Raja Thandai Chowk (Est. 1936): The Royal Kesar Badam Herbal Brew of Old Lucknow

The Royal Cooler of Gol Darwaza: Raja Thandai

Standing proudly beside Gol Darwaza in Chowk since 1936, Raja Thandai has refreshed generations of shoppers, nawabs, and statesmen with its Ayurvedic, herb-infused chilled thandai.

Ground on traditional stone sil-batta to extract the natural essential oils of seeds and nuts, this fragrant golden drink is the ultimate natural refreshment after a long heritage walking tour through Old Lucknow.
