In Lucknow, the month of Ramzan is a festival of gastronomic delight with the streets of old Lucknow turning into a festival for foodies for iftari and continuing right up till sehri. Check out some of the lesser hyped, but very popular places for iftari/sehri among rozedars on Now Lucknow’s Ramzan Special series
When you are bored with nahari, biryani and kebabs, head to this shop in Maulviganj, near Aminabad in Lucknow. Raju ki Kaleji, as the name of the shop goes, specialises in kaleji cooked in several different ways.
MUST TRY
Their speciality is the gravy kaleji, which is best enjoyed with a paratha. But the roasted kaleji chargrilled to perfection over a bed of coals, and served with a dash of lemon, is just as delectable. For something slightly more filling, try their bun kaleji.
Price: Dishes start at Rs. 20 per plate and go up to Rs. 60 per plate
WHEN
The eatery opens at iftar time and remains open till midnight at least, or till the time stock lasts.
WHERE
Tucked in a lane opposite the more famous Kareem Kababi in Maulviganj, Lucknow
