Gali Parathi Wali in chandni chowk is known for its parathas, Dec 2006.

Gali Paranthe Wali ^[1] or Paranthe wali Gali ^[2], (literally "the lane of fried bread") is the name of a narrow street in the Chandni Chowk area of Delhi, India, noted for its series of shops selling paratha, a fried Indian bread, and now a popular culinary desination ^[3]^[4]^[5].

[edit] History

Chandni Chowk was established in 1650 AD, built along with the Red Fort by the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan ^[3].

Earlier this lane was known only for its silverware shops, before the Parantha shops moved in, first in 1870s ^[6], though many sari and jewellery shops are still in this lane.

In late 1980s many of them closed shop and moved out, though today this place is experiencing a revewal; and some shops are being run by the sixth generation of the same family ^[7].
