Many of the delicacies in Indore are so tasty that you end up having them on repeated basis till you have had enough of them!

Dal Baati / Baafla
The amazingly delicious Daal Baafla along with the Laddu that we all are so crazy about is actually a famous dish that was originated in Rajasthan.

Pick any famous joint in Indore on weekends and you’re sure going to have a mouth watering time!
Dhoklas
We don’t know about the young generations now, but rewind the time some 15-20 years back and Dhoklas were quite a rage in Indore. They were so famous that almost all of the bakeries and refreshment store used to pile them up in the evening time as they knew people will flock around their store to have them in the evening. Dhoklas are originally from Gujarat but as we know Indore has an art when it comes to making dishes better and we gradually made it more tasty and famous here!
Ragda Patties / Aaloo Tikki
Aaloo tikki is a must have for every Indori, if they are visiting Chappan or Sarafa. Many of you might not know this but originally, Aaloo tikki was Ragda Patties and Indori polished it out and made their own version of Aaloo tikki over the years. It was originated in Maharashtra and if you still want to have the authenticated Ragda Patties, you gotta go to Maharashtra. But Indore never disappoints and here you will have the best version of both Aaloo Tikki and Ragda Patties!
Masala Dosa
We all love Masala Dosa, don’t we! We can bet that many of you have them at least once a week, wither in your house or from your favourite joint! Masala Dosa is so popular in Indore that you will find many places serving them in the yummiest fashion! There are actually more north Indian people in Indore that serve you much tastier Dosa than the south Indians who are in to the business of serving them to you. Well, this explains why Indore just rocks when it comes to Food!
