Review of Indian Food Tours in Delhi

"“It gives you a peak into ordinary Indians' lives” It took me long to write this review. I enjoyed this tour about a month and a half ago. One of the most impressive memories about this tour was I could be in the midst of the hustle-bustle of traditional Indian markets with all the crowd, but feel safe and enjoy all the unique and delicious Indian foods.Rajeev was such a pleasant guy and very passionate about letting more people know about Indian foods. His sense of humor and character made the tour more fun and enjoyable. His colleague, Jaidev also made sure that everybody was safe, and took photos of your enjoying foods without your knowing. We tried five or six different dishes with good explanation about the ingredients, how they were made, and what was special about each. At the end of the day, we had our final dinner on the hood of Raj's car -That was also so fun! It was such a shame that I could not eat that much because my stomach had already reached its limitation.My friend and I took the tour as one of our last legs in India. We both wished he had chosen that as our first activity in India. To be honest, as we approached the end of our trip, we were a bit tired of Indian spices and food and started to miss our regular foods. Therefore, one of my personal tips is to schedule this tour as one of your first activities in India and, if possible, book it on weekdays. We enjoyed it on a Sunday, and had to face terrible, terrible traffic jam and crowd - Rej said they were strangely much more terrible than other days, and usually there were not that much traffic and crowd, though. http://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowUserReviews-g304551-d3879008-r195733102-Indian_Food_Tours_in_Delhi-New_Delhi_National_Capital_Territory_of_Delhi.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT"

Review of India Food Tour - Private Tour

“The Golden Triangle - A Week Long WONDERFUL Food/Sightseeing Tour” Delhi was delightful, Agra amazing, and Jaipur wonderful.

Review of Indian Food Tours in Delhi

"“Memorable !” Out of all the things that we managed to do in India, which includes 5 sightseeing tours, 1 jungle safari, activities like boat rides, aurvedic detox and just lazing around, this food tour was the most enjoyable and exciting one. We had booked this tour a month in advance and did this day day we reached New Delhi. After pickup from hotel, we visited Connaught Place and had some really good milkshakes and pastries. Then we were taken to a hospital for birds !! I've seen a lot of veterinary clinics, but a temple which is also a hospital for birds was a completely new thing. After that, we walked in Chandani Chowk lanes and ate some delicious fried potatoes, a very sweet crunchy dish and drank some lassi to wash it down. Then it was time for a visit to another temple which serves free food to thousands of poor people every single day free of cost !! The temple was full of volunteers from all walks of society trying to do their bit to help the needy. Then we rode a rikshaw to the spice market which was very crowded. In the market we had to cover our noses with wet wipes because of so many spices and chillies. The variety of spices and dry fruits available there was bewildering. After spice market we rode rikshaw again to visit some more food joints and had the best traditional Indian ice creams,cookies, samosa, a different type of lassi and fried Indian breads called poori with spicy curry. In the meanwhile our guide Rajeev gave us detailed explanation about all the old mansions, shops and bazaars that we passed on our way.After covering Chandani chowk, we then got back in to our car beating all the pedestrians, rikshaw, scooters and cars in our way. After walking out of temple, we had a thing called gol gappa which is a hollow wheat ball filled with spiced water, potatoes, grams and sauce. Difficult to eat but delicious !! By this time, we were feeling pretty much full, even though we had only small portions to eat. So Rajeev drove us to India Gate monument for a short walk. After spending 15-20 minutes there, we drove to a food joint where we ate our meal on boot of the car. It was more like a feast rather than a meal with 4 different meat dishes including the famous the best ever butter chicken, breads of all shapes and sizes, kebabs, salads, chutney and daal. Our stomachs were feeling really full, but mind wasn't. I wished I could eat more, even though I was stuffed up to my throat. We ended the tour at that point and were driven to our hotel to end this really marvellous day. The food was excellent and unlike all the Indian food that we've had anywhere else, The overall tour experience was also very good with a great guide, really offbeat and hard to find places and convenience of an air-conditioned car for pickup and drop. For the price, it was the best thing we did in India. http://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowUserReviews-g304551-d3879008-r202199042-Indian_Food_Tours_in_Delhi-New_Delhi_National_Capital_Territory_of_Delhi.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT"

Review of Indian Food Tours in Delhi

“Great introduction to Delhi, a real fun day out!” What a great introduction to Delhi, a really enjoyable day! We only booked this tour just before leaving the UK and confirmed arrangements en route. Jaidev was so prompt replying, at what was a very unsociable time and was really helpful. As we were arriving at 4am in Delhi we wanted a morning start but with hindsight we would have been fine starting at 3pm. Food tasting is combined with food related touring and you get a real feel for the city. We were joined by 2 other lovely couples which was nice and everyone gelled.We got to try lots of street food which we would not have braved on our own (we do eat street food in Thailand & Vietnam but it feels more of a risk in India). There was also a nice mix of walking and travelling between sites.We tried lots of fried Indian snacks with dips and a top lassi, fruit sandwiches, lovely Indian ice creams, great cold coffee served in a milk bottle with a savoury snack. The last stop was several curry dishes & breads.Loved the visit to the Sikh food kitchen Jama Masjidy by Connaught Place, this produces food for people who are starving in Delhi and is run by volunteers. We also visited the temple there which felt so serene.We have been on amazing food tours and this one was well up there for service & fun.http://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowUserReviews-g304551-d3879008-r200725653-Indian_Food_Tours_in_Delhi-New_Delhi_National_Capital_Territory_of_Delhi.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT

Review of Indian Food Tours in Delhi

"“Much better than we expected” Among all the things we did and saw during our vacation in India, this tour has a special place not only due to the quality of service but also the overall experience. We had read the reviews and expected the tour to be good. But it was much better than we ever expected. As I sad before, quality of service, starting from ease of booking to pickup from our hotel to actual tour and food was excellent. The food itself was much much better than we ever had anywhere and from really old historical food joints. The oldest food place was in business for 120 years !! Then there was the sightseeing part in older and crowded part of Delhi, visit to the bird hospital, time spent with pottery artisans and delicious food at every stop. All these experience, sights, smells and flavours were mind blowingly good. We could not have discovered even a fraction of this if we were on our own.. It was a completely different experience from all the guided tours that I've taken till now and probably the best too. If you have even one day in Delhi, do this tour. You'll not regert it. http://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowUserReviews-g304551-d3879008-r198300502-Indian_Food_Tours_in_Delhi-New_Delhi_National_Capital_Territory_of_Delhi.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT"
