Hira Halwai......
Hira Halwai is one of the best places in Allahabad to savor traditional
Indian sweets and snacks. Though it opens quite early at the crack of
dawn, you’ll find a crowd here at all hours queuing up to taste the most
authentic samosas in Allahabad. They’re often sold out within minutes,
so if you’re dead set on samosas, you might have to get up before the
sun does! Late risers will find a sweet consolation in Hira Halwai’s
heavenly gulab jamun....
