• Shree Balaji Kachori Bhandar - This well-loved spot, Shree Bala Ji Kachori Bhandar, offers a classic breakfast treat: Nagori puri with aloo (potato curry) and halwa (a traditional sweet). Nagori is a small, crispy bread made from semolina (sooji) and flour (maida), fried in ghee (clarified butter), and enjoyed with sooji halwa cooked in ghee. This combination is a favorite among regular patrons.
• Old Famous Jalebi Wala - A culinary journey through Old Delhi is incomplete without visiting the renowned Old Famous Jalebi Wala. Start with their famous matar samosas—crispy delights filled with peas and potatoes, served with refreshing green mint chutney. Unlike the larger samosas found elsewhere, these bite-sized treats allow for indulgence in more than one. Traditional aloo samosas are also available. However, the highlight is the jalebi—golden, coiled, and soaked in sugar syrup, served hot and fresh. Pair them with rich, homemade rabri, celebrated for its perfect consistency and flavor, to experience a true Old Delhi classic. This iconic shop has remained unchanged since 1884, attracting food enthusiasts across generations, including Indira Gandhi, celebrity chef George Calombaris, and Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar.
• KANWARJI BHAGIRATHMAL - At Kanwar Ji Bhagirath Mal, savor the most delicious Chole Bhature and Kachori Sabzi. Their top seller is the chole bhatura. Additionally, try their variety of pakoras (fritters) and namkeens (savory snacks) such as Dalbiji, Aloo ke lachhe, Sem Beej, etc. This establishment is also renowned for preparing sweets & namkeens using pure desi ghee. Their Rose chikki (a traditional Indian sweet made of jaggery) comes highly recommended.
• Natraj cafe - This popular spot in the lanes of Chandni Chowk is especially known for its Dahi Bhalle. Natraj serves two aloo tikkis (potato patties) made with mashed potatoes, peas, and gram flour, shallow-fried in oil until crunchy and golden, served with imli-gud (tamarind & jaggery) and coriander chutney, yogurt, ginger juliennes (thin strips), and boiled chickpeas. The potato cakes are thin at the edges and puffy in the center, stuffed with ground moong dal.
• Khari Baoli Road - Take a rickshaw ride to Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest spice market. At its core is the historic Gadodia Market, constructed in the 1920s by the affluent merchant Seth Lakshmi Narayan Gadodia. Once a grand haveli, it is now an integral part of the spice market, its old-world charm mingling with the aroma of spices, dried fruits, and herbs that fill the air. The ride itself is an experience—passing vibrant shops, bustling alleys, and the lively rhythm of Old Delhi.
• Paranthe Wali Gali - Journey to Paranthewali Gali to savor the taste of Naan Khatai. Alternatively, explore Jang Bahadur Kachori Waala, famous for its freshly prepared spicy-crispy kachoris served with hot aloo sabzi/curry. It is believed they introduced the concept of khasta (crispy) kachori in Delhi.
• Naughara - Naughara, a tranquil alley that feels worlds apart from the surrounding chaos. The name means “nine houses,” and here lies a row of nine beautifully preserved 18th-century havelis. Their intricate doorways are uniquely decorated with colorful motifs of flowers, leaves, birds, and animals, making it a photographer’s delight. At the end of the lane stands a stunning Jain Svetambar temple built in white marble, exuding calm and divinity. Amidst Chandni Chowk’s bustling mayhem, this quiet, historical corner is both fascinating and enchanting—a perfect stop to soak in heritage and capture memories.
