Aurangabad cantukky is a local favourite. Served by most eateries in the city, this is a spicy chicken dish that has a smoky flavour and a crunchy crust.

A popular dish in Aurangabad and Marathwada, Tahri is a pilaf-like delicacy prepared by adding meat to long grain rice along with fragrant spices.

Mawa jalebi is the decadent avatar of the North Indian favourite jalebi (a syrupy pretzel-like sweet). It is made with condensed milk, which makes it richer. 

This dish includes naan, which is a  traditional flatbread made in the tandoor, and qaliya, which is a delicious mutton curry cooked with an assortment of spices from the region.
