The Chandni Chowk of Purani Dilli near Jama Masjid has always been a food lovers’ paradise. But when it is the season of Ramazan, this is the one place to look out for. The city becomes no less than a carnival in itself and is nothing like you ever see anywhere else in the world. With such a beautiful blend of tradition, it is bound to serve you the best food too. The streets are jam-packed with an aesthetic orderly chaos and thus, with so many indefinite options available it becomes definitely confusing to what to try and what to try at all costs? So, this is your go-to guide to the perfect Iftar Food Walk for all the Chandni Chowk food that you are craving for.
ASHOK CHAT CORNER
Which Indian Feat or celebration is complete without chaat? Well, I’ll let you think in oblivion. The place is very convenient to find as it is located just outside Gate no. 3 of Chawri Bazar Metro Station. The place is one of the oldest in the place and serves delicious chaats, golgappas & tikkis. It sure tastes like the best in Delhi.
LALU KABABEE
Mouth melting Mughlai Food & kebabs, YUM! The seekhs here simply melts in your mouth and is a real value for your money. At Rs 50 for 4 pieces, what better could you ask for? You must try Buff Kebab with Mint Chutney. This is the best of Chandni Chowk food you can find.
ASLAM CHICKEN
One must stop here on his treasure hunt for palatable food. This hidden gem is known for its Butter Chicken with all its twists, Butter Chicken Tikka, Buttery Chicken, Roasted Chicken, Chicken Seekh Kebab, Chicken Grill, Tandoori Butter Chicken. Don’t confuse it with your Punjabi Butter Chicken as the Butter Chicken here comes with tender charcoaled chicken doused in butter accompanied by a spoon of dahi and flaky rotis. (No onions or tomatoes in the gravy. Just butter!)
JUGAL KISHORE RAMJI LAL CHAAT WALE
Another famous chat corner, but it sells some characteristic chaats that are only available here and nowhere else in Delhi such as the ‘Kuliya Di Chaat’. It’s deliciously tangy and healthy, as made out of various vegetables & fruits. You would only find this level of creativity and flavor in Chandni Chowk food.
HAAJI SHABRATI NIHARI WALE
In Sadar Bazaars’ Bhaji Gali, Noora Nihari is a place where you get a fool meal at a cost of Rs 100 and as the name suggests, the rich nihari here is delicious. The Nihari is worth the efforts. It is spicy, heavy and everything you want your Nihari to be. The rotis to go along with it are crisp and fluffy at the same time. You can choose from a variety of Nihari like the Paya Nihari, Bheja Nihari or the Nalli Nihari.
