Udaipur : Sukhadia Circle Food Market
The Vibe:A fountain, a roundabout, and everyone eating. 🌮
A large roundabout with a fountain at its centre, north of the Old City, that becomes the New City's evening gathering point. The food is local rather than aimed at visitors.
Stalls fire up as the light goes, and the smell of frying and roasting corn carries across the circle. Families sit on the surrounding lawns until late.
- The New City's main evening food gathering point
- Stalls trade in the evening rather than through the day
- Prices are local, and considerably below Old City tourist rates
- The fountain and lawns are a public space with no entry charge

- 🧳 Solo: "Easy to graze without committing to a restaurant."
