Need a break from eating street food? Try home-like meals in our PGs in Delhi.

Chache Di Hatti, Kamla Nagar

Chole Bhature in Delhi is incomplete without talking of its most popular joint, Chache Di Hatti. It opens quite early and is often sold out by noon. So if you want some extra Imli chutney with your meal, head there first thing in the morning. 

Sitaram Diwan Chand, Paharganj

Sitaram Diwan Chand in Paharganj has been serving the best chole kulche in Delhi for over 50 years now. Their bhaturas are unique because, unlike other places, they’re not fried in a pan full of oil, but made on a tava with less grease. Tasty AND healthy, we never thought we would say those words in a single sentence.

Shree Gopal Ji Chole Bhature, Rohini

This place is so good that there’s a queue in front of it every day, even before it opens fully. Nothing fancy, just a good ol’ plate of chole bhature with a glass of lassi. But it’s enough to make you stand in line for thirty minutes.

Anand Ji Chole Bhature, Lajpat Nagar

Anand Ji is known to serve the best chole bhature in South Delhi. This shop in Lajpat Nagar makes their chole with less oil and the bhaturas are medium-sized, perfect for the ones who don’t like stuffing too much into their mouth early in the morning. 

Baba Nagpal Corner, Lajpat Nagar

Baba Nagpal Corner’s chole is the perfect blend of buttery and spicy. This restaurant is only for take-outs so keep that in mind before coming. When you’re tired from lifting shopping bags in Lajpat Nagar, come here to pack a plate (or two) of the best chole bhature in South Delhi for dinner.

Bhogal Chole Bhature, Janpath

This cute little eatery in Janpath has been winning the heart of Delhiites for the last sixty years. Their chole is unlike any other in the city, it’s spicy, comes with mango pickle and is topped with a flavourful kofta. Basically a 3-in-1 dish. 

Nand Di Hatti, Chandni Chowk

Sadar Bazaar is known for its food joints, and this one serves one of the most famous chole bhature in Delhi. If you’re a fan of dishes made with desi ghee, this one will take your breath away (only figuratively, we hope).

Shri Radhey Krishna Chole Bhature, Karkardooma

This Delhi chole kulche shop in Karkardooma will make you feel you’re in a roadside Dhaba. The food is yum and as Dhaba food goes, inexpensive too. They also serve Chur Chur Naan, which btw is so good, it can give a tough competition to the one in Moolchand.

Bengali Sweet House, Mandi House

Bengali Sweet House is an iconic name that all Delhiites are familiar with. Located in the heart of Gol Market, this place serves some of the tastiest patties and chole bhature. If you find the chole to be too spicy, no worries. You’re literally sitting in a sweet shop.

Kwality Restaurant, Connaught Place

Chole bhature in a luxury setting? Haven’t heard of it before, right? Neither did we, until we came across Kwality Restaurant. Their Chana Bhatura is a favourite among Delhi’s elite. So if you have a few bucks to spare and are in the mood for some fancy street food, this is the place you should head down to.

Mehak Food Corner, Kalkaji

Another place serving the best chole bhature in South Delhi is this little joint in Kalkaji. Start with their samosas as snacks, eat a full plate of their special paneer wale chole bhature and end it with some jalebis. Who said you needed to go to an expensive restaurant to have a three-course meal?

Darshan Chole Bhature, Subhash Nagar

If you’re looking for the best chole bhature in West Delhi, Darshan is the first name that comes to mind. Their bhature is filled with potato and cottage cheese and when served with a bowl of chole, one is enough to keep you full for the whole day.

CL Corner, Moti Nagar

CL Corner is known for their special green coloured chole. It may sound weird, but this is due to the spinach they add to give the gravy a thicker feel. Just think of it as a special Hulk-themed meal!

Civil Lines, Wala Gurgaon

Well, their name might be a little misleading because this joint is not located in Civil Lines, but in Gurgaon. Their bhaturas are known all over Gurgaon, and it’s said that even Virat Kohli swears by them. With food this good, we wouldn’t even mind driving all the way to Gurgaon.

Om Corner, Karol Bagh

Karol Bagh is a gem when it comes to the best chole kulche in Delhi. Om Corner is just another example of how you’ll never run out of options to eat if you’re out shopping in the busy lanes of Karol Bagh.

Monika Cafe, Vikaspuri

Who thought we’d find an affordable place for chole kulche in Delhi in the posh Vikaspuri locality? But we did. And not just any place, Monika Cafe is a favourite among the locals. Answer trust them because if you have to wait for twenty minutes to get your order but finish the food in two, you know it has to be damn good.

Roshan Di Kulfi, Karol Bagh

Locals swear by it, tourists love it and regulars keep coming back for one extra serving. Roshan Di Kulfi ticks all the boxes that a good eatery should have. If you fall in love at first bite with their mouthwatering chole bhature, wait till you try their special kulfi falooda.

Standard Snacks & Restaurant, Raja Garden

One of the most famous breakfast places in this area, this restaurant is known for its famous Pindi Chana. While you can order your regular chole bhature anywhere, this dish is what makes this place so special. It has clearly raised the “standard” for all other eateries in the area.

Durga Sweet Corner, Sarojini Nagar

Stop by this small restaurant after you’ve spent hours shopping in the Sarojini Nagar Market. Snack on a plate of chole bhature and maybe some sweets too. Sarojini is known for all things affordable, and Durga Sweet corner is no exception.

Shiv Misthan Bhandar, Chandni Chowk

Old Delhi has some amazing places serving Delhi chole kulche, and Shiv Mishthan Bhandar tops that list. This eatery serves both veg and non-veg dishes but their chole bhature remains to be a bestselling item. And that hasn’t changed in more than a hundred years.
