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.
