No Indian can survive without street side stalls. Foodie that we undeniably are, we have an special place for chats and snacks, especially sold on those small stands and vehicles, with invariably long queues and crowds awaiting their turn for the mouth watering offerings.

Hyderabad, this city of Nizams and monumental wonders, lures you with its awesome food too. Nawabi cuisine is definitely alluring but the street food here is what takes you heart away. We all know about chat houses such as Gokul and Maharaja Chat (of course a must for those on a trip to Hyderabad) but it is the Bandi or the food stall that is taking over the city. Streams of cars, bikes can be seen parked on any free place nearby, with people waiting patiently for their share of these yummy snacks, looking greedily as the bandi owners prepare them. Paani puri, aloo tikki, mirchi bajjis, idlis, dosas, punugulus, shawarmas, noodles, momos, jalebis, chai, Osmania biscuits and what not! So hop in at least to these food places of Hyderabad!

Golden Temple in Amritsar has the largest free kitchen in the world. Open 24 hours, year round, this food hall feeds 100,000 people for free each day. And on religious holidays that number can double. Just one of these huge bowls is enough to feed around 10,000 people.

Harmandir Sahib, often referred to as the Golden Temple, it's the largest Sikh shrine in the world. But despite being part of the holy site this kitchen doesn't discriminate, the food is completely free to anyone, regardless of religion, gender, or ethnicity. 

Community kitchens, or Langar, have been popular across South Asia since the birth of Sikhism. And the Langar at the Golden Temple has been serving meals since 1577. Each dish is cooked in giant metal vats. Over one hundred gas cylinders and huge piles of wood are burned through every day to keep things running 24/7. And there's only one short 30 minute break in the cooking from 4:30 to 5am.
