One of the best and tastiest kebabs in the world is undoubtedly our Galouti Kebabs. Also known as tunde ke kabab, Galouti kebab is a mouth-watering kebab dish made of minced meat. The name ‘Galouti’ itself means ‘melt-in-the-mouth. The home to the world's best Galouti Kebab is the city of Lucknow. These mouth-melting kebabs are said to have hailed from Lucknow and are now a quintessential part of Awadhi cuisine. It is widely believed that these delicious and delicate kebas were exclusively created for Nawab of Awadh, Wajid Ali Shah. He was a huge meat lover and kebas were something that was very close to his heart and soul. Unfortunately, when he was growing old, he couldn't bear the coarse texture of kebabs as it became difficult for him to chew because of his weak and old teeth. So in order to satisfy his cravings, soft and delicate galouti kebabs were handcrafted by his khansamas. Ever since then, Galouti kebabs took a new form and came to be known as one of the softest and most palatable kebabs in the whole world. Galouti kebabs were prepared with goat meat and a blend of 160 spices. So are you drooling over them already? Here are the top 3 restaurants that are the most visited places in Lucknow for kebabs.
