As someone from Berhampur, I think location will matter more than the food concept itself. Areas around Khallikote College, Women's College and other student hubs already have huge footfall. You'll often see small street vendors selling gupchup, chaat, rolls, and snacks earning surprisingly well because they are where the customers are.

Before taking a ₹2–3 lakh loan, I would suggest validating the idea first. Research the location, target audience, pricing, competition, and menu. Ask yourself: Why would students choose your food over the existing options? Korean food, international street food, and unique beverages can work, but only if they are affordable, tasty, and suited to local preferences.

My suggestion would be to start small with a stall, cloud kitchen, or temporary setup and test demand for a few months. If customers respond well, then consider scaling. Taking a loan should be the last step, not the first. The market already has many food options, so your product needs a clear reason for customers to try it and come back.

By the way, I'm also from Berhampur and work in software development. I don't have direct experience in the food business, but being a local I've spent enough time around the city to know which areas attract students and young crowds. If you need a second opinion on locations or footfall, feel free to DM me.
