The nation's capital, New Delhi, or as we affectionately refer to it, "Dilli," is home to several historical sites, cutting-edge architectural marvels, historic temples, and a wide variety of people. The National Capital region, which includes the satellite towns of Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Noida, and Faridabad, was constructed rapidly. Additionally, this relieved some of the strain on Delhi, wracked by pollution and overpopulation.
Despite everything, Chandni Chowk is a popular tourist destination in New Delhi, drawing both domestic and international visitors. The majestic Red Fort and the historic Jama Masjid offer breathtaking views that you can take in.
However, Chandni Chowk is also well-known for its street cuisine. Old Delhi's central business district, Chandni Chowk, is home to several decades-old eateries and street food vendors. If you enjoy eating street cuisine and your taste buds, tingle for outrageously delicious flavors, head to Chandni Chowk and let your inner foodie loose. We have produced a list of Chandni Chowk's street mazes' must-visit eateries.
