About Chandni Chowk

Chandni Chowk is one of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi, a chaotic and vibrant maze of narrow lanes filled with shops, food stalls, and historical buildings. It is a paradise for food lovers, offering some of the best street food in Delhi, from parathas at Parathe Wali Gali to jalebis and chaat. The market is also a wholesale hub for a variety of goods, including textiles, spices, and electronics. A rickshaw ride through its crowded lanes offers a sensory overload and an authentic experience of the city's historic commercial heart.
