Drive-ins are the only places where you can have two things at once—eating finger-licking good food in the comfort of your car. Fortunately, Vizag has many drive-ins where you can share a hearty meal with your friends or family. These spaces have gained popularity with all age groups for their facilities and diverse food options under one roof. Here are five such drive-ins in Visakhapatnam that you need to pay a visit to:
1. Aj Drive-In
Aj Drive-in is a place where one can click good pictures and have tasty food as well. This drive-in offers three seating options – indoor, outdoor, and rooftop. The space has special capsule seating options, offering a more intimate and aesthetic setting for enjoying privacy while eating.
Aj Drive-In has food from mouthwatering biriyanis, kebabs grilled to perfection and scrumptious burgers to pizzas to feast on. Delightful desserts like ice cream and thick shakes complete the meal.

2. Eater’s Stop
One of Vizag’s favourite restaurants for online ordering, Eater’s Stop is a great drive-in too! The restaurant has indoor and rooftop dining with contrasting aesthetics. The interior has a bit of a mystical atmosphere, with ship-themed decor. The rooftop exudes a more mechanical vibe, with tyres and mechanical exteriors. If you want to enjoy quality time with your near and dear ones with amazing food and immaculate vibes, Eater’s stop should be your stop.
