Indore Street Food Guide: What to Eat in Indore

Indore is one of India's great street-food cities. What to eat, where the famous markets are, and where to stay to be close to it all — plus how to save 15–25%.

Indore, a street-food capital

Few Indian cities take food as seriously as Indore. From morning poha to late-night sweets, the city is a non-stop food trail — and staying central, then booking direct on ZECOHO (a Zero-Commission platform), keeps 15–25% in your pocket for more of it.

What to eat in Indore

  • Poha–jalebi — the classic Indore breakfast, savoury and sweet together
  • Bhutte ka kees — grated, spiced corn, an Indore specialty
  • Garadu — fried, spiced yam, a cold-weather favourite
  • Sabudana khichdi and kachoris — everyday street staples
  • Shikanji — Indore's famous thick, creamy version
  • Sarafa's late-night sweets, chaat and desserts

Where the food is

  • Sarafa Bazaar — a jewellery market by day that becomes a buzzing night food market
  • Chappan Dukan — a lane of well-loved stalls and eateries, popular from morning onward

Where to stay for a food trip

The old city around Rajwada puts both Sarafa and Chappan Dukan within easy reach, so you can eat your way through Indore without long journeys between meals.

Why booking direct helps

The room is cheaper because the hotel isn't paying commission — you confirm with the hotel and pay on arrival, leaving more of your budget for the food.
