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 though. You’ll dive into a Sikh temple and kitchen to discover how they feed 30,000 Delhiites every single day and climb up to a secret rooftop spot above the old spice market to take in the views just as the sun drops to the right angle for photographic perfection.

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.
