As a foodie, a trip to Old Delhi is incomplete without a visit to Paranthe Wali Gali. This narrow lane is famous for its stuffed paranthas, cooked in desi ghee. Start your morning with a hot and crispy Aloo Parantha with a side of mint and coriander chutney. In the afternoon, try the multiple variants of paranthas like paneer, rabri, and keema served with a glass of lassi or chaach. End your evening with a sweet parantha filled with rabri or a creamy kulfi.
Start your day with the iconic Nihari at Karim's, one of the oldest restaurants in Delhi. This slow-cooked meat dish is a perfect breakfast for meat-lovers. In the afternoon, try their famous Seekh Kebabs and Mutton Barra. If you're feeling adventurous, try the Bheja Fry and Gurda Masala. End your day with their signature Shahi Tukda, a royal dessert made with fried bread soaked in sugar syrup and topped with Rabri.
Other must-visit places for foodies in Delhi are Chawri Bazaar for samosas, Dilli Haat for street food, and Connaught Place for fine dining. You can also take a food tour of Delhi or explore the street food scene in Kamla Nagar, Hudson Lane, and Satya Niketan. A side trip to Agra to try the famous Petha or to Amritsar to try the world-famous Amritsari Kulcha is highly recommended.
