The Chole Bhature King of New Delhi | Street Food Icons
Ойын-сауық
Kawal Kishore Saluja and his family run Chache Di Hatti, a hole-in-the-wall eatery in New Delhi, India. On the menu is one single dish - Chole Bhature.
What sets Chache Di Hatti apart is their chole masala - a secret recipe handed down to Kawal Kishore by his father.
The eatery has been serving Chole Bhature since 1957 from just that one location and Kawal Chacha is in no hurry to make any changes. If you are in New Delhi, and want a heady Dilli ka nashta, do go over to Chache Di Hatti. Be prepared for the long queue, and the most amazing taste!

@hello Well if you mention "world" in your comment then even as per current world's standard 90/- is fairly reasonable price which is equivalent to $1.13. India's scale of earning as a overall including rich or poor is certainly mediocre. It's just India as collective figure could not provide that level of earning which developed or developing parts of the world are insured with.

Right from my KMC days in eighties, I have been their regular client. Very well said by owners that the branded chole bhature costing 150-200 per plate are worthless compared to their offering. I have observed the Haldiram or Bikaneri bhature turn papad after sometime whereas Chacha ke bhature retains the softness even till next day. Their only emerging competitor is just round the corner to their shop I.e. SS Amritsari kulche wala

Relived college times when this was a weekly staple! Visited them again this year after a long gap and the taste and experience was the same!! The uncle and his kids are so smiling and respectful, you can see they really like doing this! And aren’t we glad!!
Simple, tasty commoners food loved since ages. The owner bears such simple yet strong work ethics and philosophy, especially the discipline. Admirable 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I grew up in Delhi, moved out of India and watching this video made my mouth water so much and made me miss the food. I just have one request for them, please start opening the shop on Sundays!! Chole Bhature are the staple breakfast for Sundays!!

Best Chole bhature I've had are those of Om Di Hatti(Shkati Nagar Chowk), CDH and Gol Hatti(Fatehpuri).
