This place is located in Old Delhi: you can eat street food and at the same time immerse yourself in a magical atmosphere.

Parathe Wali Gali is an alley and has a history of 140 years. The first store was founded in 1872 and in 1911 it was officially named Paranthe Wali Gali. It is located in the center of Chandni chowk, which is a part of Delhi-6. The name refers to the Paratha which is a typical flat bread of the peoples of the Indian subcontinent: it is a bread made with wheat flour in a hot pan with oil and usually filled with vegetables.This street always seems to be full of people thanks to the gastronomic experience it offers visitors. The fillings are delicious and you can find more than 25 types such as khoya, papad, bitter gourd, banana, rabdi, etc. These parathas are served with curry, mint chutney, tamarind chutney, and an exotic sweet pumpkin preparation.
