The streets are buzzing. A royal non-veg kitchen is entering — but who is it?

Something big is happening in Chatori Gali, Lucknow — the narrow street famous for its veg delights is now hiding a meaty secret. A certain corner has gone quiet but curious — a board was taken down, walls repainted, and since then, the gali has been whispering.

Is a Mughlai Giant Preparing to Enter?

From slow-cooked korma to sizzling kebabs, Lucknow’s Mughlai scene has always been sacred. But if rumours are true, a major non-veg brand — one with deep Mughlai roots — is quietly opening shop in Chatori Gali. But the big question is: which one?

Here are the top names people are speculating about:

1. Tunday Kababi

The king of kebabs. If Tunday is planning a grab-and-go outlet here, expect Galouti kebabs flying off the shelves every 30 seconds.

2. Dastarkhwan

Known for its Nawabi-style cooking. Some say the smoky aroma of handi mutton and kebabs from behind the shutter matches Dastarkhwan’s magic.

3. Rahim’s Nihari Khaas

This name keeps coming up in chai-point gossip. Could Rahim be launching a fast-service Nihari-Kulcha station in Chatori Gali?

4. Wahid Biryani

The biryani that defines old Lucknow for many. There’s strong buzz that Wahid might be testing a biryani & kebab combo outlet here.

5. Mubeen’s

Could this iconic name, known for sheermal and rich mutton dishes, be preparing something compact but flavorful?

6. Al-Baik (Desi)

Don’t confuse with the Saudi giant — this Indian Al-Baik is making waves in local meat-lovers’ circles. Quick fried chicken, spicy burgers, and Mughlai twists might just be the surprise entry here.

7. Mughal Zaika

Underrated but respected. This Mughlai specialist has been quietly gaining love. Could it be planning its breakthrough by entering Lucknow’s most footfall-heavy street?

8. Idrees or Lalla Biryani

A limited menu, pocket-friendly Mughlai biryani kiosk? Very possible. A perfect fit for Chatori Gali’s food-loving crowd.

Here’s What We Know So Far:

Workers have been spotted wearing Mughlai kitchen gear. A test batch of biryani and kebabs was reportedly cooked at night. A covered signboard appeared and disappeared in less than 24 hours. Nearby vendors are being very tight-lipped — but their smiles say a lot.

Why This Could Change Chatori Gali Forever:

Until now, Chatori Gali has been a haven for chaats, kulfis, and vegetarian flavours. If a non-veg Mughlai brand sets up base here, it changes the game.

This won’t be just another outlet — this will be a cultural crossover.

It means people could grab galouti in a kulcha, biryani in a paper box, or even fried chicken rolls — right alongside their paani-puri and falooda.

The identity of the brand remains hidden — but the signs are strong.

All eyes are on the closed shutter.

Whether it’s Tunday, Wahid, Al-Baik, or Mughal Zaika — Lucknow is watching.

And Chatori Gali is about to serve its most royal dish ever.

Stay tuned. We’ll reveal the name as soon as we get the first official confirmation.
