Namaste, fellow foodies! I’m thrilled to welcome you to my corner of the internet, where I share my honest and flavorful experiences exploring Delhi’s incredible food scene.
I’ve been eating my way through the capital’s lanes, from the chaotic charm of Old Delhi to the buzzing cafes of South Delhi, uncovering the best bites that make our city one of the world’s top food destinations.
Whether you’re a local looking for hidden gems or a traveler planning a food trail, you’re in the right place.
What Makes Delhi Food So Special?
Delhi is more than just the capital of India – it’s the capital of flavor. Our food culture is a mix of Mughlai richness, Punjabi boldness, street food chaos, and modern fusion creativity.
And the best part? It’s all accessible – whether you’re spending ₹50 on a plate of golgappas or ₹500 on a gourmet thali.
My Top 5 Must-Try Street Foods in Delhi
1. Golgappas at Rajouri Garden
Forget everything you know about pani puri until you’ve had the crunchy, spicy, and tangy golgappas from a roadside vendor in Rajouri. I swear by this one uncle near the Metro station who gives a free sukha puri at the end!
2. Daulat Ki Chaat – Chandni Chowk
This winter-only dessert is as delicate as a cloud and as rich as Delhi’s history. It’s made with milk foam and topped with saffron and sugar. Trust me, it melts in your mouth.
3. Paranthe Wali Gali – Old Delhi
A legendary lane where you’ll find stuffed parathas dripping in ghee. My go-to? The banana paratha – weird, sweet, and somehow addictive.
4. Kebabs at Nizamuddin
You can literally smell the spices as you walk through the narrow streets. Try the seekh kebabs or the galouti – these are meat lover’s heaven.
5. Chole Bhature – Lajpat Nagar
Soft, fluffy bhature with spicy chole, served with pickled chillis and a glass of chilled lassi. It’s heavy, satisfying, and unforgettable.
Where to Next?
I’ve barely scratched the surface. I plan to explore more hidden gems – from the oldest sweet shops in Purani Dilli to rooftop cafes in Hauz Khas. If you have any recommendations, drop them in the comments. I’d love to feature them in my next blog!
