Old Delhi Street Food Tour – Taste 14+ Authentic Delhi Foods

Discover the flavors of Old Delhi on a 3-hour Old Delhi Street Food Tour designed for travelers who want to experience authentic Indian food while exploring the historic lanes of the city. Join our group food walk through the vibrant streets around Jama Masjid, Chawri Bazar, Chandni Chowk, Kinari Bazar and Khari Baoli.

You will taste approximately 14 different Delhi street food dishes and snacks, from crispy samosas and spicy chaat to traditional Old Delhi sweets, refreshing drinks and famous Mughlai flavors.

Our food tour is designed with foreign visitors in mind. We select food stops based on cleanliness, food-handling practices, popularity and consistency, while avoiding unnecessarily risky street-food stalls. Food choices can also be adjusted where possible for vegetarian preferences or common dietary restrictions.

Depending on the day and availability, your Old Delhi food walk may include around 14 tastings such as:

• Aloo Tikki Chaat – crispy potato patties topped with chutneys, yogurt and spices
• Papdi Chaat – crunchy papdi with yogurt, chutneys and traditional chaat masala
• Samosa – India’s famous crispy pastry filled with spiced potatoes and peas

• Mughlai-style kebab – a taste of Old Delhi’s famous Mughlai food tradition
• Seasonal Indian snack – selected according to the day’s best available option

The exact dishes may vary because we want to serve fresh food from reliable outlets rather than include a particular dish simply for the sake of the itinerary.

Explore the Food Streets of Old Delhi

This is more than a food tasting tour. As you walk between the food stops, your local guide will introduce you to the history, culture and everyday life of Old Delhi.

Jama Masjid

Begin near the magnificent Jama Masjid, one of Old Delhi’s most famous landmarks. The surrounding streets are packed with traditional food shops, bakeries, kebab restaurants and local snack vendors.

Chawri Bazar

Continue through the busy lanes of Chawri Bazar, where historic buildings, traditional shops and local food stalls create one of Old Delhi’s most colorful streetscapes.

Chandni Chowk

Walk through the heart of Chandni Chowk, one of Delhi’s best-known markets. Here you can discover famous parathas, chaat, sweets, drinks and other traditional North Indian specialties.

Kinari Bazar

Explore the narrow lanes of Kinari Bazar, famous for its colorful wedding decorations, fabrics, accessories and traditional market atmosphere. Along the surrounding lanes, you can also find plenty of local snacks and sweets.

Khari Baoli & Spice Market

Finish or pass through the Khari Baoli spice market, one of the most fascinating parts of Old Delhi. The area is famous for its enormous selection of spices, herbs, dry fruits and nuts. Your guide can explain how these ingredients are used in Indian cooking while you experience the sights and aromas of the market.

More Than Just Street Food

Along the route, we may include additional food experiences around Jama Masjid, Chawri Bazar and Chandni Chowk, depending on the day’s food quality and availability.

Possible tastings can include traditional Mughlai snacks, stuffed parathas, Delhi-style chaat, Indian sweets, kulfi, lassi, masala chai and seasonal specialties.

We don’t want to rush you from one food stall to another. The aim is to give you time to taste, ask questions, take photographs and understand how these foods are connected to Delhi’s history and culture.

Hygiene & Food Safety

We understand that street food can be a concern for international travelers. Therefore, we carefully choose our food stops and prioritize clean preparation areas, busy outlets with high turnover, freshly prepared food and established vendors.

However, this is still a street-food experience, so we cannot guarantee that conditions will be identical to a restaurant or hotel kitchen. Guests should inform us in advance about allergies, dietary restrictions or foods they need to avoid.
