Sushi Joins Traditional Street Food at Delhi’s Dussehra Melas

Vegetarian sushi is sharing menu space with traditional snacks at Delhi’s Ramlila and Dussehra melas, according to India Today. At a stall in Rohini Sector 23, five pieces cost Rs 400 and come with wasabi, soy sauce and gari. The report also identifies sushi vendors at melas in Pitampura’s PU Block and Gujranwala Town.

The changes extend beyond sushi: offerings include dimsums with chilli oil, nitro-freeze dahi bhalla in a cone, waffle aloo tikki and mocktail stations using nitrogen effects. The report presents these menus as examples of growing interest in Japanese food and global flavours, although it provides no sales figures or consumer research to establish the scale of that shift.
