Paranthe Wali Gali
Delhi, India
The read// why locals go
Paranthe Wali Gali is not a restaurant but a lane — a narrow alley off Chandni Chowk where families have been frying stuffed flatbreads since the nineteenth century, each shop working its own recipes. Parathas here are stuffed with everything from potato and cauliflower to paneer, fried in ghee and served with pickle, chutney and vegetable sides on a metal tray. A meal costs around ₹80, and it is eaten early, elbow to elbow, at marble tables barely wider than the plate. The lane is a piece of Old Delhi food history that is still trading rather than commemorated. Come for breakfast, when the pans are at their busiest.
