Welcome to part 2 of my Ramzan festive food spree. The first was at Shivajinagar in Bengaluru and you can find the blog on that right here:
For part 2, I am sharing about my experience at Frazer Town. Now, this place I liked a lot better than Shivajinagar. Why's that? Well, there was much lesser crowd, more hygiene and quite a lot of options compared. Plus, the food was so good we had almost no complaints.
Frazer Town's streets are full of life with people flocking to try the Ifthar special dishes. From savoury to desserts, you will find a large variety of items to savour. The food stalls usually open by 5 pm and are open until 2 am at night. This year there was construction in progress in the area and so it was a little toned down compared to other years. However, we still had a splendid time.

A Great Start at Zayan's Kebab Centre
We started our food adventure with Zayan's Kebab Centre. This place is very popular for their beef rolls and they are very affordable as well. We first tried their Beef Sheekh Roll which was for INR 50 (0.59 USD). This was juicy with flavourful meat, tangy sauces and chutneys layered inside. We then tried the Sheekh Mambo Roll, which was priced at INR 130 (1.53 USD). They were both incredibly good.

The Beef Stuffed Porotta at Zayan's
Then we had their Beef Stuffed Porotta. This costed us INR 100 (1.17 USD). This was a soft flatbread (porotta) with minced beef inside. Super soft and flavourful, it was a 10/10. The beef was spiced well and the stuffed porotta was melt-in-your-mouth soft.

A Refreshing Pista Shake
After all the meaty goodness, we then stopped by a small stall on the Mosque Road and got a Pista-flavoured Shake. This cost us INR 30 (0.35 USD) and they also serve smaller cups for INR 20 (0.23 USD). This was a little watery but still had good flavours and felt refreshing and so was a good cooling break.

Tasty Way's Kada (Quail) Fry
Our next stop was Tasty Way Restaurant. They were offering Kada Fry - a fried quail bird. While the texture on the outside looked very crispy, it turned out to be nothing but bones mostly. The mix of spices was good, but the scarcity of meat on it was just sheer disappointment. We paid INR 130 (1.52 USD) for this. It's still something unique if you are trying for the first time though.

Galore of Sweet Treats: Matka Kheer and Caramel Pudding
Next, we were in the mood for desserts! They offer a huuuuuge variety in sweet treats, including kunafah, puddings, jalebis, gulab jamuns and others.
We first went for the Matka Kheer, and this was super creamy and delicious. Matka Kheer is a traditional rice pudding delicacy made by simmering rice and milk with spices and is served in a mud pot that enhances the flavours. This was priced at INR 60 (0.70 USD) and can be a perfect end to a meal.
Then we also tried their Caramel Pudding. This was so soft and yum, it just melts in your mouth. It also wasn't overly sweet - just how I like my desserts. This was priced at INR 70 (0.82 USD).

The Grand Finale: Mohabbat Ka Sharbat
Finally, we had Mohabbat Ka Sharbat. This is a super refreshing beverage originating from the Mughal Era in India. 'Mohabbat ka Sharbat' translates to 'Drink of Love' and it is made with cut fresh watermelon fruit, rose flavours, milk, basil seeds and a touch of cardamom in some cases. It is cooling and perfect for summers. This was priced at INR 50 (0.59 USD).
A Walk Through Frazer Town's Flavourful Streets
We were quite full after eating all of this and decided to take a walk around the neighbourhood to explore more. We found many, many restaurants serving aromatic kebabs, haleem and biriyanis. Frazer Town is known for its old rustic charm and it definitely lives up to it. The grilled meats here are also a must-try. Whether you are a fan of kebabs or just enjoy exploring local food, Frazer Town has something enjoyable for everyone.
