Paan has a long-standing love affair with the residents of Lucknow, for nobody prepares this palate cleanser better than the paanwalas of this city! This refreshment has enmeshed itself with the vibrant culture of the City of Nawabs, as the activity of paan chewing is intricately connected with tehzeeb and nafasat that runs in the blood of Lucknowites. Nurturing the fondness of betel leaf and areca nut amid the city dwellers, we have prepared a list of 5 paan places in Lucknow, where you can find refreshing flavours that have evolved over the years!
While the song 'Khaike Paan Banaraswala' prompted a popular paan culture in Varanasi, these paan variants have originated out of Lucknow. So if you are craving paan, then we suggest you satiate your cravings with a myriad of dramatic flavours, from any of the above mentioned 5 places.
