Delhi Food Guide: 20 Dishes You Must Eat in Old Delhi
Chandni Chowk is one of the world's great street food destinations — nihari at Karim's, jalebis at Old Famous, paranthe at Paranthe Wali Gali.

Old Delhi was built in 1639 and its food culture has been perfecting itself ever since. This is the heart of Mughal cuisine in India.

The Morning Circuit

Start at Paranthe Wali Gali — families have been frying stuffed parathas in pure ghee here since 1875. Then walk to Old Famous Jalebi Wala on Dariba Corner.

Karim's

Founded in 1913 near Jama Masjid — order mutton nihari, seekh kebabs, and brain masala. Budget ₹400–600 per head.
