Mumbai food tour

Designed and carefully curated by a Mumbai chef, this 15+ food tasting tour will see you mopping up everything from local chaat snacks to buttery aubergine curry and slow-cooked mutton kheema.

Kicking off from the grand colonial heart of Bombay, you'll wind your way through three distinct districts, both by foot and by train, getting a true flavour of Mumbai's culinary heritage.

Skip breakfast, because you're not going to want to pass on the crispy masala papads, the buttery masala-spiked Bombay sandwich, the banana-leaf thali or the creamy kulfi among much more.

Hungry? We thought you might be. Join our small-group Mumbai food tour limited to just 8 exclusive guests or contact us to arrange a private food experience.

Why this tour is awesome

It’s more than just a Mumbai food tour. It's a 4-hour story through Mumbai's culinary history from colonial Bombay to the city's Persian community. You'll hear tales of Mumbai's dabbawallas, the men that deliver 200,000 of mamas' home-cooked lunches every day, learn why the famous Bombay sandwich tastes infinitely better toasted over charcoal and slurp on afternoon tea in one of the last remaining Parsi cafes.

Your guide

Shantanu knows the food scene in Mumbai better than most. This seasoned guide has worked with a Bombay chef to create an experience that truly takes you to the heart o the city's cuisine. He'll take you across three different districts in the city proudly showing you the history and eating culture on his Mumbai food tour.
