Delhi food tour
Over 4 hours you’ll navigate Old Town’s maze hitting up its tastiest spots with your foodie expert. Mop up creamy paneer tikka masala with freshly fired chapattis, pop bursting pani puris, nibble on chilli pakoras, and lick your lips after the best jalebi in India. That’s just for starters. There’s more food on this tour than you can shake your taste buds at.
It’s not all eat, eat, eat, repeat though. You’ll dive into an enormous Sikh temple to take a tour of their 24-hour kitchen which feeds over 30,000 Delhites from all walks of life every single day. Try your hand at chapattis and stirring enormous pots big enough to feed an army.
It's time to jump into the maze of Old Delhi. Your guide will take you on a walking tour around the narrow streets carefully negotiating passing cows, and tiny vendors where you'll stop stuffed parathas from a little place that's been churning them out for almost a century.
Your guide will lead you to a secret little restaurant with no sign outside, before contining to weave through the winding back alleys until you hit the fragrant spice market. After a walk and talk about the spices and herbs used in Indian cuisine, it's on to the final leg where you'll try several deserts including a traditionally Mughal dish made from vermicelli noodles topped with a creamy nutty layer.
As you head back, your guide will have a paan made for you - a betel leaf filled with dried fruits, syrups and other good things. An adventurous end to your foodie adventure in Delhi. Not before a full-bellied cycle rickshaw ride to the start point, and mission accomplished to Northern India's delicious bites.

Why this tour is awesome
Let’s face it. For a first-timer, Delhi’s a culture shock. Don’t know your aloo tikkas from your dahi bhallas? Feeling out of your culinary comfort zone? Don't know where to eat? Fear not. We’ve got just the ticket with our Delhi food tour.
Our expert local guide will take you on a small-group foodie adventure around the backstreets of Old Delhi to try some of the best eats around. There's no better introduction to the food scene of Delhi.
Your guide
Calm, patient, and ridiculously knowledgeable about Indian cuisine, Gajendra is the man to know when you’re delving into Delhi’s food scene. He knows ever bylane, back alley and best places to eat in the Old Town. If you join him on his Delhi food tour, you’ll leave with a much deeper understanding of life in the capital.
