Status: Closed in 2015, reopened at its old Chandni Chowk premises in Aug 2024 (ThePrint/PTI).
Chandni Chowk sweet shop dating to 1790 that closed in 2015 and reopened in August 2024, known for sohan halwa.
Founded in 1790 by Lala Sukh Lal Jain, Ghantewala became one of Old Delhi's most famous halwais before shutting in 2015 amid falling sales. The Jain family, now in its eighth generation, reopened the shop at its old Chandni Chowk address in August 2024 after a spell selling online. It sells sohan halwa, Karachi halwa, dalmoth and other ghee sweets, plus chaat and chole bhature.
