Pune is one of
modern India’s most planned cities, and there are plenty of places in the city
where you can indulge your taste buds. While there is no lack of posh eateries
in Pune, a visit to this city is incomplete if you do not relish the local food
at some street joints. Make no mistake of missing out on these as Pune has some
of the most scrumptious street food on offer.
For once, let
your love for the fancy restaurants take a breather, as you revel in the best
street foods in Pune at the following joints.
Bites Inc., Wanowrie
Food trucks have
become quite popular in Pune, and Bites Inc. is at the forefront of the food
truck movement in the city. Be it biryanis, kebabs, or tikkas, you can get them
all at Bites Inc., and that too at incredibly cheap prices. The assorted kebab
platter here is worth dying for, thanks in particular to the live barbeque,
which is quite a treat to behold. Individual plates of kebabs cost just Rs.
100, while a biryani and kebab combo would set you back by only Rs. 150. Need
any more reason to give Bites Inc. a try?
Buddha’s Food Palace, NIBM Road
Another
frontrunner in the food truck movement, Buddha’s Food Palace is a delight for
Thai food enthusiasts who want to eat out on a budget. The eatery proves that
you don’t need to spend a fortune at an expensive restaurant to enjoy famous
Thai recipes such as the Thai Red Curry and Thai Basil Chicken. The fact that
the owners spent a lot of time growing up in Thailand only adds to the
authenticity of the Thai dishes served here.
Bittoo’s Chicken, East Street
When done right,
Chicken Tandoori is simply a tantalizing treat for the taste buds. However, a
lot of Pune restaurants don’t get their Chicken Tandoori right. But there are
no such worries when it comes to Bittoo’s Chicken on East Street. The roadside
joint is an everyday affair that starts after 8 in the evening, and is
frequented by Chicken Tandoori enthusiasts from all parts of the city. Take in
the aroma of the roasted chicken, and you would be licking your lips at the
thought of what it would taste like. The Malai Chicken Tikka is a crowd favourite
too. Affordable prices and lip-smacking Chicken Tandoori; what more could a
foodie want?
Narangi Baug Lane, Dhole Patil Road
Narangi Baug
Lane becomes a home to some of the best street foods in Pune every evening
after 7. But it is most famous for ‘Chacha’ and his delicious kebabs. Ask
anyone about ‘Chacha’ here, and they would tell you what a legend the man is.
His beef and chicken kebabs have been popular for over three decades, and the
popularity isn’t about to die down anytime soon. What makes the kebabs even
more appealing are the prices, which start at an incredibly cheap Rs. 60 per
plate.
