pravasavarnana: A foodie's heaven

Lucknow is currently seeing an inflow of chain restaurant. In 2007 Barbecue Nation was one of the first concept chain restaurant which had opened in Lucknow. More than a decade since then Lucknow is seeing many more chains coming to Lucknow including the popular names like Farzi Café, The Beer Café, The Bombay Brassiere, Pirates of the Grill etc. including the recent entrant like Molecule Air Bar.

Many local outlets have also tried their hands on the concept of Buffet, Barbecue and Live Grill, some of them are successful and some just sad copies.

The GT Road Lucknow (short for the Grand Trunk Road) is the latest entrant in this concept section. The concept chain owned by Bright Hospitality Pvt. Ltd. has numerous outlets across the Northern part of India and many of you living in cities like Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Delhi NCR etc. would be familiar with this outlet.

The Grant Trunk Road or GT Road (2700 km) is one of Asia’s longest and oldest roads – east end being Chittagong (Pre independence Bengal, now Bangladesh) and west end being Kabul in Afghanistan. The road passes through major Indian, Pakistani, Afghanistani and Bangladeshi cities including Chittagong, Dhakha, Purnea, Patna, Varanasi, Agra, Delhi, Panipat, Ambali, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Torkham, Kabul etc. Sher Shah Suri who had revived this Mauryan era road was responsible for the concepts of Sarais (similar to the modern day motels) and Dhabha (road side eating joints), which in turn lead to some exciting dhabha cuisine styles.

The GT Road Lucknow is located on ground floor in Rohtas Summit, Gomti Nagar – same location where one would find the Farzi Café, the Beer Café, The Drowning Street, Bombay Brassiere and soon opening Barbecue Nation (another outlet). There is ample parking space available and its easy accessible.
