Old Delhi Street Food Tour
Description
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. **Please note that the Spice Market has a lot less activity on Sundays. For the 1.00pm tour, there is about 50% less activity and for the 5.00pm tour, it is closed.

Very enjoyable day with an excellent tour guide, Tarun, and delicious food. We would have no idea where to go and what places to trust, but the tour took us to some amazing places which we never would have known about. Highly recommended tour where 80% if the cost goes back into the community.
