What naan-sense!
This place holds legendary status for serving Virat Kohli’s favourite chole bhature in the city. But we suggest you skip it and dive straight into the Amritsari Chur Chur Naan and Dal Makhani combo. The naan arrives as flaky, buttery layers that pair perfectly with the slow-cooked, deeply comforting black lentil gravy.

Yeh nihari hai khaas!
Tucked away in Byculla, this old and unassuming joint operates with rickety tables and zero pretensions. If you can look past the basic setup, you will find a bowl of Nalli Nihari that is packed with raw Delhi nostalgia. The meat melts off the bone into a fiery, fragrant gravy that tastes like it was simmered overnight on a winter street corner in
Old Delhi.
At Delhi Khaas, Shop Number 1, Shakkarwala Building, Shaikh Hafizuddin Marg, Madanpura, Byculla.
Cost Rs 130
Chatpata chaat
Pics/Special Arrangement
Chaats of Delhi have a unique hold. And, if you like a million textures in every bite, the Palak Patta Chaat is the way to go. Crispy, batter-fried spinach leaves are piled high with cool yogurt, tangy tamarind chutney, and bright pomegranate arils. Every bite has an addictive crunch.

Not so sweet ladoo
In bustling Bandra, this premium mithai shop features a chaat counter. It is one of the few places in the city where you can track down Delhi’s beloved street food, Ram Ladoo. These crisp, golden moong dal fritters arrive piping hot, blanketed in grated radish and a vibrant, spicy green chutney that clears the sinuses instantly.
