Indore - Bustling home town

Indore is like my second home, not out of preference but because my maternal grandparents live in a town close to indore.

Nevertheless, I have grown to like it. It allows me to live a life which would be difficult to in a city like Mumbai.

However, currently, it is being flooded with investment from  real estate, 5 stars, malls, brand outlets to gyms. It seems to be a lucrative market.

Indore is famous for its indori chatpattas.

1) Sarafa - An area which you could visit late in the night even at 2-3 and it will satisfy your hunger. You should try the fariyali khichdi (indori version of sabudana khichdi ) - It makes sabudana also taste so good.

2) Chappan - Again, another food joint - you must try the kachoris, pattice from this street. My favorite is johnnys veg hot dog.

3) Mr. Beans - one of the new cafes. Could be compared to a Cafe Coffee Day. But really appetizing menu. Must go there. Next to Treasure Island Mall. I just recently went back and sadly it is shut down!!

4) You can visit choukhidani and nakhrali dani.

Basically indore is a foodies paradise - but very rajasthani, marwari, chatpatta food not conrtinental.

One of the fancy membership club opened there is Sayajis - which has bowling also.

There is a place close by called Mandava nearby which has historical sites.  I really admired the Jahaz Mahal or the ship palace as it resembles a ship floating on water.

A little bit of history and a lot of food sums up pretty much of Indore.
