Half day Heritage Food Walk & Spice Market at Old Delhi - Premium Tour
The 7th city of Delhi is like a maze, but the catch is you will always find something delicious to eat in these lanes. Recipes handed down over the years will attract you with their aroma and make you impatient to try these snacks. Experience the gastronomy of Old Delhi with your fellow mates. Just one bite, and you will get addicted. When the day ends, the craving is so intense that you might have withdrawal effects, just kidding! Start with ‘chaats’ that will make you lick your fingers if you decide to eat with your hand; hence we recommend a spoon (awkward pause). The term ‘chaat’ literally translates to ‘to lick’, the action after a plate of paani poori, papdi chaat. KFC, you are four centuries late to the party! Chaat is just the beginning, but we will also experience desserts, beverages, parathas and many more. Along with food, learn about the rich history as you pass by the age-old structures overlooking the streets of Old Delhi.
