• Indore is well known for its vibrant food culture, street food, night markets, and gastronomic identity. It is sometimes nicknamed a culinary hub of Madhya Pradesh.

• The city has regulatory and civic support for “clean street food hubs,” and the government monitors and supports food business operators.
  
  

• Famous food markets like Sarafa Bazaar (which is a jewellery market by day and food-street by night) and Chappan Dukan (56 Dukan) have long histories in Indore’s foodscape.

This strong local food culture provides fertile ground for community kitchens and food‑service ventures to emerge.
