Food @ Mela.

Restaurants at the Mela premises

Chaat garam

SEV"Indian Railway’s Canteen" serve hygienic and variety of foods. But you can have some papdi (pure ghee ones), khajoor and halwa get packed, very unique sweet items. These stalls (around 40-50) comes just before the Chidiya bazaar (Birds and Dogs market). 
Papdi, Khajoor and Halwa, ............really yummy taste..........


Gur ki Jalebi
Halwa-Paratha


Gur ki Jalebi


State food of BIHAR


Lalu ji ka ATOM bomb aka Hathgola

Real combiners of Litti

 Litti chokha- only baked on firewood/ coal, so not much chance for contamination and can be enjoyed in any decent restaurants erected in the mela. 

Hot prepared Gur ki Jalebi is another delicacy specific to the mela that I think you would surely like to relish.


Besides these there are restaurants serving hygienic and good quality Chaats. 

Samosa Chaat
