'''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.<ref>[http://www.india9.com/i9show/Bengali-Market-28664.htm Bengali Market] India9.</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowUserReviews-g304551-d945998-r56468491-Bengali_Sweet_House-New_Delhi_National_Capital_Territory_of_Delhi.html|title=Bengali Sweet House|date=|publisher=[[Trip Advisor]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zomato.com/ncr/restaurants/central-delhi/connaught-place/bengali-sweet-house-1914|title=Bengali Sweet House|date=|publisher=[[zomato]]}}</ref>
