Having seen Farangi Mahal Islamic Centre of India, it's time to have a rest at this fast food. Indian and Persian cuisines are on the menu at Sakhawat Restaurant. Nicely cooked chicken biryani, chicken skewers and fish have a nice taste. You will be offered good marsala.
At this place, you can get a takeout. The positive aspect of this spot is that the staff is hospitable. If you want to experience spectacular service, you should go to this fast food. Tasty meals at fair prices are offered here. When inside, the atmosphere is lovely. Google users are quite generous with Sakhawat Restaurant: it was rated 4 stars.

Sakhawat Restaurant – A Century of Awadhi Soul. If the walls of Sakhawat Restaurant could talk, they would speak in the language of slow-simmered gravies and the rhythmic pounding of stone-ground spices. Established in 1911 by Haji Wahid Ali and named after his son, Sakhawat Ali, this legendary eatery has survived empires and eras. Tucked away in a quiet lane behind the Oudh Gymkhana Club in Kaiserbagh, Sakhawat isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a living museum of Lucknow’s culinary heritage. The Ambience: No-Frills, All Flavor. Forget the "Instagrammable" decor. Sakhawat is a humble, no-nonsense establishment. It feels like a well-kept secret, catering to those who prioritize the depth of a shorba over the thread count of a tablecloth. The seating is basic, the space is compact, and the service is brisk—but that’s because the focus has remained steadfastly on the copper deghs (pots) for over 114 years. The Standout Dishes 1. Shami Kebab & Mughlai Paratha. While most of Lucknow flocks to Tunday for Galawati, the connoisseurs come to Sakhawat for the Shami Kebab. These are not your average patties; they are a masterclass in texture. Finely minced meat is blended with a secret ratio of spices and chana dal, then pan-fried to achieve a crisp exterior that gives way to a silky, fiber-rich center. Pair these with their Mughlai Paratha—flaky, golden, and just the right amount of indulgent—to understand why this duo is a local obsession. 2. Bater Mussallam (Quail). A rarity in modern menus, Sakhawat keeps the tradition of Bater Mussallam alive. The quail is marinated to the bone and slow-cooked in a rich, aromatic gravy. It’s a dish for the adventurous diner, offering a deeper, gamier flavor than chicken, perfectly balanced by the subtle heat of Awadhi spices. 3. Bhuna Gosht. The Bhuna Gosht here is a testament to the art of bhuna (slow frying). The mutton is cooked in its own juices with browned onions and a blend of "warm" spices until the gravy clings to the meat in a thick, dark, and intensely flavorful coating. It’s best enjoyed with a simple Rumali Roti to let the meat shine. The Verdict. Sakhawat is one of the few places left that still uses stone-ground spices and traditional coal-fired clay ovens. It is a "Chef’s favorite"—a place where the recipe hasn’t been diluted by commercialization. • Best For: Purists seeking authentic, heritage Awadhi flavors. • Pro Tip: The menu often changes daily (e.g., specific dishes like Kakori Kebabs or Nargisi Koftas may only be available on certain days). It’s always best to arrive early in the evening, as their most popular items sell out fast. Source : Gemini AI.
