Lucknowi Bawarchi Khane

“Lucknowi Bawarchi Khane” is a celebration of Lucknow's diverse culinary tradition, from bustling street food eateries to home kitchen recipes cherished for generations. Through this exhibition, we honour the personal stories and experiences of the people behind these food establishments and of home chefs, providing insight into their contributions and their lives.

The exhibition explores generational stories and the rich tastes of Lucknow's street food culture. The collection of eateries, from humble cubby-holes to bustling thelas, each has its own unique charm and culinary legacy. We also discuss the personal histories and passions of the owners who keep these traditions alive. Lucknowi Bawarchi Khane not only highlights the city's street food, but also celebrates the lives of the families who have made these much loved establishments an experience to remember.

Lucknowi Bawarchi Khane also focuses on the lives of our home chefs, documenting their homes, kitchens, and legacies through their personal stories. It explores cherished family recipes and kitchens of the home chefs, basking in the warmth of Lucknow’ Dastarkhwaan and familiarising us with the flavours and aromas of Lucknow.
