creator Tina, known online as Doobydobap, recently did just that. During her visit to India, she went on an early-morning breakfast trail through the historic lanes of Old Delhi, documenting dishes that even many locals rarely experience.
Her food walk began as early as 5:45 am, while the city was still dark. The first stop featured a freshly prepared parantha omelette, made right in front of her. Rating it 8.5 out of 10, she described it as a hearty and satisfying start to the day.
Early Morning Food Walk

The breakfast trail continued with a piping hot cup of street-side chai. She poured it back and forth between cups in classic local style to create a frothy top. At around 7:25 am, she paused to watch the sunrise at Jama Masjid before heading to Chawri Bazar at 8 am to try chole kulche from the well-known Lotan ji.
Calling it one of her favourite dishes of the day, Doobydobap said it was something she would “remember for a long time.” She rated it an impressive 9.8 out of 10.
