Kanpur has its own Ramzan ritual, and it begins with the hunt for the perfect khajoor! From the bustling lanes of Naya Ganj and Nai Sadak to Acharya Nagar's famous Khajoor Street, and the iconic Khan Dates on Mall Road, this city knows its dates like no other. Local favourites or premium Middle Eastern varieties, these spots never miss!
Ask any Kanpuriya about Ramzan and soot pheni, and they'll point you straight to Sisamau Bazaar and Beconganj, no second thoughts! These iconic markets have been dishing out this light, feathery sehri favourite for generations, and every Ramzan, they come alive like never before. Some traditions just never get old!
No Ramzan pantry is complete without a solid stash of dry fruits, and Kanpur has just the spots for it! The bustling lanes of Nayaganj's Sakkar Patti Road, Birhana Road, and Kidwai Nagar's Baradevi Road are where the city flocks every year to stock up on the good stuff.
When Ramzan comes around, the aroma of freshly baked sheermal and naan is simply impossible to resist! Kanpur's Old City areas like Talaq Mahal, Patkapur, and General Ganj are where it's all happening, from melt-in-your-mouth sheermal and taftan to fluffy naans and parathas. Haji Ji Sweets, Ali's Bakers, and local street tandoors make every sehri and iftar feel truly special!
Breaking your fast with just anything? Not in Kanpur! Haandi House in Jajmau serves up soulful Mughlai flavours that hit different after a long fast, Vybe Coffee House & Kitchen in Civil Lines brings its own Ramzan magic, and Zoony's Kitchen in Chamanganj has the kebabs, biryani, and haleem to make you drool! And for that raw, street-style Iftar energy, Chamanganj, Beconganj, and Moolganj are always where it's at!
Skip the mall this Eid and go where the real shopping happens!
