Gauhar/Delhi: Who does not know about the Sharbat-e-Mohabbat of Old Delhi? Whoever comes to Delhi from all over the world does not go back without tasting the sherbet here. But do you know who was the first to bring this Sharbat-e-Mohabbat to Delhi, the craze for which still continues to blow people’s minds.
Actually, according to Nawab Qureshi, who sells sherbet in Matia Mahal market of Old Delhi, he started this sherbet in the year 2000. He said that first he learned by going to Mumbai and then came here and started it.
When the Local 18 team tried to know about this potion of love, we met an elderly man named Amanullah Sahab. He told that Nawab Qureshi had come to Delhi for the first time with Sharbat-e-Mohabbat. Many customers who came to the shop to drink sherbet told that it was Nawab who had come to Delhi with this sherbet for the first time.

Nawab told that to make this sherbet, first of all watermelon is cut into small pieces. These pieces are put in milk, in which sugar syrup and Rooh Afza are then added, mixed with ice and served to your customers. Talking about its price, you will get it for Rs 50 per glass.

Nawab’s style of giving Sharbat-e-Mohabbat by saying ‘Tapa-Tap’ made him viral on social media. Even today he makes people drink sherbet with his own hands in the same manner. Explaining the meaning of his Tapa-Tap dialogue, Nawaz said that eating food in Bengal is called Tapa-Tap. That’s why he makes his customers drink sherbet by saying this. The reason for serving sherbet in this style is that he is very famous on social media.
