Everyone will have their own favorite foods and snacks, and even restaurants. Elders at home often say that eating food from outside might cause serious health issues as they use some flavoring and coloring agents to increase the taste and attract customers. Though there is a certain amount of fact to this, people are often forced to dine out daily. For instance, in Bangalore, people who come from other states for occupation often find themselves having food from restaurants (either via dine-in or online delivery) or on the street regularly. Bangalore is one of the most happening places in India, being a metropolitan city with a huge heterogeneous crowd. Due to the easy availability of high-speed internet, and a vast migrant population, with students and IT employees, it also witnesses a lot of takeout food orders. 

In the evenings, if you walk on the busy streets of Bangalore, there are many street stalls selling fast food having bigger menus as well. Every culture and region has a history that shows the love of people for street food since ancient Greece, wherein they served fried fish as their most common street dish. For people of ancient Rome, street food was their primary food source. Chickpea soup was a commonly sold item.
