Delhi's Sita Ram Diwan Chand: A Legacy of Traditional Chhole Bhature Since 1947
Sita Ram Diwan Chand, a renowned Delhi eatery, began as a cycle cart by 15-year-old refugee Sita Ram after Partition in 1947. Known for its Lahori-style chhole bhature with paneer-stuffed bhature, seasonal achaar, and chutney, the shop grew from a street cart to five outlets. Now run by the fourth generation, it maintains traditional preparation methods, including hand-ground spices and rotating pickles, serving customers daily in Paharganj since 1965.
