28°37′N 77°14′E / 28.62°N 77.23°E Bengali Market is among the oldest and most popular markets in New Delhi, India. The actual name of the market is Bangali Mal Market, but over the years it has come to be known as just Bengali Market, though it has nothing to do with the Indian state of West Bengal. It was built by Bengali Mal Lohia in 1930.[1] It is a relatively small market, comprising several stores situated in a circular manner around a traffic roundabout. Today, it is famous for its North Indian street food, and shops selling sweets such as Nathu's Sweets (sp.channa Bhature) and Bengali Sweet House.[2][3]
Around 2000 families live in the immediate surrounding posh residential area, which is officially named Babar Road, however this area is also popularly referred to as Bengali Market. The Bengali Market area also includes Triveni Kala Sangam and Mandi House.
