About
Szybkie fakty: Crowds squeeze through narrow lanes lined with jewelers, cloth merchants and morning wholesale traders, and boisterous bargaining can shave prices by up to a third for confident haggling. At night the space flips into a bustling street-food market under strings of bare bulbs, where vendors serve sizzling pav bhaji, tangy chaat and spiraling jalebi to leaning queues.
Najważniejsze atrakcje: After 10 PM more than 60 food stalls pop up, their woks spitting oil and chilies while the air fills with ghee, cardamom and smoky sugar as jalebis fry in big coils. A quirky local habit sees jewelers stacking tiny silver samples into pyramid piles during festival nights, and one elderly goldsmith still keeps sales recorded in a handwritten ledger dated 1925.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and light cotton clothing, the lanes are narrow and temperatures rise at night.
- Carry small change and a napkin, many vendors do not accept cards and surfaces can be greasy.
- Ask vendors for portion sizes before ordering and prefer shared plates to try multiple stalls.
- Avoid peak weekend hours if you dislike crowds, weekday nights are lively but slightly less packed.
