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 paranthas 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!
