\u201cChandigarh does not have any specific cuisine of its own, it is an amalgamation of influences from say Ludhiana, Amritsar, Delhi, etc. What works in say Amritsar like phicha<\/em> (soaked) kulcha might not be liked by people in Chandigarh but Amritsaris swear by it. So, cuisines evolve according to the local palate,\u201d says Food Blogger Jimmy Makkar.<\/p>\n

Kanel Bakery<\/strong>, Sector 7, Chandigarh<\/p>\n

Sultry Noodle<\/strong>, Sector 7, Chandigarh<\/p>\n
