Its all about food at Chandini Chowk, Old Delhi , India

March 2015

 

As my first ,”Food Space “ as I would like to call it , I would like to share with you the gastronomical magic of Chandini Chowk, in the heart of Old Delhi where I would like to think that the true dilliwallas(People from Delhi) reside.

The summer of 2014 , was a truly a treat for me as I booked a food tour with Anubhav Sapra's Delhi Food Walks.( You must book a food walk with him if you are in Delhi at www.delhifoodwalks.com)  My little sister is a foodie too and loves her nihari’s and kebabs..thus it wasn’t difficult for me to find a companion especially when I mentioned my wish to take the food walk inside Delhi’s food paradise .
