This four-hour food tour in New Delhi starts outside Gate 1 of La Quila metro station in Chandni Chowk. The first hour includes tastings of vadas soaked in yogurt and topped with pomegranate seeds, followed by sweet lassi served in a claypot and jalebi, a popular Indian sweet. The guide provides information about local life and the food scene in Old Delhi. The next two hours involve a visit to a large Sikh temple where the group tours the kitchen that prepares food for over 30,000 people daily. Participants can try making chapattis and see the large cooking pots used. After the temple visit, the tour continues on foot through the narrow streets of Chandni Chowk, navigating vendors, cows, and rickshaws. Tastings along this route include pani puris, pakoras, and stuffed parathas from a shop operating for nearly a century. In winter, a seasonal white mousse-like dessert topped with saffron and nuts may be available. The final hour includes a rickshaw ride to a small unmarked restaurant to try paneer masala curry and masala lime soda. The group then visits the spice market to learn about Indian herbs and spices. The last tastings are carrot halva and a Mughal vermicelli dish with a creamy nut topping. Before the tour ends, guests receive a paan, a betel leaf filled with dried fruits and syrups. Bottled water is provided throughout the tour. The guide shares knowledge about local food to help guests explore Delhi’s cuisine after the tour. The tour includes more than 15 different tastings, suitable for vegetarians, and involves moderate walking. Long-sleeved clothing covering shoulders and knees is required for the temple visit; fabrics can be rented if needed. Alcoholic drinks and hotel pick-up or drop-off are not included.
