With the Jama Masjid flaunting its beauty in the vicinity, you could discover a wide range of food joints that offer traditional sweets, chaat, golgappas, desserts such as kulfis and much more.
  • Ashok Chaat Bhandar and Hira Lal Chaat Corner are the most popular places to savor a wide variety of Chaat! This includes Kulle Chaat that is a crazy assortment of potatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, pineapples, chickpeas, and pomegranate seed that is sprinkled with chaat masala. Most notable would be the creamy Daulat Ki Chaat.
  • If Chaat is not enough for you could move further you savor the traditional sweets at the famous Shyam Sweets. A favorite place of late Indian Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, Shyam Sweets has continued its sugary legacy with consistent taste and unique variety. They offer barfi, halwa, laddoos and many more confectionaries in more than 15 different flavors. Hordes of people line up outside this small shop to grab a bite of their offerings.
  • If your tastebuds are tantalized with too much sweet than proceed further to have some Chhole Bature at Lotan Ke Chhole and Kulche. Taste like never before, this place would be on top of your list should you ever visit Delhi again.
  • Being in Delhi and not having a cold sweet bite of Kulfi is a crime in the community of foodies! Kuremal Kulfi Wala in Chawri Bazar offers chunks of frosty bites of flavorful ice cream. One bite and you might lose yourself in its rich milky and sugary blend. There are more notable street food vendors in Chawri Bazar such as Kamal Kachori Wala, Al-Jawahar, Natraj Dahi Bhalla and many more.
  • Don’t worry! You are just halfway through your Delhi Food Tour after exploring the food culture of Chawri Bazar. Now hop on a cycle rickshaw and sit back as you explore the streets of Delhi. Check out various chowks, Havelis, old establishments and Mughal monuments.
