Galouti kebabs are repeatedly praised for a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture and strong flavour.
Several Lucknow-born reviewers say the food recalls Lucknow, especially the kebabs, biryani and breads.
The biryani is described as flavourful but lightly spiced rather than overloaded with masala, making it approachable for children.
Jalebi is made to order, so diners can have it hot and crisp rather than softened after delivery.
Multiple diners mention quick service; one table received its nihari combo and chicken in 10–12 minutes.
The Nihari Kucha combo was reported to serve two people when paired with two extra kulcha.

Eat In. Order jalebi and sheermal for dine-in if you want them hot and crisp; one review says delivery affects their texture.
Add Raita. Have the Lucknowi biryani with its raita, which one diner said gives the best taste.
Check Availability. If you are visiting for a specific dish, check first, as a Friday diner found many menu items unavailable.
Plan Groups. The restaurant is small; contact it ahead if you are bringing a larger group because seating may need arranging.
Use Parking. RTA parking was reported directly in front of the restaurant, which may help when arriving by car.
Plan the visit
Reports include flies over plates and water, along with cockroaches in the washroom and dining area.
Some diners found the floor, washroom and handwash area dirty, with one report of a drain-water smell and flooding.
Food feedback varies sharply: some call the kebabs and biryani authentic, while others found dishes bland, oily or not fresh.
A diner said smoke from the kitchen entered the dining area and left a noticeable smell on the visit.
A Friday dinner visit found many menu items unavailable, so popular dishes may not always be in stock.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
New Lucknow Rasoi is a Lucknow-focused Awadhi restaurant in Al Nahda, with a menu that gives diners a clear way to explore the cuisine. The most consistently celebrated choices are galouti kebabs with paratha, Lucknowi biryani, nihari with kulcha and jalebi. The kebabs are often described as soft and flavourful, while the biryani is lighter on masala than many versions.
Jalebi is a standout for several customers, especially when eaten hot and crisp. One review says it is made to order, and another recommends eating it with biryani’s raita. Portions are not uniformly judged: one diner found a nihari combo generous enough for two with extra kulcha, while others felt kebab portions were small for the price.
Service is often described as quick and friendly, and the restaurant has been used by families. It is not particularly large, so larger groups should contact the restaurant ahead. RTA parking has been reported in front of the restaurant.
The main caution is consistency and cleanliness. Reviews mention flies, cockroaches, dirty washrooms and kitchen smoke reaching the dining area. Food opinions also range from authentic and delicious to bland, oily or not fresh, so checking availability and current conditions before a visit is sensible.
