Just the brand name. It is famous for chat items but I have not eaten such sweet chat anywhere before. Sweet chatni, sweet curd(with sugar) in chats. It’s all waste. Soup is bad.. overall waste of money. Exorbitantly costly.

This place is really famous for its basket chat. The food was really good and they have other vegetarian options also. One basket chat is enough for two people easily and prices are decent as it is one of the popular ones. The atmosphere and the service was also excellent.

The prices are on the higher side but they do provide ample quantity of every item. The items were all great overall. The basket chat, which is a speciality of this cafe/restaurant, did not disappoint. One point off for the large crowd and a sort of bad handling of it.

Tried chat and sweet of Royal cafe. Look like shop is over hyped by you-tubers. - Food quality is average - Price is on higher side. -Excellent market activity by chacha ji - Items preparation very quick means waiting time is almost null - No parking space -Shop is surrounded by market with almost all kind of shops. You can try this shop once or twice just for taste.

We had basket chaat and only curd was fresh. Even basket had weird taste. We had pani puri and it was better. I haven’t tried any full meal but I think I am not going to that place anymore.

Royal Cafe is famous for it’s Basket Chaat and mouthwatering fast foods and Indian, Chinese, Continental dishes both veg and non-veg. The basket chaat or tokri chaat is a famous chaat made up of grated potatoes which is deep fried to make a crispy fried Basket/Tokri base for the chaat. This basket is then filled with lots of ingredients like the mixture of Aloo Tikki, Papdi, Bhalle, Matar, Dahi, Saunth Chutney (Tamarind Mix), Green Chutney (Dhaniya Mix), Sev, Boiled Potatoes, Fresh Anardana Seeds, Chaatmasala, Dhania Powder, Red Chilli Powder, Amchoor, Jeera Powder etc. Hardayal Maurya or Chhotu Bhaiya or Chotu Chaatwala is not the Chaat King of Lucknow or India, but is a Chaat King of the World. Hardayal Maurya or Chhotu Bhaiya is also credited as the famous creator of Basket Chaat of Royal Cafe. Hardayal Maurya is Head Chef and chaat expert at Royal Cafe, Hazratganj, Lucknow. He was MD of Maurya Hospitality Management’s Lucknowi Chat Private Limited, that was registered at Pune, Maharashtra address in 19 July 2001. The company is now Strike Off from the Registrar of Companies, Pune. According to his bio mentioned in his Facebook page, he is married and has been associated with Royal Cafe since from 1992.

Truly loved this place in Lucknow. Ambience is good. Their basket chat is the best chat we had till day. Sizzler was average but they modified it accordingly. And the mouth watering kesar faluda icecream too is just awesome. Loved eating here.

It was good in taste. Only thing I don't like in basket chaat is basket🤣 other than that it was full of flavours. Price is bit high.

Really the place lives up to its name. It's famous for its chats and other veg dishes. I tried the basket chat It was really delicious in taste. Easily 2 people can share one basket chat. It's a must visit place if you are around Lucknow or even as a tourist.

Royal Cafe is a must-visit restaurant for anyone looking to experience the unique flavors of Lucknow. The restaurant is famous for its Basket Chat and other mouth-watering snacks that are sure to leave you feeling satisfied. The service at Royal Cafe is friendly and efficient, and the staff is always ready to offer recommendations and suggestions. The seating area is clean and comfortable, but can get quite busy during peak hours. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Basket Chat, which was an explosion of flavors and textures. The other items on the menu were equally delicious, and it's clear that the chefs at Royal Cafe take great care in preparing their food. While the restaurant may not have the most elaborate decor or ambiance, it more than makes up for it with its delicious food and friendly service. If you're in Lucknow, make sure to add Royal Cafe to your list of must-visit places. Overall, I highly recommend Royal Cafe to anyone looking for an authentic taste of Lucknow's culinary scene. It's a great spot to grab a quick snack or to enjoy a leisurely meal with friends and family.

What did we try: Basket Chat: When I was in class 1, probably I tasted (aloo tikki, tamatar, samosa etc.) Chaats for the very first time. Since then I am extremely fascinated about chaats as Allahabad( Prayagraj) is famous for it. When I tasted chaat it used to sell for Rs 4 for a full plate. At present in Allahabad one can get a plate of Chat from any local stalls for Rs 30 a plate and places which are using Desi Ghee(Clarified Butter) to fry tikkis, would cost you around Rs 60-70 and a full plate will be comprising of two tikkis. The same is applicable for Varanasi. Parallelly the famous "Basket Chaat" of Lucknow would cost you a whopping Rs 230 per plate which is unthinkable for a middle class family. In Northern India, chaat is a common man's food. However, in this restaurant you'll only see people savouring chaat belonging from upper middle/rich class. I told my friend to skip this place as a Chaat should not cost Rs 230. Taste wise it is not at all exceptional as in chaats, predominantly the flavors are of sweetened curd, meethi chutney(Sonth wali) and chaat/roasted cumin powder. Plating is instagram worthy and the chef is always ready for a selfie. All the vloggers will tell you to visit this place, however I won't. Verdict: Not at all advised to visit this place in Lucknow. If you really want to taste original chaat, go to Kashi chaat bhandar(Varanasi-Gadowlia) or Nirala (Allahabad-Lokhnath gali)/ Shiv chat center(Allahabad-Bhairo baba temple). In these two cities, every small chaat stall sells better and inexpensive chaat than Royal Cafe of Lucknow. *This is completely my honest opinion! Please like, share and follow to know more!

I must say their ambiance is just rocking. We go their for their signature busket chat. First of all the presentation is very refreshing and colourful. There is a blast of flavours in the mouth, in every bite there is a unique flavour that's pleased your mouth. Absolutely in love with it.. Highly recommended.

I really loved the place and the interiors🤩 it's like a must visit place on your trip to Lucknow 💕 The staff was also good. I tasted the famous basket chaat and dahi patashas which were so filling. The prices are so low in comparison to the food and ambience the place offers...!!

Awesome place for snacks and chat in Lucknow. So famous for their basket chat and it is really very tasty. Whenever it comes for chat, royal cafe is the no.1, here is some pics of basket chat I want to share with you all so that you can easily make your decision to order some really tasty food from Royal cafe. Too good

It is very popular cafe near Hazratganj metro station. If you are in lucknow you will be happy to taste the recipe and services.

Awesome place to hangout with friends. Service is good. Well behaved staff Takes care of proper hygiene. Good place for refreshment. Pricing is a little bit high but tastes good so it's not a big deal.

The place is famous for the iconic Basket chat. Located in the most prime location of Lucknow, just beside the gate 1 of Hazaratganj metro station. The Basket chat was so big in serving, about a full big plate. The taste was undoubtedly fabulous, ambience was also luxurious, and service was quick. The menu is endless covering wide variety of cuisines.

Wonderful eat joint bang at the start of MG road , Hazrat ganj. It's so close to the metro station . For people with a gastronomic sense and a busy tongue, this is the place to be. On tha patio and pavement is the chat corner and sit leat done in is there next. The food is great. The taste typical avadhi. The cleanliness and hygiene praiseworthy. The attitude, attentiveness and behaviour of the stewards very polite and disarming. The Indian menu is full of fragrant, aroma filled delights. The kebabs are sumptuous . The mutton prep are really canvassed for bt the staff and are good. Must visit while in Lucknow

It is just an assortment of 5-6 items in a single basket. Now, assortment doesn't mean that everything assorted has taste or something out of the world. I personally liked the uncle who serves but when it comes to the Basket chaat. Honestly, there's nothing special taste.

This place is situated near Hazratganj metro station. It is famous for its basket chat . They serve awesome chat, panipur and aloo tikkis. In addition to this they also have a restaurant which serves other food items also. They serve tasty food. Overall good place for vegetarians . This place is so famous for chats in lucknow that even celebrities often visit this place when they are in lucknow for shooting.

It was an absolute pleasure to come back to this heritage restaurant of Lucknow after a few years. The staff are superbly trained & seat you swiftly & help you order with ease. Food was well prepared & tasted devine. Loved the old Nawabi era chandeliers twinkling while I ate my food. The Kulfi falooda was exceptional. Will highly recommend it to thos who want a taste of the authentic Lucknow.

Good point for some relaxation and snacks. The place was cleaning, the ambience was good and the food options were great. Tried the famous basket chat, and it didn't disappoint.

The staff was good he immediately get a table for us . Their was so much rush. The chicken fried rice was not fresh i think but the pizza has some exotic flavour that you want to eat more. I also had papdi chat best chat out there. The quality was awesome.

One of the top recommended places when you are in Lucknow. Especially the basket chat, worth the hype. Although you pay a premium for a chat but it's certainly worth it. All the different stuffing, simply a blast of flavours in every bite.

Tried here the famous basket chaat of Rs 250/-. It's different and large in quantity. We two tried to finish it and got succeeded. Nice taste and service and able to meet the uncle there which I have seen on YouTube.

Authentic taste... The taste of veg handi biryani was great.. you can feel the aroma when they serve it... We also had veg clear soup which was also good in taste. They have numbers of authentic dishes in veg as well as in non-veg.

The Basket Chat is very popular, and indeed it is good. But the restaurant staff inside was quite hostile. The prices are a little high, so go with a full pocket.

Best place to visit in lucknow If your are foodie...very good staff there services are really good. And it was famous for there chat...I really like to recommend to every body to try there chat vairety...also it was located in very nice place which is called hazaratganj...very good place to shopping and hangout purpose...but,the royal Cafe taste is very good..you can visit with your friends and family...sometime they start changing there food vairety as per Indian festival...like in Navratri they also offer you to fasting food, so it was really good to all people in fasting.

It's overrated and overpriced.Not a good place, high-headed staff, rude management, extremely unpleasant experience...I have never had such a tasteless soup. The taste of tomato soup was exactly like the gravy of Shahi Paneer and way too sweet ... this hot and sour soup. that was just a plain water with boiled vegetables in it .no sauce no salt nothing .. And they took 600INR .. for 2 soups. according to the taste it was Very expensive, equally bad taste. they should learn to cook soup.

I visited here on 26th Nov 2023. I had Basket Chat, Taste was good and also their Hajmola. The atmosphere was good here and people were excited to meet the Chaat kind and have their favourite dishes. Only thing which I feel is the price is on a little higher side.

Chaat king of Lucknow at Royal cafe best chaat in town mouth watering stuff 🤤🍽 from Pune to Lucknow see his story too

Everyone have their own taste. I didn't liked the basket Chaat as it is made to be. Same with my friend's but of you are here to try something new or some change of pace go ahead.

The restaurant is located close to metro station making it easily accessible. The food is very delicious and ambiance of this place is great. Chicken Bara masala is a must try if you are a non vegetarian. In times covid, the safety protocols are being followed very strictly.

This place is located on main hazratganj road. All dishes are mouth watering. If you have not visited this, its a must go for basket chat speaciality of Lucknow. Ps: Park your vehical on your own risk.

Basket chat awesome. One is enough for 2-3 people.

I'm a bit surprised I never reviewed this place before. I've been visiting this location on and off for over ten years now and the menu has expanded but the core focus on excellent food and service has not swayed which makes this an easy to recommend place. I enjoy the biryani here very much, and they also make a very nice chicken club sandwich. The tikkas are great too. The chat outside is very good too, the basket chat especially. The dahi kebab is fantastic. The facilities are clean and comfortable. Will continue to visit. Over the years the surrounding area has gotten a bit better too which a bonus.

Wanted to try once a while but the taste was so good that it will be on and on on . Place to be remembered got a photo with our chef of basket chat a memorable day

Had their iconic basket chaat. It’s HEAVY but a great combination of flavours. The pomegranate pieces, sweet curd and the edible potato basket were incredible 👍👍

This place sits at the heart of Lucknow "HAZRATGANJ". If you ever get a chance to pass by Hazratganj please do visit there and don't forget to try basket chaat. Humble advice - 1 basket chaat serves 2 people. The restaurant food is also nice. Nawabo ke thaath aur Hazratganj ki chaat.

It's basket chaat is very famous but still it was worst. They put a lot of things into it but do not prepare it well, it's like put everything but everything feels isolated and segregated(it's like a marriage , which shows off the marriage as a grand party, but actually there is no chemistry between husband and wife<metaphor>). Really not happy and it does not serve 10% to the hype, which it has created. If you still want to buy 230Rs/chaat, do come at your own risk and try to buy only one for upto 3 peoples and if you like you should order more. Only the ambience is good nothing else in this basket chaat.

Royal Cafe is a Street food outlet and a Royal Hall of food treat.It has everything from snacks to Bar But Is known for its basket chaat.(230 INR as December 2021) Its awesome. How much to eat depends upon u but Its welcome drink which is really a appetiser is Super Tasty. U have varieties in his out let at Corner but for relaxation parties and If u are in Lucknow and come without visit u are missing a lot. MEALS Lunch, Dinner, Brunch, After-hours

It’s one of the most famous eating spots in Hazratganj. Chaat of this outlet was delicious. It was very crowded and unclean. I ordered dahi bhalla chaat here. The dish was very tasty and fresh. There is a dine in area as well where one can sit and have food. I guess prices are higher than the prices they charge if you stand outside and eat. The dine in area was air conditioned and staff there was very friendly and attentive. However, the place was stinking and the washrooms were unclean. The look of the restaurant was very old.

Over hyped restaurant which become famous by food vloger who must not have sense of taste anymore. The very famous Basket chat is too much sweet where I personally felt that I paid Rs 275(Over priced) just for sweet curd. Veg Cebab was too much spicy. On Social media, it seems yummy but when you taste it, you realise that you must not trust what you see on screen. Huge huge disappoint from Royal Cafe. Kudos to all those food vloger who keep promoting such a worst items and places too.

Famous for its basket chat, good taste, although a little overpriced-₹250 Located is near hazratganj metro gate 1, or you can get drop off just at the main road. Ambience is nice, hygienic and good service.

Bucket Chaat they are famous for at RS. 250 but worth it✅. Just adjacent to Hazratganj Metro station Gate no 1. You can enjoy here mostly in evening. There a re lot copies of royal cafe but you must watch my video posted on Google maps for authentication. First floor is available also but sometimes security guard stops. I also shared menu and you can enjoy music vibes there, Rush is good. Enjoy and don't forget to follow me on maps ☺️

The basket chat is a must try . They also have other chat options . The taste was good , the basket chat is huge for 1 person .It’s still manageable if you plan to skip lunch or dinner !!😋

Very tasty chaat options ..must try is chaat tokri... Costs high at 250 but is enough for 2 people... Overall all chaat options r gr8 n finger licious... Service is fast ... N outside eating place is clean

This is truly a royal restaurant. The restaurant is located in a prime area. All chats are located at the entrance of the restaurant which are really appetizing. The restaurant has two floors and both the floor have a great ambience. The food is really amazing. We went for dinner and tried some vegetarian options. The spinach soup had small paneer and carrot bits which added to the taste of the soup. The vegetarian assorted kebab platter had all the kebabs they prepare and came in a very good presentation. The tandoori breads were extremely fresh and had a good taste. They are worth trying. They add food color to paneer butter masala to bring out that bright orange-red color, but the taste and consistency was on spot. The veg kofta gravy was good and mildly spicy as requested. Overall the food was a solid 9/10. The service was also on spot as they suggest which one to try and they serve all food on your plate as well. They were very courteous. But they do expect some tips at the end when you are paying. Having said all these, I would recommend this restaurant only if you are ready to pay high cost. They use their image that many celebrities come to Royal Cafe.

A hyped place for having a chatt and that is also their world-famous basket chat. This basket is made from some besan material and chatt is placed right inside it. Quite an expensive one with one basket worth Rs 250. Only self-service is there and one may have to stand right on the footpath. A one-time recommended place for having one basket chatt.

Over hyped place. Pani puri is good but I didn’t like the tikki chaat and the basket chaat. Half plate tikki is Rs 70/- and basket chat is 250/- and the pani puri is Rs 50/- per plate. Service is good. Difficult to find parking for 4 wheeler

It was a good experience, The food was delicious and tasty and the portions were very nice. Lemon Coriander soup was very tasty and the Paneer Chilli was good but similarly very oily, that could be avoidable. Overall it was a good experience.

Royal Cafe is definitely one of the most sought after place in Lucknow. The chat , the golgappas are awesome. One will find the main restaurant inside full of delicious food like Dalmakhni, Veg Noodles and Pizzas

An excellent location with delicious meal. Both very and nonveg food is awesome👏👏👍

Tasty food , though bit extra sugar added in everything. Uncle in topi and kurta pyjama is very good. Gives nice suggestions

Located in Heart of Hazrat Ganj, the posh shopping area, this is one of the very few eateries in the vicinity that offers sumptuous delicacies. Most famous of then is the Basket Chat , which although costs Rs. 200, is worth your time and money. The quantity is more than enough for a single person and can be easily shared by two for a snack. Aloo Tikki chat is also quite good.

Family restaurant. Ambience is nice. Food is great 😋 Friendly staff. Alcohol is not served here.

Tried their Basket Chaat and it was very tasty and yummy. And must say it was really worth it.

nice basket chaat

Good

Very good specialy their famous basket chat.

For people having love of foods Moderately expensive

Try coffee it's awesome

Great place for eating and I like big basket box.....

Mouth watering food

The famous basket chaat was good. I liked the mango chutney they give alongside the chaat for digestion. Even the chana chaat was good. We had batasha wid meetha paani. It was really good. Better than what you get at some of the other famous shops. The owner was also humble.

Basket chat is famous and it is must truly item of royal cafe...

Best basket chat ever and it's very huge.. will take time to finish it... Price 200rs

Hustling and bustling, it is truly hub of Lucknow city. Everyone loves to be there. Night time, it is all lit up and in all glory. However, the negative is the traffic and pollution level which is too high.

It was good

loved basket chaat

Quality and Taste best as ever!

Amazing taste of basket chat

Very good place for very tasty meals Overpriced,but service, quality of food, ambience compensate it

great food.

At Hazratganj with beautiful interior and delicious food...

Their baskest chart is drooling..but I request them to maintain the taste..

(Translated by Google) Bakwas (Original) Bakwas

Decent place for family and friends but costly.

Great ambiance. Good food. A good to go outing spot with family and friends especially on festivals. Very humble and coordinated staff. Just loved the service and hosting.

Basket chat fav🔥

Basket chat was nice but over rated and over priced. 200per chat

Niceee

Very good

Super

Tasty food

Had amazing Dum Biryani..Must try

Not bad

As of Christmas, the place was heavily crowded, went in to buy some snacks and coke. To my surprise the coke bottle which I received was not sealed and the level of the beverage was also less. Upon asking for the same a very cool reply came, " hota rehta hai". Not even bothered to check as to what they are selling to the customers. No doubt about the taste, but small things do matter.

Best basket chart and kulfi

Delicious fast food available here. Try dahi bhalla. Must eat

Good cafe

(Translated by Google) Bakwas (Original) Bakwas

The food was very good, although I like non-veg but veg was very good, only one thing to improve the indoors of the restaurant.

It a very famous eating point in Lucknow in a very posh area hajratganj shop is nicely clean and crowded also prices are way too high, many items are there to eat and they taste really good just a plate of chaat katori costs 200 rs but it’s taste is very nice 2-3 people can easily eat , parking is main problem to search it Would be much better to come on two wheeler

Royal Cafe is famous for its Basket chaat. Basket Chaat is equivalent to dinner. It was heavy with combination of different chats assorted in a Basket. The owner of Royal Cafe was jovial, down to earth and was continuously clicking photos with customers. Basket Chaat is priced at Rs.200 per plate.

Nice place for snacks. Basketchaat is its famous dish. If u visit this place must try it out. It is situated on a prime location as metro station is very close to it. The only Drawback is the open air is not having any sitting arrangements, if senior people r with u they will have problem.

Loved the food taste and quality, location is good too. No space for sitting. Chat items are awesome, cold coffee is average. Just go and grab a bite, I think you won't regret.

Awesome place for foodies. You have multiple options to eat. only veg food available.

The place is very welcoming and soothing. It can be a good option for family gatherings as well. I had mouthwatering basket chat here. It is so yum and a meal in itself. A must try!!!

More than what I was expecting. Must visit to have one of the best chaat / food experiences

Iconic basket chaat ..full of nutrition

prices have increased and quantity also has been reduced

Best chat in Lucknow.

Apart from food quality hospitality is also quite good

great test ever...!!!!

Good

Amazing

Always feel pleasure to be here

Gud to have a basket chat

Awesome food

Loved the tikki chat, ambience is also good

World famous and star liked place to eat good UP food..

Good chat

Very poor experience. Both from staff behaviour as well as the preparation

Very famous for Basket Chat ( Allu Tikki)

Good food. Bucket chat was great. Paneer Matki was delicious.

not bad

Nice you should try

Awesome chat!

Ordered the famous Basket Chat and was totally worth the hype. Loved how filling and tasty it was at a reasonable cost. Plus, the staff was very warm and welcoming!🙌🙌

Wow what a experience with Lakhnavi basket chaat of Royal Cafe😋 Guys try it.... U will never forget it.

The food was amazing and if anyone is confuse what to try then I just go for mixed chowmine,dry chilli chicken,garlic chicken gravy. The service was also very good the quantity of food was good👌👌 at the last I just want to say everything was👌👌👌

This Cafe /Restaurant is located in the Centre of Lucknow... But the Basket Chat Is much hyped ..... There's nothing so special only huge quantity of Curd in the Basket......

Loved it

Ambience is awesome, but if you ask for food, it's mama-mia. Royal cafe's famous basket chat is a must try. I rated 4 star, deducted 1 star because as per my opinion basket chat is little over-priced but the taste will compensate all your worries about it.

Amazing street food! Basket chaat and nimbu matar are a must-haves!

(Translated by Google) Aaloo ki chat (Original) Aaloo ki chat

A Super place to visit for Chaat and food....High Quality food items..Must have Chaat if you visit Lucknow...

Best place for foodie's

King of chaat😋

One of the most famous chaat corner in Lucknow. Famous for its Basket chaat, aloo chaat, dahi bhale, pani Puri, Hot Gulab jamun, gajar ka halwa, varieties of Kulfi and other sweets and savoury items. Always overcrowded so might get little late in serving, Lil overpriced too but these chaats should definitely be tried

One of the best chaat😍

Awesome chat in lucknow

Really nice but the service is slow

Tasty food with fast service

Very nice

Nice good

Evening spot for chaat and snacks

लखनऊ's veg speciality

According to verify

Good place to eat. Ordered basket chat and nimbu mattar. Both tested good. Basket chat 220/- and nimbu mattar - 100/-

Basket chat is something that everyone should experience at least once. It is absolutely blissful.

Found the food to be okayish in comparison to the hype. Presentation is good..

Ordered the famous Basket Chaat and Dahi Bhalle, and after tasting it i must say it's worth the hype. They provide you worth the money quantity of basket chaat, which i wasn't able to finish myself. Also, the thing is noticed was that theu use desi ghee in the making of tikkis and matar. It's ROYAL CAFE after all!!!

Must visit chaat center in lucknow!! Popular for basket chaat..

Royal cafe is also known as chat king of India. All about the basket chat ,dahi batasha , dahi bada,and tikki all are very delicious and very unique how they served.

Great shop.. Good food. Famous for Basket Chatt. Dinning is also very good.. Taste of food it's yummy side. Must try.

Loved there World Famous “Basket “Chaat”🤤 Chaat King Hardayal Maurya Sir love the way you serve the chaat…Awesome

Nice place to try the best basket chaat in lucknow.. The cafe offers amazing snacks to their audience.. Cheers .. Follow on insta - Indian.travel.blogger

It's a good restaurant to have snacks at Royal cafe. Famous for tokri chat. If you love Indian chat then it's a good place to visit in lucknow

Amazing place to relish delicacies served by humble people. Or was nice to visit this eatery.

Basket chat was just as I expected it to be and gajar ka halwa was also really amazing. Easy to spot and fast service

The arguably the best chaat served in Lucknow. The renowned basket chaat among other tasty chaat is the main attraction here in the beautifully crated chaat center in the Hazratganj, Lucknow. Basket chaat, Gajar ka halwa are highly recommended.

Once most visit this place when you are in lucknow. Nice place to enjoy the delicious food

Royal Cafe is a Street food outlet and a Royal Hall of food treat.It has everything from snacks to Bar.But Is known for its Katori chaat..Its awesome.How much to eat depends upon u but Its welcome drink which is really a appetiser is Super Tasty.U have varieties in his out let at Corner but for relaxation parties and If u are in Lucknow and come without visit u are missing a lot.

Nice place but very expensive. Not suitable for a middle class family. Price of items is beyond it limit. I hear about this cafe a lot but when I get my experience i feel like "unchi dukan feeke pakwan". Only a hype created not actually heart touching its overrated. cuisines are normal. Go there your own risk 🤪

It is surely a hyped up place. The taste was good, but I found the chats a bit too sweet. And the food is pricey, no wonder "Bollywood loves Royal" - that's what they claim and display all over. It was a good place in terms of vibes and variety of chats though. People had told me it's a must go in Lucknow. So I guess yea, you should visit but you're a chat lover, I guess there are other and as good as this places (maybe not as fancy as this).

Great place to dine. Good food. Enjoyed a rare dish - Tomato Fish after a very long time. It used to be a little sweet when I had it first time as a kid. The chef at Royal Cafe came really close to the original taste. Can be tried by all. Specially kids. It's a complete meal in itself but can be had with bread or rice if one wants.

One of my quality-time places, since childhood there is no compromise with quality of food, thats what I personally noticed. Staff is well behaved, attentive to every aspect of your experience recommendations are basket chat, batasha, dahi bhalla and kulfi to satiate your pallet and to extinguish the heat in this summer

1. worst in utensils 2. Poorest service 3. They will make you wait for ages 4. Request a small thung like to chane a utensil and they will ignore like they don't care 5. Overall ambience worst I would say that its another branch which just infront of Saharaganj mall is better than this branch which is nearby janpath market.

Every thing is in the way it was decades ago. Fab food and wonderful service. Interestingly when we requested the half plate tandoori chicken to be cut into smaller pieces...we were refused citing that ain't the policy..we had ordered multiple starters and soups to be shared amongst the seven of us... We found that funny and kind of rude too... I guess patrons like us who have been here since the last century would still keep on patronizing!! Wish you all the best !!

Great place very near to Hasrantganj metro station and very famous place. Many celebrities in the past has visited this place. I tried basket chaat price is 250 Three people can eat this easily. They have various chaats and ice cream. In my opinion price was to much expensive for basket chaat

A decent restaurant close to the metro station. Their signature dish, Basket chaat, was nothing special-just felt like it was a mixture of all the leftover chaat varieties !! More tourists than locals!

Catch up with chacha for instant instagram posts while savoring one of the best chaats and lassi in town. This place is packed with people n vibes for your evening quick hangout.

A very good place situated in Hazratganj (heart of city).. the faluda , basket chat is must try .. Also other chat options, lassi is good to have here

Food was ok, not bad in taste and not very great to remember. I am a fan of hot and spicy foods and perhaps both of them are missing in entire Lucknow. Service was also fine, not much waiting.

We ordered chat basket , aloo tikki & papdi chaat for 3 people, it was more than enough for 3 . Chat basket is more than enough for atleast one person it’s full of a lot stuff which you ll love it. We went in the morning so was quiet & interior is pretty good. Staff is friendly & helpful. Our order came in 10-15 min which is ok.
