In the city of tehzeeb, LFC Lucknow brings more than just kebabs and kormas—we gather to share dum, stories, and second helpings. Bring your best dish, or just your andaaz. There’s always a seat at the daawat.

What Members Said

It was impressive to taste  the amazing food—the orange cake and orange peel curry were both exceptional, and the banana peel curry was really good too. Let’s make this community stronger and get more people on board.

MEET YOUR HOST

Ayushi Sinha was born and brought up in Lucknow. A fashion designer by profession, her true love language is food, and cooking is more of a wind down ritual than a hobby for her. Lucknow, named the creative city for Gastronomy by Unesco, has always fascinated her with its different cuisines and cultures. Through the Local Food Club she hopes to meet and connect with like minded people in her city who share her passion for food.

What is your most enduring food memory?

Having late night tea and bun makkhan at any local tapri in my city. It’s a very Lucknawi thing to go out for late night tea and bun makkhan strolls—to chat and connect with friends.

Minced meat gravy kebab known as Majlisi kebab. Kebabs usually meant solid ones, before I tried and loved this gravy filled one.

I think I’d be karonda, which is tangy and sour in the beginning but eventually turns sweet as the berry matures over time.

My comfort food is Chuda Matar which is a variation of Poha but cooked in the Varanasi region with peas, ginger, and lots of ghee.

People in Lucknow seem to have a connection over food, so hopefully they join us to make it a bigger family. Lucknow takes time to accept things, but once it does there is no going back. Hopefully the city warms up to this concept soon.
