Their legendary Bedmi Puri—a crispy lentil-filled delight paired with spicy aloo sabzi—is the ultimate comfort food. And don’t leave without tasting the Nagauri Halwa, a rich, ghee-laden sweet that melts in your mouth and takes you back in time.

Not only is the shop iconic, but Halwa-Puri is also an iconic Indian delicacy that is highlighted in many Hindi films.

I am a big fan of Halwa, and it would be exciting to try it out at Shyam Sweets.

Thanks for sharing this amazing place, food photos along with the various features like washrooms and accessibility @K.K.Sharma Ji :+1:

Thank you, @indahnuria! Here in New Delhi, the area known as Delhi 6 or Old Delhi is a true paradise for food lovers. It’s not just famous—it’s legendary for its rich culinary heritage. Many iconic food joints here have been serving delicious dishes for over a century, passed down through generations. From spicy chaats and kebabs to aromatic biryanis and decadent sweets like jalebi and rabri, every lane tells a tasty story. It’s a place where history, culture, and food beautifully come together!

I just love your writing style @K.K.Sharma. The way you explain in a polished way is just great and we should learn this art of writing from you.

Beside the food and your writing style, I am a great admirer of your creativity in designing cover page.

This cover page is another master piece.

Thank you for bringing such precious gems of Dilli on this platform.
