Back to Lucknow

Aminabad and nearby Chowk form the heart of old Lucknow, a maze of markets, food lanes and historic buildings that have been the centre of the city’s trade for centuries. This is where you will find chikankari embroidery, attar perfume shops, famous kebab houses and sweet shops that have been run by the same families for generations. For Myra members, old Lucknow offers a memorable, flavourful setting for a first or second date. Introductions here often include people from Chowk, Lalbagh, Nazirabad, Wazirganj and Rakabganj. The area is busy from morning until late at night, and it can be overwhelming for anyone who is not used to it. That is why many members suggest meeting at a well-known shop or landmark and then choosing a calm place to sit. Food is the main attraction, from kebabs to kulfi, and sharing a meal at a famous old restaurant is a classic Lucknow experience that gives you plenty to talk about. The old city is also home to monuments such as the Bara Imambara, a short ride away, which can be added to a longer outing in daylight. The market was established in the eighteenth century by Imdad Hussain Khan Aminuddaula, and its Jhandewala Park was a key meeting ground during the independence movement.

Getting around

Charbagh and Hussainganj stations on the Metro Red Line are nearby. E-rickshaws are the easiest way through the narrow market lanes; cars struggle with traffic.
