Sarafa Bazar

Top choice in Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh


This 300m-long nocturnal food-stall strip is a great experience, not just for the local taste sensations, but also for its friendly atmosphere. Come hungry and try what takes your fancy: two top local specialities to ask for are bhutte ka kees (grated maize sautéed with spices and herbs) and sabudana khichdi (soaked sago tossed with spices, herbs and crushed peanuts).

Follow the street along the south side of the Rajwada palace and you'll hit the strip within 200m.
