Best Food in Aurangabad

"Mutton fell off the bone without any effort — I just touched it and it separated. The onion-khaskhas gravy is rich and oily but that's the point. Yellow turmeric naan is unlike any naan I've had. Left Aurangabad understanding why people say you can't leave without eating this."

🍽️ Naan Khaliya (Mutton) at Sagar Restaurant

"Crispy samosa under pulao under spicy tari — I've had misal pav and tari pav but never this combination. The samosa held its crunch longer than expected. Eat fast though. Genuinely found nowhere else in India."

🍽️ Tari Pulao Samosa at Trimurthi Appa Nashta Center

"Thicker and crispier than jalebi, no syrup inside — just dense fried urad dal with sweetness. The kanda bhajiya alongside was fresh and hot. Both made in front of you. Simple shop, no frills, excellent food."

🍽️ Imriti at Uttam Mithai Wala

"Desi ghee tikki with imli chutney and crushed paneer — no onion, no garlic, just the chutneys doing all the work. Reminded me of home cooking but better. The interior is comfortable and the malai lassi after was a good finish."

🍽️ Bole Tikki (Aloo Tikki Chaat) at Bala Chaat Center

"The paan leaf was so fresh the aroma hit before I even opened my mouth. Gulkand and shahi masala inside, silver vark on top. No branch, no franchise — just this one shop since 1970. The chocolate version is good but the original badshahi is better."

🍽️ Badshahi Sweet Paan at Tara Paan House

"The katori was so crispy I had to use real force to break it. Three chutneys, thick dahi, pomegranate, farsan — everything in one small bowl. Burst of flavours in every bite. Eat immediately, it softens fast."

🍽️ Katori Chaat at Krishna Chaat Corner & Juice Center

"The cornflake coating gives it a crunch that's different from regular fried chicken. Chicken inside was tender and juicy. Didn't need any chutney — ate it plain and it was complete. One of the best fried chicken I've had in Maharashtra."

🍽️ Ektaki Chicken (Aurangabad Fried Chicken) at CFC Shalimar

"200 years of making only peda and it shows. Moist, soft, intense mawa flavour, perfectly balanced sweetness. The shop looks like a house with a counter — no signage, no marketing. Just the best peda in the city."

🍽️ Peda at Nuss Appa Halwai

"Hot crispy jalebi with cold thick rabdi — this combination after a heavy dinner was perfect. Paneer butter masala was creamy and reliable. Place was packed at 8 PM, had to wait 15 minutes for a table."

🍽️ Jalebi Rabdi at Green Leaf Restaurant

"Three large vadas, golden and crackling outside, soft sabudana inside. The dahi-peanut chutney was the better of the two. Good for upvasa days too. Simple stall, fresh batches — nothing fancy but exactly what sabudana vada should be."

🍽️ Sabudana Vada at Local Sabudana Vada Stall
