“ ⭐ Yadav Hotel – The Roadside Delight on the Way to Lucknow! Tucked along the highway leading to Lucknow, Yadav Hotel is one of those classic roadside gems that every traveler remembers. Famous for its crispy tikki, hot jalebis dripping with syrup, rich, creamy rabdi, and that perfectly brewed desi chai, this spot is a treat for anyone passing by. The place has that old-school dhaba vibe — simple benches, cheerful chatter, and the comforting aroma of fried snacks and tea wafting through the air. It’s not fancy, but it’s full of warmth and authentic roadside flavor. Must-try: Rabdi–Jalebi combo & Masala Chai Location: On the Lucknow highway – an ideal stop for travelers ⭐ Rating: (5/5) – A taste of true highway hospitality! ”
“ Whenever you're traveling from Gorakhpur to Lucknow, this is a mandatory stop! The food is great, but the Rasmalai is a must-try. Absolutely delicious! ”
“ Good place for a quick stop and snacks. They have washrooms available. Samosas and tea was good. ”
“ Tea is good , samosa is also good but the non bio degraded items are thrown backside as well as the seating arrangement is not good ”
“ Yadav Hotel, on Ayodhya Road in Bhelsar near Loha overbridge, is a point to stop and get some snacks. You don't get food or meals or breakfast here so don't get confused with the word 'hotel'. This is a snack point which gets best ranking from me. The tourists passing through this road can halt here and enjoy some fresh and crunchy pakoras with fresh green chutney. Onion pakoras and paneer pakoras are best-sellers here. Besides this they also have samosas and aloo tikki with matar. Excellent, I must say. The best part is that pakoras do not look oily as we generally get in other shops. Reasonably priced you cannot miss any of the snacks that is available. Always fresh. How can I miss their rabri and rasamalai after enjoying hot pakoras. Almost every tourist can be seen relishing their sweets. During summers you also get fresh lassi too. They don't have a large menu but whatever is available comes with excellence. The best part is that Yadav Hotel has branch on both sides of the highway so you cannot miss it either while going to Ayodhya or while returning. This is my favourite destination whenever I am travelling to Lucknow or returning from there. When you are coming from Lucknow towards Ayodhya you can find Yadav Hotel around 90 kms. from new bus stand in Lucknow. Those who do not know about this place should try pakoras, samosas with hot tea or a bottle of soft drink. Taste rasmalai and get it packed for family members too. APPRECIATE: I highly appreciated their initiative to recycle waste empty plastic bottles. They have installed a vending machine for this task. SUGGESTION: In winters we would love to have hot milk (Kesariya, if possible) and icecream/kulfi in summers. But don't forget people coming from Lucknow will compare it to the iconic Prakash Kulfi in Aminabad area. So it might turn out to be a healthy and sweet competition which is good too. There is sufficient space for icecream corner in their hall. If services of some interior designer is taken they can re-design the dining hall with all facilities in place. Also, lemon tea would be a welcome addition in winters and iced tea in summers. They give very good lassi in summers. Many people with high sugar level are not able to enjoy this. Why not introduce namkeen (salted) lassi using black salt and crushed roasted cumin seeds (bhuna jeera powder) as well as buttermilk (chach). ”
