Street food in Delhi

I recently paid a visit to Chittaranjan Park, near Nehru Place in South Delhi.The DDA Market No 1 has an amazing variety of inexpensive non veg street food.
There are at least 4 shops selling Kolkata style kathi rolls - egg roll, mutton roll, paneer roll, chicken roll and egg chicken roll and many others too. The shop also has a chinese-chat counter which sells everything form chowmein, veg manchurian, chicken manchurian and chilly chicken and sweet and sour chicken. To round off the experience there are outlets selling hyderabadi dum biriyani, momos, ghugni and mutton - gughni.
To finally round up, there are a few shops selling authentic bengali sweets like rosogollas and misti doi.
I would like my fellow ILites to tell me about street food in other parts of Delhi.

Hi Bandana,

Nice to hear that you are enjoying yourself with those delicious foods. I was myself feeling the urge to have some Garam rolls.

Well other places where I had good street foods are in Chandni Chowk, the parathas there are real tasty and behind Sarojini Nagar market you will get different types of chats.

I am certain the food lovers will surely help you to find more street food good places in Delhi.

I must say I love the chat served in Delhi. Some of the best and authentic chat can be found only in the walled city area or rather Delhi-6. I and my friend drop for the papri chat at the Shree Balaji Chat Bhandar. Their papri chat with its chick peas and tamarind chutney is simply out of this world. Another must have is the Lala Babu Chat Bhandar at 77, Chandni Chowk right opposite McDonalds. Their samosas have a unique filling of phoolgobi and matar (just like bengali samosas) and are very popular.

Finally, for the fruit chat my favourite shop is the Jugal Kishore Ramji Lal at Chawri Bazar, Chandni Chowk, Delhi-6.I quite like the fruit chat and what is more it is quite friendly on the pocket.

A very informative thread. But the Chandni Chowk area is also famous for its non- veg delicacies too. Many shops sell mutton briyani, cooked over wooden fires and you wont find the taste anywhere else in Delhi.

I love the ice cream, flaooda and shakes available at Giani's at Fatehpuri in the walled city area. In fact, I have grown up on the tasty falooda of the shop. Giani's now offers nearly 40 flavours of ice creams including flavours like Chikoo and Jaffrani kulfi.

The shop was started by a Sardarji who migrated from Pakistan way back in 1950.The owners have always placed a premium on quality and know me as a regular. They have now started franchisees and one fine day opened a outlet near my in-laws place. My whole family has falooda's from Giani's a couple of times in a month.

No description of the mind boggling variety of street food in Delhi will be complete without the mouth watering delicacies of Old Delhi. Karim’s, near Jama Masjid has made a name for itself serving the best non veg delicacies over the years. I ordered the Lehmee Biryani Bahishti a special mutton biryani, with Khamiri Roti and Nihari. My companion relished the Shahjahani Kabab a special kebab stuffed with dry fruits.
Another famous outlet in the area is the Tunde ke kebab a more-than-century- old shop serving excellent Shami Kebabs.
