Local Insights & Tips
Lucknow is known for its 'Tehzeeb' (etiquette and hospitality). A polite 'Aadaab' (a traditional greeting) is always appreciated. Embrace the slow pace of life and savor the rich conversations. Don't rush your meals; Awadhi cuisine is meant to be enjoyed leisurely. Be open to trying different types of street food, as each vendor often specializes in a unique dish. The city truly comes alive after sunset, with many food stalls and markets remaining open late.
