While Aminabad sleeps, our kadhai is already roaring. By six, the first khasta hits the plate — and by four in the afternoon, we are done. That is the whole, delicious story.
Real moments from our counter, kitchen and tables in Aminabad, Lucknow.
Durga Khasta Corner does one thing, from 6 AM to 4 PM, and has done it well enough to earn over 4,600 reviews: the khasta breakfast. Our kachori is rolled thick, fried slow and crushed open so the spicy aloo sabzi can find every flake.
The routine is sacred — dough before dawn, sabzi simmering by five, first customers at six. Shopkeepers opening their shutters, early commuters, food travellers ticking off Lucknow's breakfast trail — all of them end up at the same counter, dona in hand. Come hungry, come early.
A few reasons Aminabad keeps coming back to us.
The first khasta leaves the kadhai as Aminabad wakes up.
Rated 4.2 stars — one of Lucknow's most-reviewed breakfast spots.
Thick-rolled khasta, fried patiently for the perfect flake.
The aloo sabzi simmers from 5 AM — never reheated, never stale.
Unfiltered love from the people who eat with us every week.
“The 6 AM khasta at Durga is the best alarm clock in Lucknow. Crisp, spicy, gone too fast — the plate, not the morning.”
“4,600 reviews for a breakfast counter tells you everything. The khasta-sabzi here is Aminabad's pride.”
“Came on a food walk at 7 AM. Left planning my next visit. That aloo sabzi over crushed khasta is genius.”
Everything you need to know before you visit or order from Durga Khasta.
We open at 6:00 AM sharp, every day, and serve until 4:00 PM. The early morning batch is the crispiest, and weekends see queues forming soon after opening. Since we close by mid-afternoon, this is strictly a breakfast-and-lunch spot — plan your Aminabad visit accordingly.
The khasta kachori with aloo sabzi — thick-rolled, slow-fried khasta crushed open and topped with spicy sabzi that has simmered since dawn. With over 4,600 reviews and a 4.2-star rating, it is counted among the best breakfast plates in Aminabad, Lucknow.
No — our kitchen runs from 6 AM to 4 PM only, and we prefer it that way. Cooking in one focused shift keeps every batch fresh. If you cannot make it before four, take plain kachoris home; they reheat beautifully on a tawa the next morning.
Absolutely. Many customers pack khasta, samosas and jalebi for family breakfasts and office treats. Sabzi is packed separately so the khasta stays crisp. For larger morning orders — twenty plates or more — a quick call the previous evening helps us prepare your batch on time.
We are easy to reach — call, WhatsApp or just walk in.
