| Feb 7, 2021 at 22:27 | comment | added | mirabilos | A European friend who went to India, travelling around the country for a month, had a second rule of thumb: only eat vegetarian food, no meat. Apparently it’s not uncommon, depending on where, for electricity to not be available for some hours during the night, and that includes refrigerators. | |
| Feb 7, 2021 at 17:25 | comment | added | user149408 | Re cheapest way to eat: restaurant food in India is sensationally cheap by Western standards, so the cost argument may not be all that relevant. Before visiting India in 2013, we asked a co-worker (he was from Hyderabad) whether he would eat street food, and he said no. | |

| Feb 6, 2021 at 10:45 | comment | added | badjohn | I've eaten lots of Indian street food without ill effects but my stomach is tough as an old boot. The only thing that got me was an ice cream; I learned later that they turned off the freezer when there was no demand. However, don't assume that your stomach is as tough as mine. | |
| Feb 6, 2021 at 9:00 | comment | added | lalala | I havent been to India, but the general advise for countries with street food (and non street food) which you suspect of having influence on your health: do not eat where the locals do not eat. So only choose places which are (almost) full or have a queue. | |
| Feb 6, 2021 at 7:57 | comment | added | Firelord | Whether you go to a recommended place or not always (and I can't stress this enough) carry water of your own, or buy packed mineral water only from a reputed brand. Many establishments would serve a knockoff of reputed mineral water brands, with almost the same branding colors and packaging to trick you into buying them. If you are not careful you would end up buying them 10/10 times. Kinley becomes Kinlye or Kinlay, Bisleri become Bilseri and whatnot. You are much likely to come across these knockoffs near bus stations, railway stations, tourist spots, makeshift (poorly looking) shops, etc. | |

| Feb 5, 2021 at 17:23 | comment | added | Strawberry | If you're not going to eat the streetfood, what's the point in going? If it's cooked, consume it. If it's salad or juice, don't (although those lassis are too good to resist). And take a truckload of metronidazole, loperamide, and whatever you need to replace fluids, | |

| Feb 5, 2021 at 16:29 | comment | added | Aaron F | My comment here is relevant. Don't eat street food. Not even fruit juice. There will always be a clean and inexpensive place that you'll be able to go and eat, wherever you are in the country. | |
