Mall Road is lined up with shops, kiosks, and roadside vendors selling various street food delicacies.

There is something about Nainital’s pleasantly cold weather that pairs well with corn. Small sellers set up shop just along Mall Road on a carpet. They sell boiled corn, roasted corn, and even flavored corn. Also, what is even better than the taste; is the fact that you get to support those tiny businesses. They are sellers that wholeheartedly run their small kiosks. Thus, they can use every help they can get. The smoky flavor of roasted corn; or the buttery texture of boiled corn is the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of Naini Lake.
