Best Food Tour in Delhi

Shelly_R, Feb 2024

Highly recommend this food tour, exploring and tasting the street foods of Old Delhi. We tried a lot of different foods. It was all delicious and we were very full by the end.

Response from Host, May 2024

Namaste and thanks a lot for writing this review. Your kind words and feedback are hugely appreciated.

Fantastic Experience

Austin_L, Dec 2023

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Chef Adi. He was very knowledgeable about the way that the various spices/flavors work together, and we learned so much about the food of Old Delhi. Both my wife (who is an amazing cook) and I (who can't cook to save my life) had a wonderful time, and we both agree that we hope all future food tours we take are similar to this one. 10/10, would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, May 2024

Namaste and thanks a lot for writing this detailed review. We look forward to hosting you again soon.

A foodie must do

robyn_m, Nov 2023

We did this tour on our last day in India and wish we had done it earlier because we learnt so much about Indian food and how to eat it . We had a knowledgeable chef with us that made all the difference. He guided us through the streets giving us history as we went from stop to stop. The variety of what we ate was amazing. Highly recommend . A must for food lovers

Response from Host, Nov 2023

One of our favourite tours in India

Zozela_K, Jan 2023

Honestly, one of the best tours we did in India and we didn't get sick. We did the private tour with a chef, he took us to all the hidden gems and we felt safe all the time. The guide was really flexible and he took us and left us from a road where we could take Uber. We only felt that the tour was too short (around 2h for us), we would have loved to see more.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Namaste and thanks a lot for writing this review. Your kind words are very much appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again very soon. Regards

Foodie lovers and globe trotters...

KerriAnn_S, Feb 2018

Foodie lovers and globe trotters (or both) must do this tour! Walking through Old Delhi to visit specially picked vendors to get a range of unbelievable flavors! Shikha, our guide, did a great job explaining the food and how it affects our tastebuds. There's an art to it! This is a definite must do!

Rod K, May 2017

Our Old Delhi food tour truly was one of the highlights of our recent trip to Delhi. The variety of foods and the food-related discussions really helped us understand and appreciate the complex cuisine and cultural history of Old Delhi. We strongly recommend that visitors to Delhi take the opportunity to experience this unique and wonderful food tour.

Guy J, Apr 2017

This was a really good tour, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We got to see places we wouldn't have gone to on our own and ate food at places we wouldn't have tried either. The Jain fruit sandwich was surprisingly good, but then all the food was. Our guide had a plentiful supply of antibacterial gel and wipes, which he offered us at each establishment. Overall, well worth the money and a great way to see Old Delhi.

Peter W, Apr 2017

I love food tours. You get to walk around a brand new city and eat the street food with an expert leading the way.

Tammy W, Mar 2017

The tour guide Raj was excellent! Very knowledgeable on food, and I was so full I could not complete a single meal! Raj provided advise on restaurants to eat at and even some tips for coking when we returned home, as he is a chef not jusot a guide. Highly recommend.

Andrew W, Mar 2017

The food tour of old Delhi was a high light of our recent trip to India. My wife and I highly recommend the 4-hour Old Delhi Food Tour. We got to sample a large number of Indian foods, street food, and snacks that we'd never attempted on our own. Everything was delicious. We were lucky to have a chef as one of our tour guides and his insight into tasting Indian food made the rest of our stay in India much more enjoyable. In addition to the food, wandering the streets of old Delhi with a helpful and knowledgeable guide was a great bonus. Rest assured, the tour comes with lots of sensitivity to concerns abut hygiene backed up with ample amounts of hand sanitize. Do yourself a favor: Take the tour and treat yourself to a wonderful experience.

Sam V, Jan 2017

Street food in Old Delhi? Insanity. Actually not. Fantastic walk. Great guide. Amazing food from places that you would never dare try on your own without some local knowledge. Bring a water bottle and some study shoes and you won't regret it.

Stefano M, Jul 2016

I was fortunate that it was a very small group, which meant our guide to be really flexible. Our guide Jaidev was friendly and helpful and made sure we had plenty of tastings, plus a visit to the spice market.
