Four things to taste before you form any opinions about this city.

  • Naan QaliaOld city, lunchtime

    The city's signature: tandoor naan with a slow-cooked, gently fiery mutton curry.

  • Tara PanTara Pan Centre & rivals

    A dessert paan so famous people drive from other districts for it.

  • Hurda Party BhelSeasonal, ask a local

    Tender roasted jowar tossed with lime and masala — a winter-field ritual turned snack.

  • Sitaphal RabdiMithai shops, Sept–Dec

    Custard-apple cream from the orchards around the city. Autumn's best argument.
