One of the neighbourhoods that was referred to by locals was Mohanpur. a hidden gem for street food enthusiasts.

Patna's Boring Road is another area which has plenty of popular street food shops. The samosas here are a must-try, filled with spiced potatoes and peas, and served with a tangy tamarind chutney. For a quick, savoury snack, the chana ghugni, a spiced chickpea dish garnished with onions and green chilies, is a local favourite.
If you’re in the mood for something sweet, the jalebis here are crispy, syrupy, and freshly made. Golgappas, or pani puri, offer a burst of flavour with their spicy, tangy water. Other than this some other places which were recommended by locals are Kankarbagh, Gandhi Maidan, Lohia Nagar and Kumar Tower.
