The Delhi Food Awards by Delhi Food Walks is a celebration of the people, stories and traditions that shape Delhi’s legendary street food culture. The platform honours street food vendors who keep authentic flavours alive while setting benchmarks in quality, consistency and innovation.
The awards also recognise women entrepreneurs and veteran food makers whose contributions have enriched the city’s culinary identity for generations, promoting inclusivity and respect within the food community.
Bringing together food experts, chefs, historians and content creators, the Delhi Food Awards serves as a platform for meaningful conversations around food heritage, emerging trends and the future of street food culture. More than an awards ceremony, it is an initiative dedicated to documenting, celebrating and elevating Delhi’s diverse culinary legacy.
Founder and CEO, Delhi Food Walks
The Delhi Food Awards has been conceptualised and conducted by Anubhav Sapra, one of India’s pioneering voices in street food documentation and culinary storytelling. Through his extensive work with Delhi Food Walks, he has spent over a decade documenting regional food cultures, preserving traditional food knowledge and bringing attention to the people behind India’s diverse culinary landscape.
Driven by a vision to recognise the unsung heroes of Delhi’s food scene, the Delhi Food Awards was created as a platform to celebrate the vendors, artisans and legacy food makers who have shaped the capital’s rich street food culture across generations.
Under his leadership, the Delhi Food Awards recently concluded its successful 4th edition, continuing its mission of spotlighting authenticity, diversity, craftsmanship and culinary heritage. The platform has steadily evolved into an important cultural initiative that not only honours iconic food vendors but also documents and amplifies the stories that define Delhi’s ever-evolving food identity.
