Hey fellow Local Guides! 
Just got back from an incredible trip to Lucknow, and let me tell you, one place was absolutely non-negotiable on my foodie itinerary: the legendary Tunday Kababi @ Aminabadi! 
Nestled right in the heart of Aminabad’s vibrant chaos Market stall, this place isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a culinary institution with a history as rich as its flavors. For over a century, their melt-in-your-mouth kebabs, a secret passed down through generations, have been seducing taste buds, and now I know exactly why it’s a must-try in Lucknow’s food scene.
I even managed to chat with the manager there, and the story behind it is just fascinating! Apparently, it all started way back in 1905. The founder, who was fondly known as “Tunday” (meaning one-handed in local slang 
), developed this incredibly unique, slow-grinding technique. This is the secret sauce, folks! It’s what gives those kebabs that unbelievably smooth, almost ethereal texture. 
And the star of the show? The Galawati kebab. Oh. My. Goodness. 
This isn’t just a kebab; it’s pure artistry. Imagine finely minced mutton, lovingly marinated for days in a symphony of over 100 spices – I’m talking cardamom, clove, pepper, cinnamon, the whole aromatic orchestra! 
Then, it’s shallow-fried to this gorgeous, smoky char 
, and when it arrived at our table… wow. Each bite was an explosion of flavor, so tender it practically dissolved on my tongue. 
We paired it with the softest Rumaali Roti (almost thin like a handkerchief! 
) and a fragrant, rich Mughlai Korma (with that luscious gravy 
), creating a culinary experience I won’t soon forget. Seriously, that “melt-in-your-mouth” description? It’s not just a saying here; it’s the absolute truth!
But Tunday Kababi isn’t just about the Galawati, though it could easily stand alone! They also offer a truly delectable spread of other Mughlai delights. Think succulent biryanis 
, rich and aromatic korma curries 
, and other incredibly juicy kebabs like the Seekh and Shammi. Each dish tells a story of tradition and meticulous preparation.
Honestly, Tunday Kababi isn’t just a meal; it’s a legacy. It’s a living, breathing testament to Lucknow’s incredible culinary heritage, carefully guarded and passed down through generations. From its humble beginnings to the national recognition it enjoys today, Tunday Kababi is a delicious reminder that the most extraordinary flavors often come from the simplest, most heartfelt stories. 
So, my fellow food-loving Local Guides, if your travels ever take you to the City of Nawabs, Lucknow, promise me you won’t miss the chance to savor a piece of history at this iconic gem. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
