Lucknow has officially been recognised by UNESCO as a City of Gastronomy, celebrating its rich Awadhi food traditions and deep-rooted culinary heritage

UNESCO's Creative Cities Network (UCCN), established in 2004, celebrates cities that have shown exceptional creativity in culture, arts, and, in this case, food.

From melt-in-the-mouth galouti kebabs to century-old culinary traditions, this city's love for kebabs is woven into its history, culture and everyday life.

Uttar Pradesh's food culture is rich and diverse, blending Mughlai, Brahminical, and local traditions across its vast geography.
