Gurugram is that kid from the block who is always coming up with something new. Aptly tagged as The Millennial City, Gurugram, in time, has acquired the status-quo of a hub for almost everything from shopping malls to multiplexes to a glitzy/vibrant nightlife. For food lovers, this means amazing options for street-food. Here’s a detailed walkthrough for foodies who want to explore the flavours of the G-Town!
Let’s start with some breakfast options:
If you love chole bhature, you would have already heard of this place. But this one isn’t for the faint-hearted. Try this joint in Old Gurgaon only if you can handle football-sized bhature that more-than satiate your hunger pangs. The lip-smacking taste is bound to keep you coming back for more!
Average Cost for Two: Rs 200
Timings: 8 am - 10 pm
This is the place to be for those mid-day tea cravings! Savour a hot cup of tea with the perfect tea-snack, pakodas. Arguably the best street food joint in the city, Gandhiji Pakode Wala offers your favourite gobi pakoda, paneer pakoda, palak pakoda, pyaaz pakoda, aaloo pakoda and more, spiced with garam masala or chaat masala.
Average Cost for Two: Rs 100
Timings: 9 am - 10 pm
When it’s time for lunch, there’s nothing better than a finely rolled Dosa. Choose from an extensive South Indian menu or pick from their Chinese options . We highly recommend trying the dosa variants that are served here with what can be called the best sambhar in the city.
Average Cost for Two: Rs 300
Timings: 10 am - 8 pm
Grab India’s go-to evening snack at Gurugram’s favourite hangout zone. Add a dash of ‘cheesy’ in your life with the delish cheese momos served here. The servings are steamed (or fried, if that’s your thing). Try it once and thank us later!
Average Cost for Two: Rs 400
Timings: 10:30 am - 11 pm
Let your taste buds run wild on Kathi Rolls from this joint! One trip to this eatery will turn your occasional evening-snacking into an addiction with the long list of rolls, burgers and momos available at this roll-joint (pun intended). The best part is they serve till 4.00 am. Now you know where to head after a crazy clubbing sesh!
Average Cost for Two: Rs 450
Timings: 11am - 4 am
Serving authentic Chinese food in Gurugram is Sikkim Chinese Food Corner! The menu has all the favourites offered at decent prices and with a dash of spice. Don’t let its tiny infrastructure fool you. The massive flavours on your plate can give even the biggest Chinese food chains a run for their money!
Average Cost for Two: Rs 400
Timings: 11 am - 10:45 pm
If non-vegetarian is your choice of food, a freshly prepared Tandoori Fish here is a perfect option for dinner! The fish corner provides authentic marinated white-fish that goes with catfish, orange roughy and tilapia. Ingredients like vinegar, ground coriander, thick catfish fillets and garlic cloves leave a lasting flavour. Add red pepper and lemon juice to make it even better.
Average Cost for Two: Rs 400
Timings: 5 pm - 11 pm
End your day on a sweet note with a trip to King’s Kulfi and ice cream parlour. This one-stop destination for frozen desserts offers exotic as well as natural ice cream flavours apart from the usuals. There’s an option available for every mood. No wonder the place is unusually crowded even during winters!
Average Cost for Two: Rs 150
Timings: 11 am - 11 pm
