Since 1976 | Lucknow

From a humble beginning near the GPO in Hazratganj to becoming a recognised name for Dahi Bade, our journey is built on tradition, taste and the love of our customers.

Historical Lucknow Hazratganj 1976

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

A Simple Beginning. An Unforgettable Taste.

The story of GPO Ke Thandey Dahi Bade began in 1976, when Sant Ram Gupta ji started serving Dahi Bade near the General Post Office in Hazratganj, Lucknow.

There was no complicated formula. Just a commitment to making delicious food and serving it with care.

The unique combination of soft Dahi Bade, chilled dahi and balanced flavours gradually attracted customers from across Lucknow.

And slowly, a small food destination became a name people remembered.
