Oudhiyana at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Lucknow is an absolute gem. The restaurant captures the essence of Awadhi heritage with its beautiful decor and warm ambiance. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with exceptional hospitality, especially from Soumya, who went above and beyond to make our evening special. The highlight of our meal was definitely the Raan Mussalam. The lamb was so tender and packed with rich, aromatic flavors that it just melted in our mouths. Soumya recommended it, and it did not disappoint! For dessert, we had the Shahi Tukda, which was a delightful mix of saffron-infused bread and creamy rabri. It was the perfect end to our meal, sweet and indulgent. One of the unique features of Oudhiyana is the live music. The soft tunes of traditional Indian instruments playing in the background added a magical touch to our dining experience. It really felt like we were transported to a royal court of the Nawabs. Oudhiyana is more than just a meal, it’s an experience. With its fantastic food, amazing hospitality by Soumya, and enchanting live music, it’s a place we’ll definitely return to on our next visit to Lucknow.
