If that’s too saccharine for your palate, we’ll then proceed to a historic Parantha shop that’s been serving up flaky deliciousness for 147 years. Engage yourself in a beautiful tradition at a Gurdwara, where all ages unite in the kitchens to prepare meals with a shared purpose of nourishing others. Our exploration wouldn’t be complete without honoring the role of spices, so a visit to their vibrant market is in order, where we’ll delve into the essence of spices and their aromatic influences. A truly sensory encounter! As with any feast, we’ll conclude at a family-run shop now in its third generation, renowned for the BEST MASALA TEA/Chai.

Old Delhi charm - Anandam was a great tour guide. His knowledge of the Old city kept us interested all the time. We went thru sma(l alleys, roof tops, temples, spice markets, small neighborhood restaurant that allowed us to enjoy Old Delhi's charm. He even took care of me until the Uber arrived and kept in touch with me until I arrived at my destination.
