Now that Navaratri is over, here’s a list of 6 best Chicken Shawarma places in Lucknow

Navaratri is finally over and with them the temporary vegetarianism we had been following is over as well. A nine days’ fast is enough to make us non-veg lovers hungry for a big dose of meat. So after you've had your fill of tunday ke kebab and lalla ki biryani, get a dose of meatiness with a thick shawarma roll.

We love food that can be turned into a roll and a shawarma roll is our city's recent obsession. So if you've been looking to chomp down on a good shawarma, have a look at our list of 6 places shawarma places around the city.

1. Mr. Shawarma

Mr. Shawarma is probably the best shawarma place in the city and the people in and around Indira Nagar will tell you the same. The biggest thing about this shawarma is that the bread is a soft pita version used specifically for the dish. While the filling is saucy, a little tangy because of the pickles and bursting with savoury flavours, the chicken isn't greasy or weird smelling like most shawarma places.

This is a shawarma that will not disappoint you, especially at the given price point.
