Additional Information
Each region of India has its unique street food and Delhi is no exception. Visit our favorite vendors in Old Delhi and try the local specialties chole bature, dahi bhalla and aloo chat, as well as parathas, lassi and the very sweet but delicious jalebis and the local equivalent of rice pudding and bread and butter pudding.
All of these dishes are vegetarian but meat eaters will have the option to try Indian fried chicken in the buzzing Matia Mahal neighbourhood towards the end of the tour.
In addition to sampling the best of Old Delhi’s street food, we will also do some sightseeing as we explore the largest spice market in Asia, take a stroll along Chandni Chowk and stop to admire the imposing Jama Masjid. We will absorb the hustle and bustle of the narrow streets as we visit different locations by rickshaw.

Dinner in Delhi - Easy meeting location, Rajiv chowk Metro station. Very central.
Met ahead of time by Sam, who was friendly and had great knowledge of the local area and the history of Delhi.
We travelled via Metro and Rickshaw around multiple street food vendors and eateries.
All the food was delicious, some more than others, but all of it was tasty and fresh.
The company does thorough research, so the vendors who you eat from are hygienic and registered.
This way, it prevents any illnesses or issues.
They company is a great company which also help out local communities in addition to providing top-level tours and guides!
I would 100% recommend this tour if you want to eat authentic local dishes, and also travel Old Delhi safely whilst being informed of its history.
Well done!!

Great Street Food tour with Kavika! - Kavika took us on a wonderful food tour through Old Delhi by foot, metro and tuktuk. We sampled many items, both sweet and savory. All were tasty and went down well - no Delhi Belly from this tour! Throughout the tour Kavika entertained us with stories and explanations. We must have asked her a hundred questions and she answered every one! We would highly recommend this tour.

Best food tour - Having been on many food tours this was by far my favorite one. The kebab we ate at the end was possibly the best food I have had. My tour guide Tavraej was incredible. If you are in Dehli you have to do this!

Great introduction to old Delhi - We had a great time exploring old Delhi - it would definitely have been challenging to manage this alone, especially in the busiest parts of the city. Our guide was well prepared, knew all the traders and navigated our transport easily.

Naresh was the best! - Had the most wonderful time with our excellent and very knowledgable tour guide, Naresh. He took us all around the Chandni Chowk area, sampling amazing foods that we wouldn't have had the wherewithal to find on our own. All throughout the trip he shared interesting information and perspective on the dishes and their history. He made sure that all our bites were from reputable and clean establishments, so no worries about food safety here. Highly recommended!
