Delhi’s food capital, Chandni Chowk, is ready to stir up the appetite of the city with a celebration like no other. Omaxe Chowk is bringing the spotlight back to Old Delhi’s legendary flavours with ‘Daawat-e-Challenge’, a two-day food-eating competition to be held on June 28 and 29, 2025, at the popular Dawatpur Food Court.

Celebrating the rich heritage of Delhi’s culinary past, the event is designed as an immersive, high-energy food fest where over 100 teams from across Delhi-NCR will compete for prizes, pride, and of course—plates full of iconic street food.

The competition will unfold in multiple spicy and savoury rounds. On Day 1, participants will begin with Round 1, where 20–25 teams will take on the challenge of quickly finishing Golgappe, Dahi Bhalla, and Tikki in just a couple of minutes.

Winners will then advance to Round 2, a test of speed and spice tolerance with Paranthas, Kachori, and Matar Kulcha. The top teams will battle it out in the Grand Finale on Day 2, where a massive Grand Thali Challenge awaits. This round will push appetites and timing to the limit in a 5–7 minute showdown.

To honour the champions of this gastronomic showdown, exciting prizes are on the table:

•  First Prize – ₹50,000
  

• Second Prize – ₹30,000
  

•  Third Prize – ₹20,000
  

Participants will also receive exclusive food vouchers, turning their eating efforts into a delicious win. The competition will feature dishes prepared by well-known food brands at Omaxe Chowk, such as:

• Jung Bahadur Kachori
  

• Kuremal’s Kulfi
  

• Chaat Town
  

• Gaya Prasad – Paranthe Wali Gali
  

• Amritsari Express
  

• Ghoomar
  

• Cafe Chennai
  

From crispy snacks to rich desserts, the event is not only a contest but a true celebration of Chandni Chowk’s legendary food culture.

Speaking about the initiative, Jatin Goel, Executive Director, Omaxe Group, said:

“Omaxe Chowk has always aimed to revive and celebrate the timeless charm of Old Delhi’s culinary traditions. Through Daawat-e-Challenge, we are creating an interactive platform that brings the community together in a fun and culturally rooted way. We are excited to welcome participants and spectators to what promises to be a spirited and flavourful event.”

The contest will be open to teams of two, with a small entry fee per team. The format encourages teamwork and community participation, making it as much about shared memories as it is about winning.

With the Daawat-e-Challenge, Omaxe Chowk is once again reinforcing its position as a cultural and commercial landmark in Delhi. From golgappas to kulchas, the event promises laughter, flavour, fun, and fierce competition — all rooted in the timeless magic of Old Delhi’s street food. So whether you're in it to win it or just there to savour the vibe, Daawat-e-Challenge is where Delhi’s appetite meets its heart.
