Lucknow, the city of Nawabs, is globally celebrated for its kebabs, biryanis, and decadent sweets. But ask a true-blue Lucknowite, and they’ll tell you that another humble snack defines the city’s everyday life just as much—the samosa. Crisp on the outside, stuffed with spiced potatoes, peas, or even keema, samosas in Lucknow are not just a snack; they are an institution. Over the years, several stalls and shops have become legendary for serving this golden delight, each with its unique flavor and loyal fan base.
Run by the third generation, this stall is famous for its round or “gol” samosas, served with butter-slathered buns and kadak chai. The place sells nearly 800 samosas every day, making it one of the busiest samosa stops in town.
