***************************************
This Ramadan, join the celebrations at Shahjahanabad and delve into the festivities and cultural traditions of Old Delhi. Enjoy the mouth-watering delicacies that line Old Delhi's lively alleys with the Iftar Walk hosted by ‘Delhi Walks’.
Enjoy an Iftar evening at Old Delhi’s Jama Masjid where the lively lanes of Shahjahanabad are literally bristling with a wide range of sumptuous vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisines and the air is infused with the delicious scent of spices and syrupy desserts. Enter the sacred precincts of Old Delhi’s Jama Masjid and witness thousands of people breaking their roza (fast) with members of their community, making you appreciate the importance of self-reflection and spirituality.
“Delhi Walks” will walk you through the serene precincts of India’s largest mosque to an exclusive location where you can take in the awe-inspiring, panoramic view of Shahjahanabad’s efflorescent culture, while simultaneously feasting on a traditional Iftar meal consisting of a glass of milk coupled with dates, bananas, pakoras, apples and sheermal.
If the imperial mosque of Jama Masjid is all about cultural interactions, then the lively neighborhoods that encompass Jama Masjid are solely meant to satiate culinary cravings. “Delhi Walks” shall take you through chock-a-block alleys like Matia Mahal and Chawri Bazaar that serve a whole platter of gob-smacking dishes like Mutton Korma, Chicken Jahangiri and the like. Walk down these alleyways and munch on a plate of spicy pakoras or experiment with traditional Indian biscuits like nankhatai and rusks made in ovens fired by
charcoal. Cool your stomach with refreshing, summery delights like creamy dahi vadas and sherbet topped with fresh watermelon cubes.
Appease your sweet tooth in the lanes of Old Delhi with sumptuous desserts like shahi tukda, kulfi faluda, Imartee and sewaiyaan leaving you spoilt for choice. “Delhi Walks” will also drop by the choicest bakeries to enjoy crispy snackers like matthi and namak-paare with a piping hot glass of chai or icy cold flavoured milk, depending on the kind of space that’s left in your overloaded yet satisfied tummy!
Join “Delhi Walks” for a memorable Iftar evening in the heritage city of Shahjahanabad and enjoy mouthwatering cuisines, intriguing storytelling sessions, vivid cultural engagement and authentic Ramadan experiences. We offer authentic culinary experiences in cities across India. “Delhi Walks” offers new and delicious ways to experience a city and takes you through historic neighborhoods for food-focused experiences that let you enjoy the regional cuisines of India.
