Paranthe Wali Gali

Tradition rules the old city’s street food. It’s not just the delicious offerings but there’s a lot more lending itself to its iconic status. The dingy lane, originally known as the Dareeba Khurd was almost barren, spotted with a few sariwallahs and silver shops when a Brahmin family from Gwalior gave it a new meaning. They started a legacy that has continued for generations. Back in the day, there were about 10 to 12 paratha shops - all owned by the same family. You could see and smell them at every corner. The Paranthe Wali Gali became the word around the neighborhood.

Khari Baoli is a street in Delhi, India known for its wholesale grocery and Asia's largest wholesale spice market selling all kinds of spices, nuts, herbs and food products like rice and tea. Hundreds of traders and buyers gather in the market for trading spices, and you will be surprised how trade happens here in such an orderly and organised manner.
