Street food in Burundi is usually simple and inexpensive, with vendors selling grilled meat, fried plantains,
cassava,
samosas, and roasted maize from roadside stalls or market edges, so it is normal to buy and eat it casually while standing or walking. In
Bujumbura and other towns, the busiest options are often around markets and bus stops, and locals generally expect you to pay in cash and choose freshly cooked items rather than pre-made food left sitting out.
