BENGALURU: Fasting and feasting are essence of Ramadan. But irrespective of whether you are fasting or not, Ramadan is not complete without a stroll down the food street on Mosque Road, Fraser Town.
If this is your first time on the street, a food walk might be a good idea considering the array of options. Zafir Syed, a food blogger, who also conducts food walks, says, “You will have numerous choices and all of them will be recommended by someone. It can be overwhelming and if not planned, you can just be full at the first stop. For example, for my walks, I suggest five people share one portion of haleem,” says Syed.
