r/kota

Found this random youtube video, even tho it was meant to be funny I feel emotional after watching it!

I am a JEE student in kota and this is my 2nd year living here.

People used to say that Kota is very unsafe and i wasn't trusting it. But since past 2 months, this city made me feel very unsafe as a girl.

Like today, I woke up early and thought to wander around with my friend. While walking around, few people commented ki "kitni pyari ladkiyan h.. baat karu inse?" loudly enough for us to hear.

And there was a car roaming around the streets which crossed us 4-5 times. I have noted down the no. Plate too.

And it even glided near us to drag the attention. The boys in the car were staring in a very creepy way.

I never expected Kota to be this unsafe even in broad daylight.

I'm new here and a student. I don't wanna visit a hospital with big expenses, a clinic would be preferred.

Hey everyone,

I’m working on launching a micro food / grab-and-go setup here in Kota, specifically tailored for students and folks rushing between coaching batches, self-study sessions, and PGs.

Not looking to build another heavy mess/thali joint or a slow sit-down cafe. The goal is super quick service, clean/hygienic, pocket-friendly, and food/drinks you can actually grab in a 10-minute break.

Before finalizing the operational setup, I really want to get raw feedback from people actually living the Kota life right now:

1. Menu & Beverages: What items are you missing right now? Sick of oily street food, or do you just want cleaner, solid versions of rolls, wraps, momos, quick bowls, cold coffee, iced teas, boba, soda, energy/protein drinks? Or something new?

2. Pricing: What’s the sweet spot per order for a quick snack + drink combo where it doesn't hurt your daily budget?

3. Timings & Delivery: What hours do you struggle to find good food the most (e.g., late-night study sessions vs. 6 AM morning rush)? Also, do you actually order delivery to PGs for micro-meals, or do you always walk out?

4. Frustrations with existing spots: Is it long wait times, bad packaging, unhygienic prep, or inconsistent quality?

5. Locations: Landmark City, Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, Talwandi, Jawahar Nagar, or somewhere else? Where do you feel there's a huge crowd gap during batch exit hours?

6. Student Retention & Hype: What would actually make you a regular customer here instead of switching to the next random stall? Any loyalty plans, subscription ideas, combo deals, or vibes that would make a spot instantly click with you guys?

Would love to hear any random thoughts, menu must-haves, or dealbreakers. Appreciate any insights: thanks in advance!
