Having been on this tour with Prashant and his lovely wife Ayesha...not only did I discover some new places (Salims for kebabs...Sweet Corner for its Kulfi) but the whole experience did leave me very very...

“Our highlight in Delhi”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2012 NEW

Prashant and Ayesha run a very enjoyable, affordable, personalised food tour and it was our highlight in Delhi. You'll have the opportunity to try new foods (even for regular consumers of Indian cuisine) and learn a bit about what you're eating and how to eat it. It's seeing the real India without the threat of getting sick. The tour is... More

So here is one hell of an experience which no Delhiite should miss! We got the BEST versions of our favourite dishes thanks to Ayesha and Prashant's knowledge of the foods available in Delhi. We requested them to take us for an all-out non-vegetarian adventure full of kebabs, biryanis and of course, butter chicken in Delhi. That's exactly what we... More

“Delicious and Fun”

We just completed the tour last evening. It began with a tea tasting (wonderful) and moved on to several excellent restaurants, from South to North cuisine. Desserts were delightful. Ayesha and Prashant were fun and professional. My daughter (10 years old) woke up talking about how great the food was on our dinner tour. Prices are reasonable and the places... More
