Itinerary

[Pasar Chandni Chowk] 1 hour • Admission Ticket Free

The tour begins outside Gate 1 of La Quila metro station, in the heart of the city. Indulge in a bowl of soaking vadas wrapped in creamy yogurt and garnished with pomegranate seeds, a unique Indian takeaway dish. Your guide will discuss local life and the food scene in Old Delhi. Start with a claypot of frothy lassi and then indulge in the best jalebi in North India.

[Chandni Chowk Market] 2 hours • Admission Ticket Free

After your meal, visit a large Sikh temple for a tour of their 24-hour kitchen, which serves over 30,000 Delhi residents daily. Try your hand at making chapattis and stirring massive pots big enough to feed an army. Now it's time to explore the maze of Old Delhi. Your guide will lead you on a walking tour through the narrow alleyways, navigating past cows, cycle rickshaws, and sellers. You'll stop to sample pani puris, pakoras, and stuffed parathas from a century-old establishment. If you come in winter, you may be able to try a Delhi delicacy - a white mousse-like dessert covered in saffron and almonds, described as fluffy as a cloud.

[Old Delhi Rickshaw Ride] 1 hour • Admission Ticket Free

Your guide will take you to a secret tiny restaurant with no sign outside to try one of the best paneer masala curries in the city, followed by a masala lime soda. Continue to weave through the winding back alleys until you reach the fragrant spice market. After a walk and discussion on the spices and herbs used in Indian cuisine, you'll move on to the last stage, where you'll sample numerous desserts, including carrot halva and a traditional Mughal dish made from vermicelli noodles topped with a creamy nut layer. As you return, your guide will prepare a paan for you, a betel leaf loaded with dried fruits, syrups, and other delicious treats. An exciting conclusion to your gourmet adventure in Delhi. Meet new acquaintances and experience local hospitality as we conclude the tour with a full-bellied rickshaw ride. You'll be equipped with street food knowledge to continue eating your way around India.
