When you go to Chandani Chowk, another must to have delicacy is Jalebi at Chandni Chowk's Dariba Nukkad. These jalebis are made in pure ghee by them since last so many decades and liked by people all over the world. Even Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Rajiv Gandhi and Deve Gowda - all former Prime Ministers were fond of his jalebis.

You wouldn't believe the amount of variety and beautiful clothes and jewelry the little shotps in CC are carrying. I walked into a shop and ended up spending four hours there because they still hadn't run out of all they had to show me. So, don't be afraid to be a little adventurous there with just a bit of caution.

Chandani Chowk is definitely invigorating. You have to take a rickshaw to the inside streets..that was an interesting experience. If you don't like crowds and tight spaces, this might not be for you. But there are some good speciality markets where you can buy stuff at cheaper prices than in other more touristy markets.

Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi is a very interesting area. It's not clean and does not have wide spaces like New Delhi. But it has spice, cloth, jewellery shops that have been around for many many years, you just have to know where to find them.

Chandni Chowk! An overload on your senses! Old Delhi is very different than New Delhi - little rough and lots of people.

Visiting India this year and thinking about going to Chandni Chowk in Delhi. Can women go there by themselves or can it be uncomfortable?

You have visit Chandani Chowk to see the true spirit of India. Chandani Chowm translates into "Well-lit roundabout" which is the oldest market place in Delhi. You are still see the old narrow streets and enjoy the traditional Indian snacks as they are supposed to taste. Do forget the Paronthe Wali (Parontha is stuffed Indian flat bread) galli.

I have just read the peacock throne by sujit saraf and recommend it as a must holiday read as you explore the delights of old chandni chowk.

I'm reading the peacock throne right now, and it is cool! I have been to chandni chowk a few times, and the novel takes me back.

Chandni chowk is a very crowded and congested place. Be aware of pick pockets and thief's otherwise you will repent later.

I loved CC and visited twice while I was in Delhi. You can buy anything there and don't forget to bargain. Get some Jalebis or go to Haldiram's while you are there for some food. Wandering through the tiny alleys in the cloth market was a colourful and exciting adventure!
