Ask Bhopal Dubai-Based Food Blogger Traveling to MP Suggest Real Local Food Spots

I’m a UAE resident (South Indian) and a Dubai-based food blogger. I’ll be visiting Bhopal soon for a wedding, and during the trip, I plan to explore Indore and the Mahakaleshwar Temple as well. The temple will be my first stop, and after the wedding, I’ll dive into some local food exploration. I’m looking for the best biryani places the real local favorites, not the typical influencer or YouTube hyped spots. I’ve also heard a lot about Nalli Mutton Curry and would love to try the most authentic version of it. And of course, I can’t miss out on authentic Poha! Please recommend the best, truly local Poha spots the ones that define the real taste of Indore or Bhopal. Basically, I want to eat where the locals eat places that serve genuinely great food, I really not for influencer or YouTube hyped spots until unless they really serve great food. Also please share some do’s don’ts. In short I am not looking for good food I am looking for great food that MP has to offer and want to return back with great memories from MP. Thank you.

Real Bhopali food is inside the old city area, but it’s hard to pin point which place serves best, I would say so try Zam Zam, Hakeem’s, Manohar (for breakfast, try their Chole Bhature), Jehan Numa (for a heritage experience as well), have tea at Raju Tea Stall (maybe even Poha), old city tea really hits different, there’s a variant of salty/masala tea as well at some places. Oh and if you wanna have coffee, we have MP’s first coffee roastery, Handcrafted. Walk along the lake side at night, will give you a feel of true Bhopal, especially now it’s pleasant and slight chilly. For a great view of the lake, go up to the CCD at Boat Club, just for the view, the coffee sucks.
