One word to describe this place :Delicious!! The cafe is located at Hazratganz. The cafe is neat and clean with soothing ambience and is famous for the basket chaat, which by presentation itself looks delicious. The Basket chat consists of edible basket, dhai, tikki,namkeen etc. A must visit place if you are chaat lover or visiting lucknow.
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
Must visit place in Lucknow!β¨The basket chat was awesome contains dahi wada with aloo tikki and lots of sweetened dahi topped with exotic spices.The garnishing was superb, quality of food was good, ambience was good, however there is no private sitting arrangements here but you can sit outside the shop, there is a space out there. The behaviour of the manager were good, buy can be improved π I couldnt meet hardayal maurya, but enjoyed the chat. Will recommend basket chat here!β¨β¨π
Been here many times and I literally love this place for basket chaat. With the basket chat they also give digestive paste which is also yumm.If u like chaat do try palak patta chaat too it is yum and the quality is also too much for a single person. It is located very near to metro station hazratganj.Tried gol gappe also but didnβt like it.
DO NOT GO THERE. DO NOT EAT THERE. DO NOT ORDER FROM THERE.This place used to be must visit place on almost every lucknow visit. But my last experience was terrifying, horrifying. I ordered red sauce pasta from Royal Cafe (NOT ROYAL ANYMORE) and I found some hair in pasta. By the time I found this in a spoon, we (me and my family) ate almost all of the pasta. The very next day (within 10 hrs to be precise) we were going through vomiting, severe stomach ache and frequent visits to the washroom.Pathetic food quality.
It was good. I tried basket chat which was way too sweet for my liking. I like spicy food and everything was too sweet. Yogurt was sweet and sweet chutney was loaded. It made it overall very sweet. I wish they asked about my preference before making it if i like sweet our spicy. They should give that option.
They are famous for their Katori chaat, bit overly priced with Rs. 230/- per plate. Its of good taste like authentic Delhi Chat, all fried ingredients made up of ghee. Single plate is too much for a single person to finish but easily can be good for two person. Highly recommended.
Amazing food. With international level of hygiene. There is bit parking issue. But overall very delightful.
One of the best restaurants in Lucknow. And affordable too. Try the red sauce noodles hereπ
The food is delicious, and for all the ΰ€ΰ€ΰ₯ΰ€°ΰ€Ύs out there, this place is a must try. Of course, nothing beats the taste of street food, but if you want a place where you have all of Lucknows special street foods, and you are okay with the high-ish prices (when compared to street food), then you will love the place. Also dont forget to have the Basket Chat, which is a unique speciality to the shop!
I had lunch yesterday. The food was very good but one thing that I noticed was that they were not providing drinking water. On all the tables, water bottles costing Rs 62 were there. I lodged a verbal complaint with the manager that this is not fair. Atleast the restaurant should provide potable water and if the customer insists then only mineral water be given and they may be told that it is chargeable.Not appreciated.
I tried their famous Basket Chat and the presentation was horrible see for yourself. The waiters were rude and fickle minded and didnt pay attention. We were four people and ordered drinks, 1 sprite and 3 cokes. He got us 1 coke and 3 sprites and when we said to change he refused and then keep asking other waiters and staff about it then changed it. The guy who served us kebabs accidently hit the glass with his hand and the glass almost toppled down. And instead of saying sorry he was showing eyes as if we did something wrong. I had Zomato pro so that I could get 20% off. The manager was okay with it but some waiter insisted on card payment again and again. I said okay but I want 20% off on card. Then he went away. We gave our feedback to the manager and he was sorry for them. Ask your staff to be humble and treat the customers kindly. Also the washroom wasnt clean. You can have all the good food but service should be good.
The food is one of the best in Lucknow. Their Veg varieties are something you will crave for once you get the taste for it.
Good place with great food. The chat can be better. Too sweet to be called chat
The ambience of restaurant is good but can be better on some of the food items. The basket chaat is good and must try when visit there
I had seen about this place on YouTube.Trust me it was worth visiting the place if youre fan of Chaats! I did try the palak chat and at the cost they are providing it is a good deal!!Also the Kanjivada was filled with the topping of Hing! A must try if you are having a heavy dish, will definitely ease your acidity.Though there most famous dish is yet to be tried, hopefully next time indeed!But a delicacy for sure for your evening appetite.
I went to this place to have the famous basket chaat but it was not upto my expectations. The basket chaat was overpriced and not tasty. You can find better basket chaat at any other places upto Rs. 100. Try in alambagh Rohit chaat, raj luxmi & gajanan. You wont feel cheated there. At Royal cafe after waiting for my turn to get chaat which was tasteless the waiter demanded tip of not less than 50 over and above rs 263 which is the price of basket chaat here.
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
Good place to enjoy evening with friends as you get very spicy and chatpata food to fill your tummy. Located in the side of main road near Hazratganj metro station. No sitting arrangements...you have to eat standing in the outside. Usp is basket chaat @βΉ200/ plate. Good sell and large crowd is very difficult vto manage
I have a good experience having dinner in this restaurant. But, I have one suggestion for the waitress, please be more polite. Please see and imitate the politeness of the security guard standing in front of the door of the restaurant. He is very polite.If the other waitress can be more polite, this restaurant can be perfect.
Famous eatery in Lucknow...try basket chaat. They have awadhi, northern, southern, continental and chinese cuisines. Try cold coffee in beverages
Excellent food, service, even has a clean toilet.Everything was on ground floor, so was good for my 83 year old mother. Only problem we faced especially because we were in a hurry - it took time to serve, maybe because of Sunday rush
Really bad food, kadhai paneer me tamatar hi tamatar bhar rkhe hai. The staff was very rude to us.The service was delayed, though for no fault of the waiters who had to cater to an overloaded restaurant. However, despite pointing out the lacunae in the service and the quality of the food, the response was along the lines of Thats the way its made here in Royal Cafe. Just an acknowledgement that they may have messed up wouldve been enough, but galti maan ni hi nahi hai apni inko π.
I wish you all as lucky as to meet #Royal_cafe_wale_chaha...., he is really nice to the every customer. And just because of his behaviour, their dishes made soo much rich and more delicious....But, dont try pani poori overthere...
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 itβs 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
Visited Royal Cafe after a gap of nearly 2 yrs. Basket chat quality and test both decreased now. Other two more items Vege Chowmien n Chole-bhature were So-so.
Yummy π Fast food. I love basket π§Ί chat the taste of basket chat is too delicious. The royal cafe is neat and clean. If you love fast food then you visit that place.
Bakwas chaat dont visit... Hollow place with outside full of grace
Delicious Basket chat and Pani puri , variety of icecream .
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.
Had the all time famous BASKET CHAT...to be honest, the taste was good and above average if it has ro be rated. The taste felt to be a bit over rated though the quality of ingredients used was definitely of the best quality. Had a good time! Good only for a once in a blue moon snack occasion visits.
I must say the place is nice plus the food however the waiters are very annoying they wont leave the table till you pay them some tips even if u give according to your will they will still keep asking for more which was really disappointing to me and hence the experience went down while leaving. And also having pani puri from this cafe was our biggest mistake ever. Plz refrain π π Basket chat is must try, yummilicious and delicious π
Menu is good. Prices are reasonable. Location is great. Taste is above average. You will not be disappointed.
I have eaten basket chat many times its too good this time had oreo shake and it was damn good. And you can try lassi with mala rabdi and youll love it
It was heavily crowded in evening. I had thr katori chaat which was just wow,the best i have ever had. Kulfi were amazing too. Great place for snacks.
The basket chat is really rich in flavour
Very nice place for meal and snakes. It is in the middle of the market so you can shop and dine together.
Worst crowd ever...Nomore family hotel...Worst experience... π
Ambience is awesome, but if you ask for food, its mama-mia. Royal cafes 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.
More than what I was expecting. Must visit to have one of the best chaat / food experiences
Superrr tasty basket chat & kulfi and service is awesome..Hardyal ji is a super Star of this placeβ€οΈ
Royal cafe has maintained their taste and quality hands downItβs undoubtedly our family first choice whenever we crave for chat and batasha.anjer halwaThe taste is so worth it and the location is so good.A place once must visit if you are in Lucknow
I love eating food in this restaurant,fruit chatt yummii
Must try Dal pakhtooni and Veg Handi Biryani
Food is very tasty. Very reasonable cost.
I was expecting a whole different experience of chaat but it was just run of the mill. Too much of sweetness from sweet dahi and meethi laal chutney. The chatpata flavour of masalas was missing.The presentation was good.
Great taste. Itβs worth trying once and it justifies the taste it is famous for. For 200 Rs full plate is easily sufficient for two people. A single person cannot complete it. Good taste at good price.
This place is really awsome & basket chat is sooo deliciousππ
Good chaat but there are better ones in lucknow.
Verry verry Good experience . Must visit and must try the Chinese .
Tried their Basket Chaat and it was very tasty and yummy. And must say it was really worth it.
My second visit here and the place lived up to my memories from the last time... The Galawati kabab was as soft, succulent and tasty ...The place itself is nice and well maintained. The staff is courteous and attentive to every customers need.Once again added to my list visit list.
Awesome place for foodies. You have multiple options to eat. only veg food available.
