Convenience stores in India

There are ready to heat meals available in many shops and you can get things like upma poha etc (typical Indian food) as dehydrated meals that are reconstituted with hot water.

Yes, you can buy prepackaged food in convenience stores throughout India and there are many. Even in small shops you can buy prepackaged food like cakes, or ready to eat stuff etc. which you can heat up in your room.

But prepackaged food in India does not mean that you will not get sick. If you want to avoid getting sick in India you have to do:

  1. Don’t eat uncooked food (food must be hot) .
  2. Don’t eat fruit and vegetables that have only been peeled or not cooked (even salad).
  3. Don’t drink tap water. Drink only filtered or bottled water, and ice is bad).
  4. Don’t eat street food or eat at only popular food locations.
  5. Always wash your hands before you eat.

  6. My personal tip (optional): Drink a little schnaps before eating. That will help to kill some of the bacteria and it has always helped me. (If someone doesn’t believe my personal tip just ignore it and if one still wants some proof – please just google it and read some studies done in the past – Two of many random links):

There is no 7-11 in India. Convenience stores that sells pre-packaged food that can be heated up like 7/11 are rare.

You can visit shopping malls in the area or hypermarket and search. They may sell it. However, noodles, bread, biscuits and other things that can be eaten right away or bit cooking is available in even the smallest store.

Just a pro tip: Just because it is packaged doesn’t mean it’s safe. Stick with popular brands. Especially for water, drink bislery only. There are enough great foods available over there. Try, nan, and similar stuff are relatively safe to eat. For curry, exercise caution.
