Delicious in every respect - We loved this street food tour with Pooja. After a short visit to a very small temple where we cleansed ourselves of negative kharma, we began a trek that included stops at about six or eight street vendors. The food at every stop was fresh and delicious and contained combinations of flavors foreign to our Western palates. We found Pooja to be patient and extremely knowledgeable about Indian cuisine and her hometown, Mumbai. When I expressed concern about consuming something upsetting to my digestive system, she assured us she and her colleagues vetted over 30 vendors before settling on those included in the tour and no one had gotten sick from a tour. We made note of the location of some of the vendors and plan to go back on our own. I enthusiastically recommend this tour.

Great Dive into Mumbai Street Food with The Best Guide - Easy to find meet up location at Ideal Corner Restaurant. Pooja was my guide and she was fantastic. Explained each dish, what it was and how it was eaten in everyday Mumbai. When it would be eaten and how it fitted into everyday life. Also the history of the place we were getting the food from, many of which had been owned and operated by the same family for several generations. I highly rated Pooja as a guide and would recommend her to anyone. The food was all delicious. I cannot think of a single thing I ate that I did not enjoy. How to eat a proper Kerala meal and the use of fennel and sugar as an after meal breath freshener were some of the solid tips I learned on the way. This tour is a fantastic way to get out onto the streets of Mumbai and eat like a local. You will not regret it. Make sure to request Pooja as your guide!

Mumbai Street Food Tour (don't book if you have any mobility issues) - The food selection was varied, unique and tasty. My only complaint and why I have given the tour a 4 star review is our guide did not wait for the majority of slower guests. We even lost her once after descending multiple stairs from the train station. It would be helpful if in the tour a description the amount of stairs and walking were described. Mumbai is hot and muggy and if individuals have any health or mobility issues this is not a tour for them.
