Here is a list of some of the best street foods in Jaipur, along with information on where to pick them.

Bun Samosa- This well-known street cuisine in Jaipur is easy to make and insanely delicious, and it appeals to both young and old groups. This is a grab-and-go snack that is available from street food vendors in Raja Park, Jaipur, for breakfast and tea.

Spicy mint chutney and sweet tamarind chutney are spread on both sides of the bun. Some people insist on liberally spreading butter on their food to improve the flavour.
