PT. Gaya Prashad Shiv Charan — Restaurant in Delhi

Visited this place on a Saturday. Firstly the street was crazily crowded. Wouldn't suggest to visit on a Saturday. All prathawalas have que system. We had about 20 minutes waiting. The owner was upset as many of customers didn't follow the que and he had to repeat like school teacher. Upon getting a table we ordered for peas paratha, mirchi( green chilli) paratha, cashew nut paratha, methi( fenugreek) paratha, mix veg paratha and paneer roll paratha. Three different types of sabji(dishes) are served with sweet red chutney and mint chilli chutney. The sweet chutney has slices of banana...it adds to the flavour. Carrot pickle box is kept on teach table. The pickle of my table was smelling. I guess winter vegetable pickles tend to go stale so please be careful and check before eating.

The 3 sabji include one spicy aloo-(potato), pumpkin , less spicy aloo sabji. All Taste the same mostly. The best paratha is the cashew nut and peas paratha. Worse is the methi leaves paratha. Would not suggest that you even taste it. All parathas are fried like puri. And are not heavy. One can easily have 2and more. We had 11 parathas and paid bill of 900/-. We were 4 adults and starved. Also when you ask for the waiting time remember they tell you the upper limit. When we joined the que we were at 13-15th position and told it will take us 15 minute but it took us hardly 7-10 minutes to get the table. So waiting isn't that bad for the experience. Also More than you they are keen that the customer leaves and they get table to offer to next guest. They might sound loud and rude but it's because of the amount of people they deal on daily basis. But when you in que it's crazy to even stand where you standing. Firstly the street is too small then it's conjugated and traffic is both side. Infact locals get their bikes/ scooter also. So avoid weekend to save yourself from the madnes.

Lastly I guess for price point it's not value for money. But ya it's not heavy while eating even though it's...

Going back to the old days, and the enigmatic streets of Old Delhi. Having a visit there always astounds with a visual of unchanged remarks of historical fashion.

Having a visit at Chandni chowk and missing out on Paranthe Wali Gali, is a major bungle. The narrow patched road offering wide varieties of Paranthes since ages is one of the must go and grub place. Pt. Gaya Prasad Shiv Charan Paranthe Wale located in Paranthe Wali Gali, is an extremely compact old built outlet offering a selection of North Indian street food, including paranthas.

The ambiance though, didn't change in any sort and that definitely let you feel not to even enter in the outlet. The less spaced seating not certainly comfortable for groups or even patron with good height. The outlet is less concerned with the Hygiene factor also.

Moving to food, we had tried the paranthes not commonly been ordered. The menu informs you order at least 2 paranthas as a mandate. A plate of chutneys and aloo curry is served upon order. We had,

Paneer Parantha. Size of the parantha was unlike the normal parantha made. The moderately sized wheat flatbed with paneer in quite less quantity. The amount of stuffing inside could be improvised. Rest, the taste is decent and with aloo gravy, it is good.

Kaju Parantha. All paranthas were of same sized and more of wheat than stuffing. But this variant took all the admiration. The Kaju was roasted into the parantha, and it actually tasted splendid. The mild sweet blend of taste with the parantha was utter delish. With the add ons on plate it was nice.

Overall, the outlet is really renowned in terms of serving paranthas since ages. But by the time it is quite taken for granted, and the not concerning with improvising on any aspect, be it the quality of food, service, hygiene. Rest, its a worthy experience every time a visit to paranthe wali gali...

200 year old restaurant, give or take a few! Trek into the belly of Delhi 😊 for the sensory experience, as it's totally worth it. Located in the famous "Parathe wali Gali" of Old Delhi, this alley was always known for its parathas, having multiple restaurants that serve stuffed and sauteed bread. Generations have eaten here. Now a bit of a shadow of its former self, frequented primarily by tourists, in the heart of Chandini Chowk, a labyrinth of tiny alleys, and it's hard to locate unless you ask for directions from helpful locals. It is a hole in the wall so expect only the basics. They offer a huge range of savory and sweet parathas, mostly for less than 3 USD for 2 parathas and sides. Can't beat this value, and the history of this place. Service was prompt and I felt comfortable eating here as they make parathas right in front of your eyes, so it's fresh food. Seating is an intimate experience, in that you're rubbing elbows with others. I tried mixed vegetable paratha and a speciality bitter gourd paratha. I shared them with others because just one piece will fill you up. My main critique is that the parathas were deep fried not sauteed in the traditional manner. But totally worth it as a bucket list item if you...
