Delhi isn’t called a foodie’s heaven for no reason! The city literally spoils you for choice when it comes to food – from fine dining, to casual cafes or for that matter, street food – the city has got it all.

Everyone talks about the cafes and fine dining restaurants in the city, but here’s taking a look at what the city streets have to offer us:

1. Kake Di Hatti, Fatehpuri, Delhi

The best place for those who want to indulge in some real north Indian cuisine, Kake Di Hatti has the best dal makhani and naan to offer. You might frown down on the costs, but we’re pretty sure you won’t be able to go beyond just one of their naans or parathas – yes, they’re huge and really filling!

2. Dahi bhallas, Chandni Chowk

Chandni Chowk is ‘the’ place for street foods. And no matter what one says, there is absolutely no other that can offer such variety at affordable costs. The place offers dahi bhallas at just INR 40 per plate – and no it isn’t a per piece price. The bhallas are so humongous that you’ll never end up complaining about the portion!

Famous for their crisp and tangy golgappas, Ruler’s Paan and Chaat Corner is located in Greater Kailash, Delhi. The most frequented place for those who don’t want to go through the Chandni Chowk madness, this place offers just about everything when it comes paans and chaats – name it and you got it!

4. Giani’s, Fatehpur, Delhi
