You look a bit more like traveler and a food lover too.

India is known for its variety of cultures and foods that changes from place to place. People like to explore and eat food which ever city they visit. Like every city Allahabad has also its different flavor of food and a unique feel when you roam around the places.

If you are looking for any special food item which you will not find anywhere else, then Allahabad will not end your search as it doesn't have any of its own unique food item. But, it has a uniqueness that you can find any food items here, especially the North Indian cuisines but with a typical “Allahabadi Style of Preparation” that makes the food unique and tasty.

I recommend to have a bite at these places if you ever visit Allahabad.

If you're in Allahabad and haven't tried their Puri kachauri, well then you haven't been in Allahabad yet. It is one of the oldest and finest sweets shop and famous for their kachauri as well. It is very popular among students as it is near to Allahabad University. All sweets here are made by using desi ghee that are very delicious to eat. You can have puri/kauchori which is their specialty. Even their Dahi bade are awesome. The samosas are much tastier and also other snackes items are very good. I am sure you’ll love to eat here and visit again and again.

If you’re a ‘chaat lover’, you should visit this place. They make it with desi ghee which makes a big difference and makes it unique. Their ‘Aloo tikki’, ‘dahi-sonth ke Golgappe’, ‘Papdi chaat’ and of course the ‘Gol gappe’ are just amazing. You’ll love to visit this place and thank me.

The items made from milk are also very popular and loving in Allahabad. If you like lassi, the best place is Rajaram’s shop. They offer thick and cold lassi and Rabri Kulfi too. Also, you can try Malaidaar lassi. One thing you should keep in mind before going to there that there is no seating arrangement, you can find the place always filled with people. The glass in which the lassi is served and the method of preparation are the two things which amuse everyone.

Basically, I am talking about Gulab Jamun which is locally called Rasgulla in Allahabad. Dehati Rasgulla is a purely dedicated shop of Rasgullas (I mean Gulab Jamun) and you will find a totally different taste of them, which you have never tasted anywhere else. Believe me, you’ll love the Gulab Jamun of this place. People are crazy for their Gulab Jamuns.

Hira Halwai is another sweet shop on the corner of the four lane road in civil lines area and is quite popular among all. It looks small but has great dishes to eat, it also has other stuffs too, it has great taste and is in shaded area. It offers few items but all are very tasty especially samosas and Gulaab Jaamun. People gather here for the samosas.

There are some other places as well which are famous for their food items like

This is the main center of attraction for all the tourists who visit Allahabad. A holy place and has cultural and historical presence in the Hindu mythology. Here, the river Ganga comes from one side and Yamuna from other and the three rivers meet at a same point; Ganga, whose water color is brown, Yamuna whose water color is green and saraswati which comes underwater and meet with these two rivers. The spot of meeting of the three rivers is called ‘Sangam’ the Saraswati river is believed to be invisible, so we can't see it. People can go to this spot by boat and get a bath. There is excellent presence of Migratory birds. This is place which Allahabad is famous for.
