If you are planning to visit Chandigarh and have already prepared a travel itinerary for tourist places, the next big question is always — where to eat?
Like most travelers, you may have searched on YouTube or Instagram to find viral food places in Chandigarh. But many times, eye-catching social media videos can be misleading. After visiting such places, you may find that the food is average, overpriced, or not hygienic.
This happens because many food videos are paid promotions. The main goal of such content is views and income, not honest food recommendations.
To save you from disappointment, I am sharing a list of genuine, budget-friendly, and hygienic food places in the Chandigarh Tricity that locals actually love.
👉 You can save this blog and visit these places for real taste and value.

These two places are hidden gems. You may not see many food vloggers here, but locals swear by them.
They serve authentic Punjabi food, and the taste and recipes have remained the same for over 20 years. Both restaurants offer comfortable seating, but you might have to wait during peak hours because they are very popular among locals.
