Sample Menu

• Kulfi - Kulfi is a deliciously sweet and flavorful Indian frozen treat that is frequently flavoured with cardamom, saffron, or pistachios.
• Kulle Ki Chaat - The dish typically involves hollowing out various fruits or vegetables and filling them with a mixture of spicy and tangy ingredients.
• Samosa & Jalebi - A triangle-shaped pastry stuffed with potatoes is called a samosa. The delicious, spiral-shaped jalebi snack is fried and served with sugar syrup.
• Aaloo Chaat - A popular Indian street meal known as "aloo chaat" is prepared from cubed, boiling potatoes, spiced with different spices and lemon juice.
• Paranthey - Paranthe Wali Gali is not just a culinary destination but also a cultural and historical one, offering a glimpse into the rich culinary heritage.
• Daulat ki Chaat - Daulat Ki Chaat is a seasonal delicacy that is more widely available in the winter since the chilly temperature makes it easier to gather dew.
• Lassi (Yogurt) - Made with yogurt, sugar, and sometimes flavored with fruits like mango or rose water.
• Chole Bhature - Chole Bhature is a hearty and satisfying dish that's often enjoyed as a special breakfast or brunch item.
• Aaloo tikki - Aloo Tikki is a well-known Indian street meal and snack made with seasoned, mashed potato patties that are then deep-fried or shallow-fried.

I spent a wonderful afternoon with my guide Neha exploring the markets in old Dehli. It would have been daunting to navigate the hustle and bustle of the markets on my own. Neha provided background history of the area and answered questions about food and customs. We walked and used rickshaws and the “street” foods were delicious! I highly recommend this tour.

Half day private tour old Delhi with driver, Shehzad & guide, Riyaz. We were picked up at our hotel at 1pm to 5 pm. We were taken to old Delhi by car & then we were transferred to tuk tuk cycle which made the trip interesting & fascinating to go through narrow alleyway, roads with million pedestrians, vehicles crisscrossing in different directions & stray cows & dogs roaming around. Spice market was particularly interesting. We couldn’t have done it without Riyaz guiding us through beggars, hawkers, scammers, etc. Believe me, it’s well worth having a driver & a guide to make your travel hassle free & without headaches & other worries.

Got off on the wrong foot as first visit of the afternoon was to a Mosque which had dress code rules (which we weren't prepared for) which then incurred additional costs, but after that we thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the afternoon. The food was completely vegetarian, which as a meat eater may have put me off in many other places, but it certainly didn't disappoint on this tour and was extremely tasty. The tour was in an exceedingly busy part of Old Delhi which was jam packed with people and various modes of transport but was well worth the experience. Isha was a great tour guide and provided lots of historical information along the way to add to the experience. Our party of 3 were slightly concerned about taking this tour as we don't exactly have the strongest of food stomach's, but we can gladly report that there was no Delhi Belly's the next day.

Isha was very knowledgeable and flexible. We got to experience so many different things in one afternoon. We were a group of five and she kept us together and was able to provide answers and insights.
