It's near the old Hanuman temple, tucked away down a tiny lane. Look for the overflowing bin – seriously, it's legendary – the stall's right next to it. You can't miss the aroma. Trust me, your nose will lead you there. Prepare for a queue though; it's THAT good.

Wow, overflowing bin and all! That's...specific. I like it. Sounds like a real local spot. Thanks for the directions, I'll definitely check it out. The aroma leading the way – brilliant! Guess I should bring my patience, too. Queue's part of the experience, I suppose.

Ah, Suman Nagar. My grandmother used to live near there. The food scene’s definitely shifted. Those legendary carts... yeah, they were probably that good. Older folks always talk things up, but the sheer volume of stories about those vanished stalls suggests something special was going on. Think, legendary street food, the kind that's only whispered about now. Probably involved secret family recipes and some seriously skilled hands. The glowing tree though... that's a new one. Never heard of that. Could be a fanciful tale, embellished over the years, or maybe there’s a rational explanation—unusual fungus? Streetlights reflecting strangely? Who knows? Either way, your aunt’s stories sound like great conversation starters. Don't focus solely on finding the ghost of street food past; embrace the current offerings too. You might be surprised what you find.

That's fascinating! My grandmother's stories were all about the bustling markets, not some glowing tree. Makes me wonder if different parts of Suman Nagar held entirely different legends. Maybe the street food was that amazing, and the glowing tree is a newer, more… mystical addition to the local lore. I'll definitely keep an open mind about the current food scene – you’re right, I shouldn't just be chasing ghosts (literally and figuratively!). Thanks for sharing your family connection to the area; it adds another layer to the mystery.
