Food in Old Delhi is inseparable from the neighbourhood around it.
Its streets have been shaped by generations of communities, traders, cooks and family businesses. On this tour, a local guide takes you through the old city while introducing you to flavours and places you might find difficult to discover on your own.
You will get to taste iconic street food like chaat, chole bhature, and an array of Indian sweets from renowned local vendors. Along with savoring the best of Indian street food, you’ll walk through bustling markets, discovering hidden culinary gems only locals know.
Alongside these food hotspots, visit spiritual landmarks, learning about India’s rich religious diversity and history. This food tour offers an authentic experience filled with culture, history, and, of course, delicious flavors. It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in Old Delhi’s vibrant street life while sampling the city’s most famous dishes.
This isn’t simply a meal spread across several stops. It’s a way of experiencing Old Delhi through what it eats.
