The Old Delhi Food Street and Heritage Walk is one of the most immersive cultural experiences in India, offering a perfect blend of history, architecture, and legendary street food. Centered around Chandni Chowk, this walk takes you through the heart of Old Delhi—also known as Shahjahanabad—where every lane tells a story and every corner offers a unique culinary delight.

Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest markets in India, was established in the 17th century during the Mughal era. Designed by Jahanara Begum, daughter of Emperor Shah Jahan, it was once a grand boulevard with a canal reflecting moonlight—hence the name “Moonlight Square.”

Today, it remains a vibrant symbol of Delhi’s living heritage, where ancient structures, religious sites, and bustling bazaars coexist with modern life.

The walk provides deep insights into the evolution of Delhi and the daily life of its residents.

Old Delhi is often called the “food capital” of Delhi, and the food walk is the most exciting part of the experience. As you move through the lanes, you encounter a wide variety of authentic street food from shops that have been running for generations.

The walk is a sensory overload in the best way possible. The aroma of spices, the sound of street vendors, and the vibrant colors of markets create a lively atmosphere. Areas like Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest spice market, add another layer of experience with their intense fragrances and bustling activity. “The air feels heavy with spices… a living maze of colour and smell.”
