Yes, we are Rourkela people, and food is our ultimate comfort. This city is compassionate about its food choices. People here are amiable and pay attention to food, which is why there are many restaurants and food traditions here. Despite being a small place, you can find restaurants and food stalls on every street in Rourkela. You can find everything from big hotels like Mayfair to small street vendors. People here like to go out in the evening to eat and spend time with family and friends.

For the Rourkela people, food is not just for survival; it is about curiosity, new experiences to taste, and a passion for those who love to cook. From urban Western food like pizza and pasta to Indian dishes like little chokha, everything is readily available in Rourkela, which plays a significant role in the economy.

As we move towards modernity, bar culture can also be seen in Rourkela. Some famous bars and restaurants like- Maaya, Central Park, Moksha, and cloud9 make people more social and relaxed, boosting moods by creating a good, friendly atmosphere. Restaurants and cafés like Huddang, Basil, and Cafe Quench are designed with a unique theme that will give you an exotic experience. More than the food, they will give you a lavish experience. If you skip eating from small stalls, your food journey may remain incomplete. Whenever someone comes to our city, we feed Rourkela’s famous Panipuri and Manchurian to him/her. Those who are from Rourkela will agree with me.

On a single note, food brings people together, and here you find food from every region, from north to south and east to west. Food is not just food; it is a way to express love and compensation to each other.
