@alstonsjournal had one job! to suggest a decent place to eat. And oh did he came through 🤤 It was his idea to hit up Frazer Town’s legendary Ramadan food street, and after some debate over whether we should brace ourselves for weekend crowds, we wisely picked a Friday. The logic? Weekdays should be less crowded. The reality? Frazer Town on a Ramadan Friday is still packed, but at least we weren’t elbowing our way through a sea of hungry Bangaloreans.
So there we were, me, Yugadi, Alston, Fiona and Adil standing under the bright neon glow of food stalls at 7 PM, ready to do what we do best: eat like there’s no tomorrow. For the next two hours, we drowned in flavors, destroyed our diets, and probably took years off our lifespan with the sheer volume of food we inhaled. And honestly? Zero regrets.
The Coolest Welcome – Mohabbath ka Sharbath & More
You know you’re in for a good time when your night starts with a drink called Mohabbath ka Sharbath. If love had a flavor, I’d say this was pretty close. This drink is basically watermelon chunks, chia seeds & nuts swimming in a chilled, rose flavoured milky concoction, topped with little bits of heaven. Okay, not heaven almonds, but close enough. It’s sweet, refreshing, and exactly what you need before diving into a meat heavy food coma.
We also tried the Pista Falooda, a creamy, nutty dessert drink hybrid that somehow manages to be a drink, a snack, and a meal all at once. It had the classic falooda noodles, sabja seeds, and a heavy dose of nostalgia. But the real surprise? The Mango Cocktail from Karama Stall! a thick, mango loaded drink that was dangerously addictive. It was so good that we had to actively stop ourselves from chugging it down in one go.
Zayan’s Kebab Corner – Rolls That Deserve a Standing Ovation
If Frazer Town had a Hall of Fame for kebabs, Zayan’s Kebab Corner would be inducted on day one. Their Seekh Roll was a revelation juicy minced meat wrapped in a soft, buttery rumali naan, spiced just right so that you get heat without setting your taste buds on fire. And then came the Seekh Jumbo Roll, which is exactly what it sounds like a monstrous, meat loaded version of the already perfect seekh roll.
You know a roll is great when everyone at the table goes completely silent while eating it. No small talk, no jokes just the occasional nod of approval and that satisfied look of “I need five more of these.”
Beef Parota & Beef Phal – The Unsung Heroes
Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we stumbled upon a tiny stall serving Beef Parota and Beef Phal. Now, let me tell you this was hands down one of the best things we ate that night.
The Stuffed Beef Parota was a masterclass in how flaky, crispy, and buttery a parota should be. The beef was slow cooked to perfection, fall apart tender, and packed with bold flavours that clung to the parota like they were meant to be together. It was the kind of food that makes you forget all about table manners.
And then there was Beef Phal. If you’ve never had it, imagine tender beef chunks simmered in a thick, spicy, and slightly tangy gravy that makes your taste buds dance. The depth of flavour in this dish was unreal!!! it was like every bite told a story, and that story was, “You’re going to need a nap after this.”
Dessert Detour – A Sweet Goodbye at Charminar
After inhaling our body weight in kebabs and curries, we took a short walk (A Desperate Attempt To Create Space For Dessert 🤣) to Charminar down Mosque Road. This was where the real magic happened.
First up, Badam Pudding. This was the dessert of the night rich, nutty, perfectly sweet, and smooth like butter. If I could eat this every day without consequences, I absolutely would.
Then came the Matkha Phirni, thick, creamy, slow cooked to perfection, and served in a traditional earthen pot that somehow made it taste even better. But the real star? Dal Kheer. Who knew lentils could be transformed into something so irresistibly sweet and comforting? We took a spoonful, looked at each other, and just nodded in silent appreciation. This was it. This was dessert nirvana and @yugadi absolutely loved this! (Desserts Were The Only Thing She Could Have Had Sadly Being A Vegetarian 🥹)
The Final Bites – Beef Samosas & One Last Round of Mohabbath
As we were about to leave, we walked past Taj Hotel and caught a whiff of something gloriously deep fried. Turns out, it was beef samosas, and obviously, we had no choice but to get some.
These were not your average samosas. They were crispy, packed with flavorful beef filling, and dangerously addictive. It was the kind of snack where you say, “I’ll just have one,” and then suddenly, you’re three deep with no regrets. We even had a delicious Shawarma at the same place that’s pretty much the same we get in Mangalore.
And then, just when we thought we were done, we did what any sane person would do! we went back for another round of Mohabbath ka Sharbath. Because when a drink is that perfect, you don’t just have it once. You double down.
Why Frazer Town’s Ramadan Food Street Wins Over Koramangala
I know Koramangala has its fans, but let’s be real! Frazer Town is in a different league. The food here isn’t just about trendy Instagram pictures; it’s about generations of culinary tradition served with zero pretension. The flavors are deeper, the meats are juicier, and every bite tastes like it was made with love and a secret spice mix passed down for centuries.
Plus, the energy is unbeatable. It’s chaotic but in the best way possible. You’ll hear vendors calling out, grills sizzling, and happy people bonding over plates of food that taste like home. Koramangala? It’s great for cafes, sure. But when it comes to Ramadan food, it doesn’t even come close.
Final Thoughts – Get Yourself to Frazer Town, ASAP
Final Thoughts – Get Yourself to Frazer Town, ASAP
If you’ve never been to Frazer Town’s food street during Ramadan, you’re seriously missing out. This isn’t just a place to eat, it’s an experience. It’s loud, it’s lively, it’s deliciously messy, and it’s the kind of food coma you’ll happily sign up for.
So grab your hungriest friends, loosen your belt, and dive headfirst into this food paradise. Just don’t blame me when you find yourself making a second trip for that Mohabbath ka Sharbath.

Is that photo that looks like brains, actually brains?
Yupp it is an actual brain, Lamb brain is a delicacy here, it’s called Bheja (Brain) Fry.
well they say to not judge something until you've tried it so I will not say that it is disgusting because I have no idea. There was a time I was offered a soup that had blood (of an animal) in it and at first I was like "get that away from me!" but after trying it I realized it is delicious and now it is one of my favorite things to eat.
Love how open minded you are about food ! Honestly, I’m all for trying new things too provided they are cooked well 😂. But yeah, animal blood might be where I draw the line.
I came across a few dishes in Vietnam that had raw animal blood as a component, and while I was curious, I just couldn’t bring myself to try it.
Bheja fry, though, that’s one of those things that sounds off putting until you take a bite. The texture and spices really transform it.
Funny how our boundaries shift when we travel and see what’s on the table in different cultures!
