Gustatory delights are available in abundance to suit all appetites and wallets. The food canvas of the city stretches wide from quintessential poha-jalebi at roadside stalls to dal- bati (delicious Rajasthani dishes) at upscale Chokhi Dhani and Nakhrali Dhani. The famous Chappan Dukan (56 outlets dotting the city) serves any and every kind of cuisine. The thali (both limited and unlimited variety) has a special place in Indori hearts or shall we say tummies! Try them at Sayaji Hotels (near Agra-Mumbai Road, Tel: 552121/555632). The city is also famous for its chaat and other savouries (namkeen). For a quick bite, you have the all-too-familiar MacDonald's, Pizza Hut, Cafe Coffee Day, and Barista scattered all over the city. Besides, Hotel Shreemaya and President (Ravindra Nath Tagore Marg, RNT Marg) are some of the reputed hotels serving mouth-watering cuisine.

Indoris not only love to eat , but also love to don the apron and get the kitchen fires going to create gastronomical treats. So never refuse a lunch or dinner invitation at an Indori home.
