JM Road Khau Galli 

JM Road is dotted with restaurants serving delicious Indian fare, but the street food game is strong too! It has not one, but two noteworthy khau gallis worth mentioning. The first one has to be JM Corner. Located just around the corner on JM Road, JM Corner is a one-stop solution for all your hunger needs. It has everything from JJ Garden Vada Pav to Pav Bhaji at Shree Gurudatt. You can also find chaat, sandwiches, juice, dosa and paratha vendors dishing up hot and delicious food *mouth watering*. The second khau galli is located just down the road, opposite JM Temple, Hindavi Swaraj was once upon a small cart selling piping hot sabudana wadas with a spicy green thecha and cooling cucumber curd on the side. Soon, a dhapate stall cropped up and then a Dakshin Davangiri dosa guy set up a stall, and now the whole road is bustling with hungry people trying to get their hands on food.

Yerwada Khau Galli

If you happen to live near Yerwada, then head to the lane right out Creaticity Mall and devour plates of chaat, sandwiches and much more. Start your eating spree at Sudama Bhel, Pune’s favourite, serving a variety of chaat dishes. Ranging from the standard Pani Puri and Sev Puri to Cheese Bhel and Matki Bhel, everything here is absolutely tasty. A wholesome plate of Veg Dalcha Rice at A1 Special Dalcha Rice is your best bet if you’re really hungry. We all get those cravings which can be satisfied by nothing else but street Chinese only. S. P. Chinese offers you that spicy, greasy but oh-so-delicious Indo-Chinese taste. Their Masala Chicken Lollipop- crispy and coated with spicy masala is totally worth your money!

Pimple Saudagar Khau Galli

Some of you might think, OMG, this is located at the other end of Pune, but making your way to Kokane Chowk is so worth it! The Stuffed Dabeli, at Shree Kutch Dabeli, is undoubtedly great to taste. The stuffing of potatoes, 3 different kinds of chutneys, pomegranate seeds, topped with sev will transport you straight to Kutch. And if you’re in the mood for winner, winner, chicken dinner, then the Tandoori Chicken marinated in masalas and cooked in the tandoor will make your mouth salivate. Unless the 50 different varieties of dosa at Shree Ganesh Dosawala gets your attention and appeases your appetite.

Nucleus Mall Khau Galli

There is an unsaid saying when it comes to street food. Always go to the place, with the most crowd, there’s a reason for it. One of Pune’s oldest khau gallis was known for its Pav Bhajis, milkshakes, parathas and Chinese fare. When a big mall threatened its existence, it fought and now you can still visit it, under Nucleus Mall. The khau galli is dotted with shops selling shady Chinese noodles and rice with a side of Pav bhaji and spicy North Indian fare. Ravi Veg and Non-Veg, Uncle Kitchen, Sukh Sagar and Cane Yard Sugarcane Juice Bar (a place where you can get sugarcane juice all year-round) are your best bets.

Saras Baug Khau Galli

One of the oldest and best-known gardens in the city, Sarasbaug is as famous for its delectable street food as it is for its iconic Ganesh Temple. The namesake, Saras Pav Bhaji and Juice Centre is our pick, if you want to binge on delicious Pav Bhaji at any time during the day. A popular name serving chaat to the city since 1948, Kalpana Bhel has an outlet right in the heart of the Sarasbaug Chowpatty. To give a sweet ending to our food journey; we chose the Goodnight Mastani. Don’t be confused by its name! Goodnight Mastani is nothing but a mix-fruit Mastani drink. You can also binge on shady Chindian food, dosas, and don’t forget to buy candy floss and ride the giant wheel. Some things don't change. 
Where: Right Outside Sarasbaug

Kothrud Khau Galli

The Karishma society lane in Kothrud is fast turning into a Khau Galli, with restaurants and cafes mushrooming all over the street. You can find everything from momos, bhajiyas and even chocolate milkshake here. What’s the point of going to Kothrud if you don’t get some true Punekar feels? Khamanga dishes authentic Puneri food which tastes like it’s come straight out of your mother's kitchen. The ultimate comfort dessert for every true Punekar, this was the original store that whipped up this decadent Cad-M and Cad-B. If you’re bored of the regular old kathi kebabs; you need to try Turkish-style kebabs, Durum and Schnitzels at Spitfire along with some hearty Döner meal bowls. Craving for some asli North Indian street style food? O Bhaiya is the answer!

For those looking for a quick bite, without shelling out much, then grab some samosas at the famous Anarse Samosawale who has been serving hungry stomachs for 24 years. The samosa is everything you’d expect, but it is the chutney and sev that makes it super delicious! If you’re looking for a dose of kuch khatta and meetha then Radhika Bhel should be your next stop.
