High Court Ki Jalebi
If you are seeking hot samosas and jalebi when you are in Old City, High Court Ki Jalebi is an answer to all your gastronomical prayers. Originally a tiny kiosk in front of the High Court, it grew to a significant size over 50 years but is still known as High Court Ki Jalebi (a name it gained because of its location. Its actual name is Jai Maajisa!). Apart from just this joint, there is a whole line-up of eateries next to each other that whip delicious samosa, kachori, jalebi, and khara.

The streets of Begum Bazaar are sure to draw you in with the aroma of chaat and pav bhaaji. Known as one of the best street food places in Hyderabad, we go here for Bread Pakodas and Raj Kachori at Sri Jodhpur Mithai Ghar. Try the ghevar at Begum Bazaar Chatri or tuck into some delicious dosa.

Madhura Nagar
The streets of Madhura Nagar come alive during the evenings. Want to grab manchuria at INR 20? Yeah, the street food is really that inexpensive here.

Koti
You must have heard of Gokul Chaat but Koti’s street food in Hyderabad goes beyond that. Walk down the same lane and pass the bookstores to find all kinds of crowd pullers. Be it snacky items like mirch bajji, samosa, and punugulu or lighter munchies like bhel and cut fruits. On sunny days, you can quench your thirst with fresh fruit juices and give in to your hunger pangs with more than varieties of dosas, puri, idly, and vadas. It won’t be difficult to spot these street side stalls as you will find foodies waiting for their plates, but Koti is a busy street so you got to be mindful of the oncoming traffic.

Charminar
Charminar’s food scene is as famous as its shopping scene (If not more) for all the right reasons. Amazing non-vegetarian Hyderabadi dishes? Check! Delish Mughali dishes? Check, check! Desserts like shahtoot malai? Yes! For our vegetarian friends, don’t miss out on dosas, Agra sweets, and crisp vadas. There’s something for everyone at Charminar and of course, Irani chai, Osmania biscuits, and bun maska await you.

Pragati Street
Pragati Tiffins near Kachiguda is a street food spot in Hyderabad that has made the surrounding Hanuman Tekdi streets famous too. Originally known for South Indian tiffins, now more spots have popped up for chaat, Telugu snacks, Gujarati snacks, and juices. This is a relatively calmer street as it’s not a main road so you can find parking easily here than other street food places in Hyderabad.
Price for two: INR 300 - INR 1,000
