Cuisines of

Uttar Pradesh

Uttar Pradesh's cuisine is deeply influenced by its royal past, and its status as the spiritual heartland of India.

Dishes like Lucknowi biryani, kakori kebab, and galouti kebab showcase the culinary finesse of the Nawabs and Rajputs, while the streets come alive with flavours of savory treats like spicy aloo chaat and chole bhature, washed-down with a glass of refreshing lassi. In the sacred city of Varanasi, vegetarian dishes like dal makhani and paneer are the daily fare. The variety of Uttar Pradhesh’s cuisine is astounding.

Thanks to Travel XS we have had a wonderful trip. A perfect organization both in the preparation and throughout the trip. We were welcomed at the airport and then always taken into account in a secure and punctual way, by the guides and drivers who were very friendly and attentive. They made sure of our safety throughout the visits and pick-ups at the different hotels. The different class hotels were always very good or beautiful, we were never disappointed. The hotel staff always very friendly. The tours, well organized, were very interesting and well accompanied by the guides. We learned a lot about India and its history.
