Excursion Overview
This great Delhi street food experience has been designed to reveal the sophisticated and complex street food culture of Old Delhi that has developed through its layered history. The late afternoon tour by rickshaw is led by a noted food enthusiast, who will take you to well known and traditional food stalls that pepper the landscape in this part of the capital. At each stop your guide will help unravel the history, traditions, and culture behind the "house specialties" and you will get to sample some of the wonderful delicacies . You'll be able to enjoy aloo chaat (crisp fried potatoes) with a range of chutneys as well as varieties of stuffed parathas including potato, onion, cottage cheese, cauliflower, dry fruits and even khoya. Meat eaters can also try kebabs, fried chicken and succulent butter chicken, all of which are best with Roomali Roti and Biryani. Finally, try creamy phirni or a fruit flavoured Kulfi if you have space for something sweet. Be prepared to eat with your hands and be among crowds of people, in the narrow lanes of Old Delhi. This is a wonderful chance not only to experience some true culinary delights but also to go behind the scenes and meet some of the chefs, bakers, and families who have been providing fabulous food here for generations. The tour can take between three and five hours; it is totally up to you!

First time clients of Holiday Architects and what a memorable trip they planned and delivered for us. Lisa and Clare put together 5 weeks of criss-crossing Sri Lanka and Rajasthan in India, whilst their excellent partners on the ground made sure we had the best experience possible. What made it so special were the quirky places we stayed, the unique experiences scheduled just for us and above all the generosity of our drivers and the many guides willing to share their personal insights on local customs and culture. It goes without saying we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holiday Architects if you are planning that special trip and thank you Lisa and Clare, we loved it all!

We recently booked a holiday to India; we were helped all the way by Clare, who put together a wonderful itinerary for us. Whilst in India, we were really well supported by the local team. Our driver was fabulous and really looked after us. India is a truly amazing country with so much rich history, culture, wildlife and scenery. Above this, the people we met were friendly, interesting and interested, and a joy to meet. Thank you for a truly memorable trip.
