Every once in a while I have this urge to try the real street food of Delhi and that is when I make my trip to Chandni Chowk. Over my last few trips, many of my friends have joined me to walk through the always crowded by lanes of Chandni Chowk, Chawri bazaar and nearby areas to savor some of the tastiest food available. The choices on display blow your mind and it is impossible to miss the food stalls and little shops as they cater to a thronging crowd of hungry visitors daily.
These are some of the images that I captured in between digging into tasty chaat and searching for some legendary food outlets.
Chandni Chowk - the mere mention brings up memories of some tasty chaat vendors and the best chaat in Delhi.

| Ashok Chat Corner |
Not just chaat, the area is brimming with snacks and food from everywhere.

Bombay Sandwich in Delhi
 Panna standing at Nai Sarak has some tasty Moth Kachori..try it if you havent till now. |
 |
| Incase regular kachoris are what you crave then make way to Jung Bahadurs Kachori shop |
 |
| And how can you be in Delhi and not try Matra Kulcha. |
 |
| And talking of Matra, Rameshji in Kinari Bazaar serves the best Matra Kulcha in town. |
A trip to Chandni Chowk will be incomplete without a mention of Parathewalli Galli. The atmosphere and the crowd eating there at any time is to be seen even if oily fried parathas are not your choice of food.
And it is impossible to roam the area and not catch the countless hawkers selling nankhatai.
Going to the old Delhi area and not making a trip to Karim's is totally unpardonable, unless you are a vegetarian. Famed for its mutton preparations, the lamb Nihari and tandoori roti for breakfast are a must do, though they even serve it in evenings for a few hours.
 |
| M in front of Karims entrance - should I order the Nihari, Paya, Qorma or all three ? |
The Tandoori Roti and Nihari are a perfect couple :). Try it at Karims or Al-Jawahar. Which one is better? Well, the jury has been undecided for all these years.
 |
| This happens to be the breakfast crowd at Shyam Sweets. Try out their Bedmi Pooris. |
Enough of oily and calorie filled food...try the fresh fruit instead.
There is also a lot to satisfy your sweet tooth

| Rabarhi |
And how can one forget Daulat ki Chaat. Only available for a few months of winter, I cant wait for it this year. Another few weeks to go I guess.
And the Khurchan at Hazarilal Jain...yum!
And the best way to finish off everything you ate is by way of a thick lassi at Amritsari Lassiwaale near Fatehpuri gate.
