A Sensory Culinary Journey

Legendary Street Flavors of Historic Shahjahanabad

Old Delhi (originally known as Shahjahanabad, established by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1648) is the culinary beating heart of India. In these ancient winding lanes, recipes have been guarded as family secrets and passed down through four or five generations. Our guided Food Walk in Old Delhi is not just a food tour; it is a walk through history, culture, and centuries-old culinary traditions.

Guided by Mr. Jogi and our local culinary experts, you will safely navigate the crowded, vibrant alleyways of Chandni Chowk and Jama Masjid. We target only the most iconic, time-tested shops that maintain strict standards of preparation, ensuring you experience the absolute best of Delhi's street food culture without compromising on hygiene.

The Culinary Route

Iconic Food Stops & Localities

Our tour routes are designed to offer a balanced tasting itinerary, combining sweet, savory, tangy, and rich Mughal specialties.

STOP 01

Paranthe Wali Gali

Chandni Chowk

Established in the 1870s, this legendary lane features small eateries serving unique deep-fried paranthas. Stuffed with potatoes, paneer, dry fruits, or green chilies, they are served hot with pumpkin curry, spicy potato curry, and tangy sweet tamarind chutney.

STOP 02

Ghee Jalebis & Rabri

Dariba Kalan Corner

At the entry to the silver market sits the 140-year-old jalebi shop. Watch the master cooks fry massive, thick jalebis in pure desi ghee. They are soaked in saffron cardamom syrup and served piping hot alongside creamy, chilled rabri.

STOP 03

Bedmi Poori & Fruit Chaat

Chawri Bazar

Try Shyam Sweets' legendary Bedmi Poori (crispy wheat bread stuffed with spiced lentils, served with potato curry). Next, savor Kulle ki Chaat: hollowed-out fresh fruit cups filled with pomegranate seeds, boiled chickpeas, lemon, and spices.

STOP 04

Mughlai Royal Delicacies

Jama Masjid & Matia Mahal

For non-vegetarians, Matia Mahal lane is paradise. We visit Karim's (cooking heritage since 1913) for slow-cooked mutton stew, try Aslam's famous Butter Cream Chicken, and taste roasted seekh kebabs on red-hot iron grills.

STOP 05

Spice Market Sensory Walk

Khari Baoli

A walk through Asia's largest wholesale spice market. Smell aromatic cloves, cardamom, and local spice mixes. Visit an old spice vault roof to witness panoramic views of the street bazars below.

STOP 06

Traditional clay pots of kulfi and lassi

Rabri Kulfi & Mango Lassi

Sitaram Bazar

Cool down with traditional Kulfi (stuffed inside real mangoes and sliced thin) or rich, creamy Lassi served in biodegradable clay pots (kulhads). The perfect sweet ending to our walking expedition.
