Street Adventures in Delhi: A Foodie's Map
Navigate the chaotic, delicious lanes of Old Delhi for the best kebabs, chaat, and parathas on earth.
Delhi's street food (chaat) is legendary. It is an assault on the senses in the best way possible—spicy, sweet, tangy, and crunchy, often all in one bite.
Old Delhi Essentials
Dive into the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk for:
- Paranthe Wali Gali: A legendary lane serving fried stuffed breads (parathas) since the 1870s.
- Karim's: Near Jama Masjid, famous for its historic Mughal curries and kebabs.
- Natraj Dahi Bhalle: Serving the best lentil fritters in yogurt since 1940.
Safety Tips
Eat where the locals eat (high turnover = fresh food). Avoid raw chutneys if you have a sensitive stomach, and stick to cooked, piping hot items. And always finish with a clay cup of sweet Lassi!
