The Chandni Chowk, also known as Moonlight Square is one of the oldest and busiest markets in the Old Delhi neighbourhood. On both sides of the wide Chandni Chowk are historical residential areas served by narrow lanes (gali), several of which are teeming with the peddlers, street vendors, street food and bazaars. Chandni Chowk’s speciality is its variety and authenticity: food, delicacies and sweets of more than 1,000 kinds, sarees with chikan and zari. Narrow lanes host shops that sell books, clothing, electronics, consumer goods, shoes and leather goods. Chandni Chowk is also home to several notable restaurants and halwais (confectioners).
