Local Food in Agra To Try Today (By- Tushika Joshi)

 India – a place of many cultures and traditions, but what makes this place so special? So much so that tourists from all over the world come to visit this colorful land. Apart from this land’s rich heritage, it is India’s flavor. The food varies from region to region and is just as diverse and flavorful in each state. Indian cuisine is best renowned for its bold and vibrant use of spices. With the influence of Mughlai delicacies in Agra, the food here is considered one of the best. The street food is legendary for its bold flavors and tourists cannot get enough of it. So the next time you make a tour of India be sure to check out these amazing local foods in Agra.

1. Petha


“Agra ka Petha” famous all around India is considered one of the most savory and delicious snacks in Agra. Traditionally prepared from white pumpkin or ash gourd, this sweet – as most people consider it – is a treat like no other. It is flavored with nuts, spices, and a variety of other ingredients. It comes in two types, dry and hard, and soft and liquid-like. You may say that petha is arguably the best local food in Agra. This visually ice-cube-like sweet treat is one of the many reasons that make people flock to Agra. Many innovative flavors have been created for Petha over the years with vibrantly colored petha flavored with everything from rose flavored to paan flavored. The demand for petha has grown more and more because of its popularity and therefore it has given room for innovation of flavors and variants. Some of the variants include angoori petha and kesar petha, with angoori petha being the most famous.

2. Paratha



Like most Indians, nothing screams a perfect Mughlai dish without the addition of Paratha. Paratha, like petha, is probably one of the best local food in Agra. A fried flatbread made of wheat with various ingredients stuffed such as potatoes, cheese, grated cauliflower, or carrots makes this a perfect combination with your paneer dishes or a butter chicken. Sometimes served with chutneys, your taste buds are sure to be amazed. You can order paratha with a lot of other curries and condiments, so let your imagination run wild and explore this amazing food.

 3. Bedai served with Jalebi

One of the famous local foods in Agra and a fan favorite among street foodies, the bedai served with jalebi never disappoints. A very popular food in north India and a common breakfast served in Mathura and Agra, the bedai is an urad dal stuffed crispy puri. Match that with Jalebi then you get a match made in heaven.The jalebi is a spiral dessert made from fermented batter of all-purpose flour that is fried and soaked in sugar syrup. A dish best served hot, those first bites from the sticky and sweet jalebi will feel heavenly. Famous among the people with a sweet tooth it serves as a good appetizer as well. A bedai is typically spicy, but one of the most sought-after and best local food in Agra. The bedai is a mouth-watering treat to most locals. Also known as kachori, the bedai is sometimes served with spiced potato curry. The locals indulge in this breakfast regularly.

1. Lé Vantage Cafe Bar Lé Vantage  is definitely lit during the nights, but we've spent quite a few afternoons here to vouch for the fact that it's better during the quiet, balmy noon. The vibe of the indoor seating is Mediterranean, and the top floor of the cafe-plus-bar has an amazing ambience complete with industrial chandeliers and neon signs in French. The music is usually pleasant at noon and perfect for conversations over wine or coffee. Price : INR 2,000 for two (approx.)  Timings : 11 AM to 12 AM 2. Cafe Bahar Drive past Cafe Bahar on the Basheerbagh road and you'll smell the headiest aroma of Dum Biryani and Irani Chai beckoning you to step inside.
