Drive-Ins in Visakhapatnam to hangout with your friends

Drive-ins, the new age hangout spots, have gained immense popularity in recent times. Housing multiple food joints under one roof, drive-ins are a perfect solution for food lovers who cannot instantly decide what to eat. From biryanis to ice creams, noodles to thick shakes, and chaats to mojitos, drive-ins are a one-stop solution for all your food cravings. The added facility of not having to step out of the car, to place and receive an order, is what makes these places stand apart from the regular cafes you visit.
