What people say, in short
Many people recommend visiting Jama Masjid, and one who went found it stunning in person. A few highlight the view from the minaret, which one says gives a sweeping look over the old city and beyond, and several point to the non-veg food in the surrounding lanes. It is usually crowded, especially in the evening, and a couple of commenters find the surrounding area dirty. Commenters advise modest clothing.
