Apart from the regular haleems and qubani ka meethas, there are several items indigenous to this food hub of Bengaluru you should definitely try. For meat lovers, there are several varieties — starting from lamb to chicken, rabbit, and even camel, the options are endless.

If you want to stick with non-vegetarian snacking options but are tired of chicken and red meat, there are shops which bring you exotic seafood savouries for you to explore.

You can awaken the food-monger in you with an assortment of kebabs, and then work your way up to specialty chicken and meat curries, naan or other Indian breads, and have a helping or two of biryani (which, too, comes in a myriad of varieties).

Once you are through with the main course, and are thinking of heading back to your respective homes… hark, and think twice. For your food-gasm stays incomplete without having a bite or two of something sweet. Indulge yourself in shahi tukdas, gulab jamuns, jalebis, and/or (however, it rarely is ‘or’ once you are in front of a sweet stall) traditional Bengali sweets like roshogolla and sandesh.
