Itinerary
You will be picked up from your hotel in the evening and driven to Sheesh Mahal for dinner. You will be met by the Nawab on your arrival, if he is in residence. A traditional meal based on family recipes handed down from generation to generation will await you. Essentially, the recipes are from Awadh, which got influenced by the traditional cuisine of the Royal Houses of Hyderabad and Rampur following inter-marriages. The cuisine of Awadh is native to the city of Lucknow. Kebabs, Kormas, Pulao and rumali rotis are some of the key highlights of this cuisine. The menu is curated by the family itself and the meals are prepared by family cooks who have served for generations and the women of the house. This royal family has a long and illustrious culinary tradition and is known to be loyal to it even today. After dinner you will be driven back to your hotel.

About Lucknow
Lucknow, capital of Uttar Pradesh, is a city of Nawabi palaces, grand imambaras and refined Awadhi cooking beside the Gomti River.
Lucknow was the capital of the Nawabs of Awadh in the 18th and 19th centuries, who left a city of domes, gateways and gardens. The Bara Imambara, built in the 1780s, has a vast vaulted hall and an upper labyrinth, the Bhul Bhulaiya, and the Rumi Darwaza, a towering gate, stands nearby. The Chota Imambara, the Husainabad clock tower and the Residency, whose ruins carry the marks of the siege of 1857, complete a historic circuit.
