Not only do the residents of Jaipur enjoy its street food, but so do tourists. This thriving desert city boasts a wide variety of small-in-area but high-on-taste cuisine establishments to choose from. Street food sellers offering nearly everything, including a cold glass of lassi, a variety of kachoris, and kulfi faludas, are prevalent in the Pink City's winding pathways. Here is a list of some of the best street foods in Jaipur, along with information on where to pick them.
  1. Pyaaz Kachori- This is one of the local specialties of Jaipur and should never be missed. Although these kachoris are heavy in calories, their  taste is much more so.

  2. Gol Gappas- Everyone's (well, almost everyone's) favourite dish is the spicy wonder also known as puchka and paani-puri.

To determine which flavour of flavoured water goes best with the golgappas, try them all!                                                                                                                              Where to eat: Nand & Chawla’s at Fashion Street.
  3. 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. The delicious bun samosa is created by crushing the well-known Punjabi samosa and tucking it within a fluffy, soft salted bread. 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. The softness of the bun, the spiciness and sweetness of the chutneys, and finally the burst of tastes in your mouth will all be noticeable after just one mouthful of the snack.                                                                                                                                                                                      Where to eat: Setia Samosa and Shankar Samosa at Raja Park and Gulab Ji Chai Wale at Sindhi Camp.
  4. Lassi- Nothing can be better than a Lassi if you're seeking for a refreshing taste as a refreshment among the many selections for street food items. Every time you visit Jaipur, the sweet and rich drink will entice you with its flavour and texture. The beverage is presented chilled and in the earthen pots for aesthetic purposes. For the summer, this is a popular choice for many individuals.                                                        Where to try: Lassiwala at M I Road.
  5. Kulfi Faluda- Kulfi Faluda is one of the desserts that we Indians adore the most.
