7 iconic Indian food cities worth a road trip
1/7
Delhi
From chaat in Chandni Chowk to butter chicken in Daryaganj, Delhi is a paradise for food lovers. Every lane offers something unique — parathas, momos, jalebis, and that unbeatable chai buzz. Don’t miss Karim’s near Jama Masjid for a taste of Mughlai history.
2/7
Mumbai
The city of dreams also serves up dreams on a plate. Try the classic vada pav, pav bhaji, and bhel puri at Juhu Beach or street stalls in South Mumbai. Add Irani cafés and seafood joints in Versova to your must-eat list.
3/7
Hyderabad
Few things unite India like Hyderabadi biryani. Aromatic rice layered with marinated meat and fragrant spices — it’s pure indulgence. Don’t stop there — try haleem, double ka meetha, and Irani chai at Nimrah Café near Charminar.

Amritsar
Amritsar’s food is comfort in its purest form. Start your day with Amritsari kulcha dripping with butter, sip on lassi in a steel glass, and end with langar at the Golden Temple. Food here is soulful, generous, and unforgettable.
5/7
Kolkata
Kolkata serves nostalgia on every plate — from kathi rolls on Park Street to rosogolla and mishti doi in traditional sweet shops. The city’s Indo-Chinese food scene is also legendary — a must-try for fusion lovers.
6/7
Lucknow
In Lucknow, every bite tells a royal tale. The melt-in-the-mouth galouti kebab, tunday kebab, and biryani are must-haves. Wander through Aminabad and Chowk for authentic Awadhi flavours that define India’s culinary heritage.
7/7
Kochi
Nestled along Kerala’s backwaters, Kochi blends spice, coconut, and seafood like nowhere else. Try Karimeen pollichathu, appam with stew, and Malabar prawn curry. The mix of Portuguese, Arab, and Kerala influences makes every meal a story.
