Parathas are the quintessential breakfast staple in North India. This homemade bread pairs perfectly with butter, pickle, curd, tea, or as a roll stuffed with delicious fillings. While Delhi is dotted with countless parathawalas, Moolchand Parathe Wala stands out with its unique fame and delicious offerings.

Location and Popularity

Initially popular around the Moolchand Flyover, Nehru Place, and South Delhi, Moolchand Parathe Wala gained widespread recognition with the rise of the call center/BPO culture. Open till late, it became a go-to spot for night owls and young crowds craving lip-smacking, affordable parathas.

A Visit to Remember

We often visit Moolchand Parathe Wala for its no-fuss, pocket-friendly food. Once situated on the Moolchand flyover footpath, it has now moved below the Moolchand metro station into a shop. With an address and a Zomato listing, it’s easier than ever to find.

Our Tasting Experience

During our recent visit with a friend, we sampled several parathas, including soy paratha, mix veg paratha, daal paratha, and the classic aloo pyaaz paratha. Each paratha is served with green chili pickle and boondi raita in a glass. Parathas are hearty, and one is usually enough for an average appetite.

While most parathas have a similar taste, our favorite is the daal paratha. The scattered daal on the plate is delightful on its own or mixed with raita.

Additional Offerings

In addition to vegetarian parathas, Moolchand Parathe Wala serves a popular egg paratha, which we look forward to trying. They have also introduced lassi, mineral water, and soft drink bottles.

Dining Experience

Though they lack a formal dine-in facility, there are tables outside and a counter inside. If you enjoy street food and are not particular about cleanliness, weather, or waiting, Moolchand Parathe Wala is a must-try.

Conclusion

Moolchand Parathe Wala offers a memorable culinary experience with its delicious, affordable parathas. Whether you’re a local or visiting Delhi, this iconic spot is worth a visit.
