These are the exact addresses from Netflix Street Food India
After binge-watching Netflix’s Street Food in one go, I immediately started looking for plane tickets. I have to go there. But where exactly is ‘there’? Netflix does mention the names and cities, but not the addresses. I looked them up for you, made a map and am sharing it here with you. Long live the internet.
Mangla Chat Wale
When Dalchand Kashyap was growing up, his father had a stall where he sold chaat, a potato-based dish made with chutney, yoghurt and vegetables. Years after his father had to close his shop due to illness, Kashyap decided to start his own chaat business with some help from his sister, who secretly pawned her jewellery to cover the costs. Things did not go smoothly at first, until Kashyap started making his (now deceased) father’s chaat recipe. Today, it is mainly his crispy aloo tikki, a type of chaat made with lentil-filled mashed potatoes, that attracts hordes of people, and he has been recognised by the World Street Food Congress.

Kallu Nihari
Mohammed Rehan took over his father’s shop after his death. As the name suggests, Rehan’s place is known for nihari stew, a spicy meat stew that is cooked all night. Rehan makes his with buffalo meat, onion, tomato, garlic, ginger, salt, chilli and – of course – his own special spice blend. According to Rana Safvi, a cultural historian in Netflix’s Street Food, Kallu Nihari is so popular that customers are happy to wait in line for an hour to get a portion.

Karim’s
For an imperial feast, this is the place to go. More than 100 years ago, Karimuddin Sahib – a former chef to Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar – opened the restaurant. The first dish he served there was seekh kebabs, minced and seasoned lamb grilled over an open fire. Now, four generations later, Asif Mohammed is at the helm, but the recipe and preparation method have never changed. Believe me; if you’re in Delhi, you absolutely have to go here (unless you’re vegetarian), it’s fan-tas-tic.

Nand Di Hatti
Dharmender Makkan’s grandfather started Nand Di Hatti from a cart and moved into a shop in 1960. From the very beginning, he specialised in chole bhature, a cooked chickpea dish served with puffed bread. To this day, Makkan uses his grandfather’s chole bhature recipe, which is unique because it contains no onions or garlic. According to Maakan, his family’s mild chole bhature is made with coriander, mint, green chilli and pomegranate seeds and is supposed to be great for digestion. Whether that’s true? No idea. But it certainly is delicious.
