foodstalls

Open-air meal counters

Foodstalls are small vendors or booths selling prepared food, typically found at markets, festivals, or street corners.

The word appears as one unit or two (food stalls), with the compound form emphasizing the category rather than individual stands: The night market was lined with foodstalls selling noodles and grilled meats.
