- Mukul GoyalJaipur, India36 contributionsFood in Chauri Bazaar to Chandani Chowk , Old Delhi in the Pre Corona days.
“It was a soothing reiki of sights, sounds and smell , of a different world all together. Eating there was just incidental.”
One fine evening, I got off at the Chauri Bazaar Metro station and walked the narrow lanes upto the South Gate of Jama Masjid to the famous ‘food street’ of Kareem’s and Al Jawahar for a hearty meal of Kali Mirch Chicken and a huge Khameeri Roti. This is where the real foodies go.
After spending two hours there, took a loop round the whole Jama Masjid through the east gate night market, to exit on the Chandani Chowk side and after travelling through another set of streets reached the Metro station of Chandani Chowk and went back home. So this was the plan.
Back at the South Gate of Jama Masjid, looking at the multitude of eateries........with food in so much of abundance, one wonders ; how can people go hungry. The list of food items besides the endless grill shops of mutton, chicken and fish , go on to the exotic dishes of the Mughal period. Be it sweets, bakery rusks, roties, everything was available. In fact besides the usual Khameer roti, the most exotic roti one can have there was the sweet dry fruit laden desi ghee Sheermal roti.
Of course I couldn’t miss the amazing historic sweets like the extra long Gulab Jamun, the Kala Jamun, kali Jalebi, white gajar ka halwa, chawal til ke pakore besides the whole range of the usual fare. The ‘sweet milk’ stalls with a variety of other milk based sweets were mouth watering.
Oh yes, I also had the amazing Shahi Tukra ...... the famous Mughal dish which was fabled to have been brought by Emperor Babur, learnt through an Egyptian cook to make use of left over breads. Everyone trying to please me by giving a bite to taste........
Probably today I managed to touch the tip of the iceberg in this milieu of Chauri Bazaar......but with subsequent visits the rusks and bakery biscuit shops that I conveniently overlooked, have to be explored.
This place is cluttered, chaotic, congested and probably the only place in the world where traffic jams are caused by cycle rickshaws,two wheelers and pedestrians !!
But it has its character ...... vendors calling out to clients, a suspected thief being beaten outside a jewellery shop, people standing in the centre of the road deep in discussions , oblivious of the traffic chaos they have caused and ....... so on.
And the cultural transition is so evident when one walks from the muslim dominated lanes of Chauri Bazaar to the front side of Jama Masjid multi talented handicraft markets, melting into the Hindu dominated delicious chaat stalls and sweet shops of Chandani Chowk. Suddenly non veg disappears from the roads and poori /kachori/bewri with aloo Sabzi and thick Jalebis becomes the order of the day.
This food trail of course ends at the strictly vegetarian Parantha wali gali behind the Gurudwara. That’s the only place in the world where you get paranthas fried in shallow pans of desi ghee, stuffed with whatever vegetable you can imagine. Oh yes. I had a sweet banana stuffed parantha !! And the ka^rela parantha is not to be missed. The menu is so vast that you could have every vegetable / dry fruit stuffing possible with mix and match options.
But, there was one common food on both sides of Jama Masjid. This common delicacy is called ‘DAULAT ki Chaat.’ And it is not the traditional chaat!!
Lodged in a straw basket on the back side of a bicycle, this heritage sweet is made from the froth of sweetened milk mixed with kesar/Elaichi flavours and dry fruits. It’s variant is called Makhan Malai in UP and is available only in the winter days as the froth is frozen in the cool breeze of the night. Here the vendors were visible till 10pm.
For many folks, this place may seem dirty and unhygienic compared to modern day kitchens and restaurants , but at the same time it is fascinating to see and smell the exciting delicacies being freshly prepared in front of you.
So go challenge your self, if you are a true foodie !!!Written 23 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Thelma D1 contributionMr Tapas and Trinetra Tours:

So when I was planning a trip this time, I ensured to give myself some time to taste the delicious dishes. I heard about Delhi Food Walk from a vlog in 2018/19 and I cannot recommend them to you enough! They really took care of me and pay heed to what I wanted to eat or didn't want to eat. I took two walks with them, one was A day in Delhi where we literally went around in Delhi (probably not the whole Delhi) and taste different dishes as well as different historic sites. On the next day, we went on to taste different dishes on "Old Delhi Night Walk".
Thank you, Harry and Delhi Food Walk for organizing this amazing trip. I will be sure to come back taste more dishes again!Written 9 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - JHYYZToronto, Canada109 contributionsI have used Explore India for a number of trips to India and travelled with them both as part of a group tour and as an individual. They are exceptional and I would highly recommend them. Their service is amazing and they are very responsive to their clients needs and wishes. Nazir and his team know the country and also know what to see and do. They have always booked great hotels, tours and food. They also take great pride in their business and want to do a great job. Fantastic company!Written 19 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Ninakurt1124Yorkville, IL122 contributionsThis was my second bike tour with Delhi by Bike and Tenzin. This time I was with a group of seven people who did the New Delhi bike tour.
We started at 8:45am and finished around 1:30pm.
Some hadn’t been on a bike in over 30 years but everyone managed just fine. We biked a little over 8 miles at a slow pace.
Tenzin has another guide riding behind you so you don’t get separated. He does a great job keeping you safe while you go through the roundabouts and sometimes are biking on very busy streets.
We did many stops and he explained a lot about the area. One of the best parts is we were able to try a lot of different foods. My favorite was the fire paan. It’s betel nuts, cashew nuts and Chuna that’s lit on fire and wrapped in a betel nut leaf. You chew it and can either spit it out or swallow it. It’s a digestive. I also tried goat (mutton) for the first time.
He provides you a helmet and bottled water.
Great tour! Nice to be able to bike and cover a bigger area. Next time I’m in Delhi I plan on doing the old Delhi bike tour with him. Thank you again for the great tour!Written 21 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - jhauser22Aargau, Switzerland40 contributionsPerfect Tour in Old Delhi, amazing impression and very informative with a great tour guide, a must to do ...and chaos on the street 😳Written 7 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- mo71ey147 contributionsDelhi Dance Academy are fantastic. I was really looking forward to this class, I found them through trip advisor, when I left a question on their page another dance company in Delhi contacted me - I’m sure they are also great but I’m so glad I stuck with Delhi Dance Academy. We were running late due to a miss communication with our driver but Nazir was very understanding. Our dance teacher was wonderful, very patient but still fun. The 2 hours went so quick. My husband has literally never danced in his life and even he had the best time (he was still doing the moves this morning around the hotel room lol) If you are in Delhi even just for a day you MUST do this. If I lived in India I would be here every other day. Can’t wait to see the video and again Thankyou so much for an awesome time!Written 6 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

It was well worth the crowds and heat. We hired a photographer while there. He took great pictures and was able to make sue we got the right spot. Be sure to ask what you are getting and for how much before you agree to it.Written 5 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Shiva EdramiBengaluru, India1 contributionAll Bullet trip in Ladakh was a dream come true. Right from the time I got my Bullet 500, Ladakh bike trip was on the back of my mind but it was 8 years and I wasn't able to make it.
Thanks to Backpackclan - I got a Bullet 500 from them for this trip in April-22. Further they added me to the group of other bulleteers who joined the expedition and the most fun part was to ride through the terrains and high altitude of the Ladakh region.
Before I forget, thanks to our Captain - Ahaan. He did a great job in leading us to this magnificent tour. Ahaan was accompanied with a backup vehicle where we could load our luggage, we had Sharukh as our mechanic who helped us to keep our bullets up-to-date.
The ride through Khardulgla pass was great - though it got slippery because of the snowfall but we all sailed through with our careful ride. Entered Nubra valley, visited Turtuk village the next day before getting into Hunder Sand Dunes.
Road from Hunder to Pangong was a little challenging but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Here comes the most difficult moment - When we reached Pangong lake it was 5:30 PM and by the time we were on the lakeside, it started snowing first followed by a storm. We came back quickly to our camp but by then few of us got affected and stayed in the camp. Next day, ahaan and support team helped to get few of us back to Leh. Kudos to them for not only taking care of us but they also helped other fellow solo travelers.
Magnificent - thats the word.Written 2 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Sara SParis, France89 contributionsI did the tour of the Golden Triangle with Vijay as a guide and it was an unforgettable experience. The itinerary was really well planned and I got to see not only the main touristic attractions but also some of the more authentic and local sites. We traveled by train and local transport whenever possible as well which added authenticity and fun to the experience. I also got to see Sanjay Colony (Delhi’s slum) and learn about the life of its inhabitants which is one the most enriching experience of my trip. In addition to a wonderful experience, I highly appreciated Reality Tours & Travels values and effort as they support locals and give back to the community in reinvesting 80% of the profit in its development. Finally, I am particularly grateful to get the opportunity to be accompanied by Vijay whom I cannot thank enough for having shared his knowledge and kindness with me. I highly recommend to book a trip with this amazing tour operator to see and appreciate the real India.Written 22 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- MaijamaeToronto, Canada22 contributionsI am not sure what is the actual tour that we took by the titles. It was more like 5 hours than 3 and we met at the Mosque, Jama Masjid, across the road from the Red Fort. Our guide was, Hamanish. We had only been in India for a few days and were still feeling jet lagged and getting use to the energy level in Delhi. His commentary and calm demeaner gave us the confidence to enjoy our surroundings. The old town was hectic with crowds, motorcycles, cows, dogs, monkey and general chaos. Hamenish did a super job in guiding us through, stopping at a few places to eat, showing us the jewellry street, the wedding market, the spice market and Delhi in full activity. We were a big group, 8. We must thank him as half of our group had trouble connecting with our Uber. He communicated with the driver and guided him until we connected. This added another 20 minutes to his day. We were really grateful to him for not abandoning us in the traffic chaos. We were very lucky to have gotten Hamanish as our guide. Our hotel concierge had only called in the morning of the same day. When we returned to Delhi we had hoped to see a new neighbourhood with India Walks but we were not so lucky. My recommendation is book them ahead if you have specific time for touring, We ended up hiring a taxi driver to drive us around to historical monuments and surprisingly that worked out as well.Written 21 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Imogen S17 contributionsAn amazing tour run by a young person who has been helped by the trust. We went as part of the G Adventures Golden Triangle tour. Able to explore parts of New Delhi which are truly local in a safe manor. Very interesting to learn about the trust and its work. Would've appreciated a little bit more on the history of the area as well.Written 9 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
