About

Officially Muhammad Bin Qasim Road and usually spelled Burns Road, the street takes its name from James Burnes, a Scottish doctor who worked in nineteenth-century British India. It is famous for its eateries, many of which date from the 1940s. The neighbourhood is a meeting point for communities from across the subcontinent, and that mix shows in the food, from kebabs to rabri and sweets.

Best time to go: Come hungry after dark, when the street is at its busiest, and share several dishes between you.
