The allure of street food lies in its unapologetic flavours, vibrant colours and the infectious energy of the streets themselves.

"Why complain about street food? No one's stopping you from going to a restaurant and eating hygienic food. Street food is made on a low budget where hygiene is undervalued, but it delivers rich and authentic flavours," read a comment.

"This is in Kochi, this is where I take anyone who's new to this city," remarked a user.
