Paranthe Wali Gali, located in the heart of Chandni Chowk, Delhi, is a renowned culinary hotspot celebrated for its diverse and flavorful parathas. This narrow lane is a bustling haven for food enthusiasts, offering a rich variety of stuffed parathas deep-fried in ghee. The eateries here have been operating for generations, some dating back over a century, providing a taste of authentic, traditional recipes [❞] [❞].The street is known for its vibrant atmosphere, with crowds navigating the busy lanes to sample parathas filled with ingredients ranging from classic potato and paneer to more unique options like rabri and dry fruits. Popular establishments include Pt. Kanhaiyalal Durgaprasad Dixit, known for its pure ghee parathas, and Babu Ram Parantha Wale, famous for its robust flavors and traditional accompaniments like aloo-matar sabzi [❞] [❞].Visitors should be prepared for a lively and potentially crowded experience, especially during peak hours. Seating can be limited, often consisting of basic stools or benches, so many people enjoy their meals on the go. Despite the hustle and bustle, the area's charm lies in its casual street-food vibe and the opportunity to savor delicious parathas at affordable prices [❞].For those new to Paranthe Wali Gali, navigating the bustling lane and communicating with vendors is part of the adventure. Most vendors understand basic English, making it easier for non-Hindi speakers to order. It's advisable to arrive with an empty stomach and a willingness to explore the various flavors and aromas that define this iconic food street [❞].

Taste – 5/5 Portions – 5/5 Service – 5/5 Value for money – 5/5 Nothing can beat the joy of having delicious paranthas and this place covers all your parantha cravings to the extreme. Whatever one can think of as a stuffing, those paranthas are being served here since 1875. Friendly staff, great service and pocket friendly prices, this place has got you all covered. I tried: 1. Papad parantha – 5/5 Absolutely loved the crunch of the parantha stuffed with fried papad served with delicious alloo sabzi, tangy achar, spicy mint chutney and sweet banana chutney. The super crunchy papad with the delicious sabzi topped with chutney made a wholesome scrumptious meal that just cant get any better. 2. Rabri parantha – 4/5 Delicious creamy and thick rabri and nuts were stuffed in the parantha and the dough was shaped very similar to a gujiya and each bite of the fried parantha was a true traditional indulgent dessert ready to dig in. It would have reached perfection if was cooked for a little longer but nevertheless it tasted amazing and was absolute worth the try. They serve many varieties, do try for yourself when you visit old delhi for the next time.

Chandni Chowk known for its tradition, glory, fable and mouth-watering food. Parantha wait Gali, these days there are total three paranthas shop are there where one can get almost 50 varieties of paranthas - aloo, gobhi, gur, jaggery, Mirchi, khoya, cashew, okra, tomato and what not. The dingy lane, originally known as Dareeba Khurd, in 1872, a family from Gwalior - Madhya Pradesh settle down here and started selling paranthas along with kaddu and aloo ki sabzi ... Since then it's glory started and how it's consider as legend. In 2019, the owner claim of to be sixth generation of the family -- all three shop claim that it was dere shop who started it first -- but in reality they r cousins -- all three shop same options and cooking method of all three parantha shop is same. During 1900 dere use to be 10-12 shops of paranthas. Although, now, one can get better parantha somewhere else too ... But, now it's all about game and legacy. People come and pay for the legacy these shop earn not for the taste. Although, dey taste unique and varieties and sabzi are nice, even these days but not healthy option for daily eating.

Paranthe wali gali is very famous for its deep fried parantha with variety of stuffed parantha from aaloo, gobhi to dry fruits to karela bhindi, mava what not. It is one of the oldest food points in Delhi. I thi k it is more of stuffer kachori than the parantha. You can get 1 parantha around 60-70rs but the catch is you have to atleast but 2 paranthas. If you can't eat 2 don't bother coming and waiting. Sometimes it is so crowded that you have to wait around an hour. And the que is so long that it covers all the gali. One more thing is that if you order lassi at parantha shop without ordering parantha you won't get one. Sorry but that's true instead you can order lassi at the specific shop located there.

I came from Indore, we have Sarafa food street, many food carnivals running. Being a foodie I consider Sarafa of Indore not tasty anymore it used to be good. But even that Sarafa is better than parathe wali gali. Come on Delhi. I expected so much from you. You are true north not south India where I know that northern dishes won’t be good. We found few shops, not even single one knows how to make. I do cook myself I know what masala they used and they lacked. It’s so badly crowded people doesn’t even know that this is very low. This is why people who visit Indore loves the taste of it.

Went couple of years back. Damn crowded it was. We went to the paranthe wali gali and had paranthas in one of the restaurants aka dhabas. We had mirchi, brinjal, potato onion, karela paranthas. The paranthas have lost their earlier taste and flavour and quality. Deep fried paranthas and not too good. Had a nice time exploring though. But a bad incident happened with us where my purse was picked and I lost all the money. One needs to be very careful because you don’t even get to know that someone is opening ur purse and stealing your hard earned money.
