“Ujjain” which is known as Mahakal ki Nagri or by google maps as city of temples is majorly famous due to Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga temple and Kumbh Mela which happens every 12 years. A random thought stuck my mind that every city has its own kind of specialty over food, So here I am bringing you curated list of places you must visit which was crossed checked by the locals of Ujjain for having great food
Its said when you visit Ujjain for the first time or you are about to start something new, the first thing is visit Mahakal and btw I did covered these places with a local influencer from delhi Rishabh puri
This was the first place in Ujjain to bring delicacy from Rajasthan with its thali of dal bafla which is sold upto 8pm everyday. Bafla is soaked in desi ghee and served on the side of dal, kadi, aloo sabji, lahsoon chutney, rice and its special churma ladoo with butter milk for digesting the food. This plate is priced at 180 rupees and is definitely a must visit place
Bhola Guru & Sons, Chota Sarafa
If you ask a local about lunch dine-in they will probably recommend you for Aloo Sabji Puri which is made in desi ghee and has been ruling over 90 years in the city, Bhola Guru and sons. Their 3rd generation is looking after this place and yet no changes have been made in the taste. 100 rupee plate has 5 puri, two types of sabji, raita and in house made mirchi besan pickle
Famous Kulfi wala, Gopal Mandir
A 75 year old shop at Gopal Mandir which is famous for selling freshly made kulfi in different flavors like kewda, pista, rabdi, sitafal kulfi at price of 30 rupess. You wont regret tasting these delicious kulfies.
Yadav doodh & Rabdi Bhandar, Pandribagh
A 150 year old shop at pandribagh, some people call this place “Rabdi wali aunty”. Mrs Kiran yadav is in her late 60’s supporting her family in every way she could and honestly speaking, no bragging but rabdi is literally top-notch, unbeatable . This place is the legit hidden gem.
PS: Visit this place after 3 PM, you will see that lady in action
Sawariyan Kachori, Dhaba Road
This shop is here for more than 30 years and sells mouthwatering dal kachori with tamarind and coriander chutney with cardamom on the top.
Bhola Guru & Sons, Chota Sarafa
A traditional Rajasthani sweet which is a maida dough ball deep fried and simmered in sugary syrup and melts down in mouth, you can easily feel the flaky texture and is a must have when you visit bhola guru.
