Street food in India has been a mainstay of tourism for a very long time. Almost all visitors to the country will at some point or the other indulge in the amazing variety of street food that is on offer. Not just international tourists, domestic travellers also ensure that no trip to a new city is completed without a food tour along the busy streets.

This phenomenon is not just confined to tourists. Street food vendors have their regular clientele who form part of the city’s workforce for whom this cheap, wholesome food is a blessing in their otherwise hectic lives. Whether it is a quick bite in the form of a vada pav or a treat in the form of a nice warm gulab jamun, the streets of India cater to one and all.

Many cities in India have dedicated areas for street food like Indore, Delhi and Bengaluru while others like Mumbai have a street food counter at every corner. While chaats are the most prevalent form of street food, this has now evolved into dosa counters, sandwich shops, ice cream stands and many many more. The choice for a person is endless and some budding entrepreneurs have built successful businesses around the street food phenomenon.

Another reason for the explosion in the consumption and proliferation of street food is social media. Almost every other person on Instagram is a food blogger now and they keep searching out new and unique vendors to showcase on their channels. They focus on the store, provide publicity and essentially do the marketing for the otherwise clueless vendor. In return, most of these bloggers do not take money but satisfy themselves with a free meal and a ton of likes and shares.
