Food & Coffee Shops
This is the food stop - come hungry rather than eating beforehand
Gulab Ji Chai is the counter regulars single out
Leave room for rabri, kulfi or falooda at the end
Insider Tips
Go on a weekday evening rather than a weekend
Ask locals or staff which stall numbers are worth queueing at
Pair with the Albert Hall Museum night illumination in the same garden
Carry small notes; individual stalls prefer cash
Photography Tips
Evening light and the lit counters are the strongest subject
Ask before photographing vendors at work
The open seating area is too busy for a tripod
Food shots work best under the counter lighting rather than in the seating area
