Whatever may have brought you to Bhubaneswar, the thing you might just turn out to be happiest about is the food. Here are five awesome places you can drop by when you are in the city of temples:
1. The Chocolate House:
No, it’s not just a dessert place. This cafe has much to offer.
- Must Hogs: They serve everything from biryani to pasta to waffle sandwiches. Their specialty lies in the milkshakes and customized ice-creams. #PastaBiryaniSwag
- Decor that warms my heart: Comfy bean bags to lounge in while you browse through their book collection. #ChicBeans&Books
- Where to find it: Near Jhoom Sports Complex on Infocity Road. #JhoomBarabarJhoom (Okay, that was beyond lame so I won’t highlight it.)
- Budget for them broke youths: 500/- (For two.)

2. Cookie Man:
This is a branch of the Chennai outlet, inspired by the Australian brand.
- Must Hogs: DONUTS! And cookies, of course. *Not EVERY birthday has to be JUST about cake*
- Decor that warms my heart: Very basic, but they do have a theme for festive occasions. *Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the wayyy* (I’ll shut up now.)
- Where to find it: Opposite the Mayfair Lagoon, Jaydev Vihar.
- Budget for them broke youths: Starting at Rs. 300/- (For two.)
3. Wild Berry:
Missing authentic North Indian food? *Seriously, I can understand* This is the place for you! With a tandoor and even Chinese cuisine, Wild Berry assures you that ‘variety is the spice of life!’
- Must Hogs: Mocktails and Brownies.
- Decor that warms my heart: They have a pleasing decor, some of the most polite *and adorable* staff you would ever come across.
- Where to find it: Ground Floor, Adda Building, KIIT Square.

4. Fun & Fries:
Street food- life really has no meaning without it. *Seriously* And there is nothing better than to be able to have some while you sit back and play games with friends.
- Must Hogs: Their patties!!!
- Decor that warms my heart: Their interiors have a board game theme- walls that look like a Chess board *reminds you of Chamber of Secrets, doesn’t it?* and tables with patterns like Snakes and Ladders, encourage you to indulge in the games while your food arrives.
- Where to find it: Adda Building, in KIIT Square.
- Budget for them broke youths: 350/- (Or probably less if you’re going alone. Yes, some of us actually do that.)
