Afghani food is probably one of the oldest cuisines that came to India. The Kashmiri lane in Bhogal, South Delhi is the home to Delhi’s Afghan settlement. The aroma of butter and dough lingers, as naanwais, or traditional bread makers, bake batches of fresh flatbread all day long. Forget the fancy croissants and bagels for a day and indulge in the desi bread!
What To Expect?
Bhogal’s narrow Kashmiri Lane is always bustling with activity. The scent of butter and dough tease the senses as you walk past the shops of the famous naanwais. Dig into khajuri, sweet, crusty naan shaped like dates or khajur, or go for something savory and classic, this place will be very hard to disappoint you.
What You’ll Love?
It’s hard to miss the small and large shops baking bread and serving authentic Afghani food all over the place. Do not forget to try the sweet, round, sesame-sprinkled roht; diamond-shaped khasa and the very similar gir; the potato-stuffed bolani, which is served with a tomato-chili chutney. The little establishments you must not miss are Darya, Darbar, and Balkh.
Bottom Line
Bread lover or meat. This place is for everyone alike. Experience the mini – Afghanistan and tell us what you like about it best!
