A 1940s Legacy

Located right across the road from Chandni Chowk’s entrance, Natraj Dahi Bhalla Corner has been serving two iconic dishes since 1940:

  • Dahi Bhalla
  • Aloo Tikki

Their menu is small, but their taste is huge.

Why Their Dahi Bhalla Is World-Famous

The dahi bhalla here is known for its:

  • Super soft lentil dumplings
  • Ultra-creamy curd
  • Sweet, tangy, and spicy chutney mix
  • Perfectly balanced flavor
  • Light, melt-in-mouth texture

Unlike average dahi bhallas that can be dry or heavy, Natraj’s version is fluffy, airy, and soothing.

Their Aloo Tikki Is Another Must-Try

Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these tikkis are topped with:

  • Spicy green chutney
  • Sweet tamarind chutney
  • Curd
  • Fresh coriander
  • Pomegranate seeds

The result is a delicious flavor explosion.

Why This Stop Is Important

Before diving into heavier Mughlai dishes, Natraj’s snacks offer a refreshing, palate-cleansing treat.
