers, sometimes only a cubby-hole-in-the-wall. 

One marvels at the endless queues of patient customers, shared seating, if any, with strangers, and a remarkable system of keeping accurate billing accounts with little or no paperwork involved.

So, the discussion here is not limited just to food, but extended to the personalities that have devoted their life's efforts to their enterprise. Eateries have been selected under the category of Kabab, Kulcha Nihari, Biryani/Pulao, Chaat, Khasta- Kachouri,  Sweets and Paan. So, while the eateries may be selling other food items as well, they have been selected under the specific category that they are best known for.
