Babu Ram Devi Dayal Paranthe Wale

Since 1886, Babu Ram Devi Dayal has been serving the best paranthas in New Delhi. Paranthas are a type of stuffed Indian bread served with small portions of sabzi (vegetables cooked in a salty sauce). The magic happens when you mix different breads and sabzis to create new and surprising flavor combinations depending on the ingredients of each bread and curry. We tried paranthas stuffed with lemon, potatoes, peas, and cheese, and a variety of sabzis including lentils, pumpkin, and cauliflower. The combination of the lemon parantha with the pumpkin sabzi was a revelation, honestly one of the best things we tried during our trip to India! The restaurant is located in Gali Paranthe Wali, a street near the famous Chandi Chowk market that is dedicated 100% to parantha restaurants. If you're eager to explore the world of street food in New Delhi, this street is a good place to start. The restaurant itself is small and casual, with a few open tables on the streets and a dining room reserved for families on the first floor. If you visit Delhi, sooner or later you will pass through Chandi Chowk and when you do, you have to visit Babu Ram Devi Dayal. 100% recommended.
