While Bangalore may not have as many dedicated eat streets as Delhi and Mumbai, the city is certainly no slouch when it comes to high-quality and affordable Indian food. There are stall-style markets, tiny street carts, and hole-in-the-wall eateries across the city, dishing up a wide variety of delicious and cheap street eats from all corners of India. This is perhaps a great way to fuel your exploration of this beautiful city. But, finding a good street food place can sometimes be a bit difficult, and more so, when you’re not familiar with the place. To make things easier for you, we’ve compiled a list of the best eat streets in Bangalore, India. Read on to find the best options for you.
1. VV Puram Food Street (from USD 184.0)

Also known as Khaau Gali in Hindi and Thindi Beedi in Kannada, it is a lively stretch filled with hole-in-wall joints, food carts, and stalls selling only vegetarian street food with North India, South Indian, and Chinese flair.

Finish off your gastronomic adventure with a fire paan (dried fruits, sugar, and betel-nut stuffed betel leaf lit on fire, literally!). The annual Avarekalu Mela (hyacinth beans fair), held here during winter (December or January) is a must-visit.
