Warhadi Thaat
The street food everywhere will leave you wanting more, but it is not recommended for less-than-strong stomachs. Try the Calcutta rolls at Shankarnagar Square, or a choice of just about everything from chaat to dosa to "Indian-Chinese" from the carts outside Yashwant Stadium, Dhantoli. There is also a Warhadi Thaat joint here, serving western Vidarbha rural food.
