What’s better than a rainy Lucknow afternoon? A long, lazy drive through monsoon-drenched streets, the aroma of wet earth hanging in the air and finally landing at Hazratganj SOCIAL to dive headfirst into a feast that feels like a warm hug. This season, SOCIAL has unveiled The Big Drop, a menu expansion that’s hitting all the right notes.
With 60+ crowd-favourite dishes and drinks across India, Hazratganj SOCIAL now brings playful flavours to the table! And if you are wondering where to begin, we have picked 5 comforting plates for your rainy-day mood in Lucknow.
Tomato Soup with Tempura Boondi & Cheese Toast
Warm, velvety tomato soup tangled up in a crispy tempura boondi, served with a Naga chilli cheese toast for that subtle fiery kiss. It’s nostalgia, comfort, and a little chaos in a bowl, just like Lucknow in monsoon.
Cost: ₹280
Soupy Shrimp Momos
‘Shrimply’ irresistible, delicate, hand-folded momos bobbing in a steaming, flavour-packed broth. Best slurped while rain taps on SOCIAL’s windows and chai drinkers look on enviously.
Cost: ₹450
Pakoda Party Platter
Nothing screams monsoon like pakoras. Chilli, potato, cauliflower, onion, and brinjal – this deep-fried squad turns your chai-time craving into a full-blown group celebration. Perfect for sharing or selfishly devouring solo.
Cost: ₹350
Nihari Mutton Ramen
This is where Old Delhi crashes into Tokyo in one madly delicious bowl. Slow-simmered nihari broth swirling with silky ramen noodles, a jammy egg and tender mutton chunks. Comfort meets heritage, slurp by slurp, only at Hazratganj SOCIAL. Sounds bonkers yet brilliant, doesn’t it?!
Cost: ₹495
Cutting Chai and Khaari
Flaky, buttery Khaari biscuits meet a steaming hot cup of masala chai, at SOCIAL. A dunk, a crumble, and that melt-in-the-mouth bite you cannot stop going back for. It is the ultimate chai-time gossip snack!
Cost: Cutting Chai ₹90, Khaari ₹110
