Dilli 6 Food Festival: Experience culinary glory of Old Delhi - Check date, timings, price and other details

Dilli 6 Food Festival: The cultural and culinary glory of markets of Purani Dilli is famous not only in India but around the world. From 'Paranthe Wali Gali' to 'Daulat Ki Chaat', there's so much to relish. But many don't have the courage to go through the narrow lanes and pass through the old houses of Delhi 6 or Dilli 6. For the uninitiated, Delhi 6 is the shortened form of the PIN code for the Chandi Chowk area of Old Delhi - 110006. 

For such people, 'Dilli 6' is back in the national capital. 'Dilli 6', one of the popular food festivals in Delhi, gives you the whole essence of Old Delhi under one roof.

Edesia at Crowne Plaza Today New Delhi Okhla is offering a unique dining experience through its ongoing festival, now in its 13th edition. For this, it has roped in street food 'khansamas' from the by-lanes of 'Purani Delhi'.

It is themed “Bazaar-E-Purani”, an ode to the iconic marketplaces of Chandni Chowk which have stood through times, generations and dynasties. One can relish deep-fried bread from Chandni Chowk’s iconic ‘paranthe wali gali’ and enjoy LIVE Biryani, Kebabs, Kulfis Jalebis and Chaat counters buzzing with action for a street-style experience. 

“Our chefs have collaborated with local khansamas to capture the secrets behind the aromatic delicacies which are deeply rooted in Chandni Chowk’s culture. Our food menu celebrates the street food hawkers of the old city in an extremely hygienic set-up,” said Ashutosh Bisht, executive sous-chef at Crowne Plaza, Okhla.

The menu, a mix of the best street delicacies and main course specials, also includes gastronomical delights like ‘Mutton Nihari’, ‘Chicken Changezi’, ‘Murgh Begum Bahar’, ‘Kofta Sham Savera’, and ‘Dal Dilruba’ paired with ‘Roomali rotis’, ‘Rogani naans’, ‘Doodh wali roti’ and ‘Dry fruit Sheermal’.

This festival is also going to be an amazing experience for those having sweet tooth. Such people can conclude their meal with soul-satisfying desserts such as Daulat Ki Chaat, Sunhari Papita Halwa, Palang tod Barfi, Phirni, Shahi Tukda, Habshi Halwa, Rabdi Faluda and much more.
