6 Spots In Paranthe Wali Galli To Make The Most Of Delhi's Iconic Food Trail

One of the most popular spots for parathas, Kannaiylal was established in 1875 and is now run by the sixth generation of the family. You’re served a thali that includes petha, aloo in gravy, and a spicy sweet banana chutney (with unlimited refills available). Choose from over a dozen varieties of paranthas to enjoy, and we recommend the Bhindi, Gaajar, and Banana. The latter can be ordered as dessert; it features a calzone-like paratha stuffed with bananas and rabri.

LBB Tip: They also cater for private events if you want to throw a paratha party.

Jung Bahadur Kachori Wala has made a name for itself with multiple locations across Chandni Chowk. Prepared fresh right before your eyes, these kachoris are crispy, filled with a mildly spicy masala, and served with a piping hot aloo curry. The contrast between the crunch of the kachori and the richness of the gravy creates an unforgettable experience for your taste buds. The fresh coriander adds a burst of flavor, making this dish a must-have delicacy in Paranthe Wali Galli.
