It is called as "Amma's canteen". Any meal is 1 or 2 rupees. It is clean, healthy & definitely not fast food. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QwO9RyihO8

I noticed in that video that everyone ate with their hands. Is the lack of eating utensils a culture thing, a poverty thing, or both?

I prefer eating with hands more than utensils. I prefer that as a respect for the food as it is the major reason for my health.
