In the heart of Shahjahanabad, now known as Old Delhi, a centuries-old tradition flourishes that has captured the hearts of food lovers for generations. Steeped in the rich legacy of the Mughal Empire, this historic district is a sensory celebration of flavours, aromas, and cultural heritage. And amidst the vibrant chaos of Old Delhi, one particular drink stands out as a symbol of love and tradition—Mohabbat ka Sharbat.
This beloved drink, which translates to "the drink of love," has been a cherished part of Delhi’s culinary landscape for decades. Made from chilled milk, fragrant rose syrup, and juicy chunks of sweet watermelon, Mohabbat ka Sharbat offers the perfect balance of refreshment and sweetness. Traditionally enjoyed during the holy month of Ramzan, it has become a year-round favourite for those seeking a moment of joy on a hot day. Vendors masterfully craft this drink, swirling the ingredients into a luxurious and refreshing elixir—a delightful combination of heritage, flavour, and love.
For over 45 years, the khau gully (food alley) opposite the Jama Masjid in Old Delhi has been home to countless culinary delights. From spiced kebabs to flaky parathas, the street offers a mesmerising array of dishes that tell the story of Delhi’s diverse and rich food culture. And amid this bustling scene, Mohabbat ka Sharbat shines as the ultimate sweet treat—simple yet sophisticated, refreshing yet indulgent.
