Dawood Besan Ki Roti For Some Delicious Vegetarian Flavours In Lucknow
Food blogger Priyank Srivastava (@lucknowi.safarkhana) posts about the best food and hidden culinary gems in Lucknow on his page. Recently, he covered a place called Dawood Besan Ki Roti, a little food cart stationed near Akbari Gate. Unlike most street food in the city, this place whips up only vegetarian food and offers delicious besan ki roti with flavourful chutneys.
Priyank shared that this food joint is one of the very few shops at Akbari Gate where people can enjoy pure vegetarian food. The besan ki roti is served with freshly made green chilli and coriander chutney and red chilli and garlic chutney. For the special masala besan ki roti, they have a spice mix and its ingredients are a secret! The best bit is that you can order Dawood Besan Ki Roti online and get it home-delivered as well.
Why You Should Try This Flavourful Roti?
Founded by Mohammed Javed, the eatery is named after his son, Dawood and was established in 2013. According to him, unlike most street food, the besan roti here is quite healthy and is especially good for people with diabetes. He recounted how a gentleman named Mohmmaed Ahmed guided him and helped him set up his business. They offer a range of besan rotis, starting at ₹20 and they are all quite crispy and flavourful.
