Before you go
Go on a weekday evening if you can. Weekends are crowded. Carry cash in small notes and wear shoes you can walk in.
What to eat
- Keema samosas, small and crisp
- Pathar ka gosht, mutton cooked on a hot stone
- Chaat from the carts near the market
- Malai and kulfi to finish
How to stay comfortable
Eat small portions at many places rather than a big meal at one. Choose stalls with a high turnover. Carry water.
Once you finish, walk through Laad Bazaar, covered in our Old City guide.
