In Tuesday's video, you saw me eating a steaming bowl of spiced chickpeas next to a buzzing motorcycle repair shop. That thirty-second clip generated dozens of comments asking for the exact location, so I am writing down the directions here.
Behind the Railway Terminal
To find this family-run stall, you have to bypass the main market square entirely. Walk past the old railway terminal cargo entrance, take a sharp left at the blue painted gate, and look for the copper vats steaming in the open air.
There is no English sign, but you will recognize the owner by his bright orange apron and the massive queue of local commuters waiting patiently. A full plate costs less than two dollars and comes with freshly fried flatbread.
Transcript and Ordering Guide
I have included the full spoken transcript of my conversation with the cook below for those who want to practice the local ordering phrases. Just point to the copper pot and ask for the special spicy mix with extra pickled green chilies.
