Tunday Kababi

Our place is in the Vivek Complex over in Aliganj, Lucknow. We are near the Novelty Cinema in the Kapoorthala area. If you know the 226006 zip code, you know this part of town is usually buzzing with activity. We have been serving kababs here for quite a while now. People in Lucknow know their food, so we just try to keep up the tradition as best as we can. It is a straightforward restaurant with simple seating. We do not use fancy tablecloths or anything like that. The kitchen is where all the real work happens. We spend hours grinding spices and preparing the meat so it is soft. It is a lot of physical work and the kitchen gets very hot during the summer. We have a few guys who have been with us since we opened the doors. Most of our customers are locals who live nearby or people coming out of the cinema after a show. The weekends are the hardest because the crowd does not stop until late. We do not do any big promotions. Word of mouth is how most people find us. Sometimes we have to tell people to wait because we ran out of a certain batch, but they usually understand. It is a family-run kind of thing. We just focus on the food and making sure the shop is open on time every day.
