What you'll see and do
Pasar Chandni Chowk
The tour kicks off from outside Gate 1 of La Quila metro station in the heart of the city. Indulge in a bowl of soaked vadas covered in creamy yogurt and topped with pomegranate seeds, something you'll have never seen in any Indian takeaway back home. Your guide will explain local life and give you the lowdown on the foodie scene in Old Delhi. In quick succession, you'll grab a claypot of sweet frothy lasse, before working your way over the finest jalebi in North India.

Chandni Chowk Market
As you let your food settle, you'll dive into an enormous Sikh temple to take a tour of their 24-hour kitchen which feeds over 30,000 Delhites from all walks of life every single day. Try your hand at chapattis and stirring enormous pots big enough to feed an army. Now it's time to jump into the maze of Old Delhi. Your guide will take you on a walking tour around the narrow streets carefully negotiating passing cows, cycle rickshaws and tiny vendors where you'll stop to try titbits like pani puris, tasty pakoras and stuffed parathas from a little place that's been churning them out for almost a century. If you travel in winter, you may even be able to have a taste of a Delhi specialty - a white mousse-like dish covered in saffron and nuts that's often described as being as fluffy as a cloud.
120 minutes here
Old Delhi Rickshaw Ride
Your guide will lead you to a secret little restaurant that's got no sign outside, to try one of the best paneer masala curries in the city, before washing it down with a masala lime soda nearby. Continue weaving through the winding back alleys until you hit the fragrant spice market. After a walk and talk about the spices and herbs used in Indian cuisine, it's on to the final leg where you'll try several deserts including a carrot halva and a traditionally Mughal dish made from vermicelli noodles topped with a creamy nutty layer. As you head back, your guide will have a paan made for you - a betel leaf filled with dried fruits, syrups and other good things. An adventurous end to your foodie adventure in Delhi. Meet new-found friends and enjoy local hospitality, as we end the tour with a full-bellied rickshaw ride. You'll be armed with the street food knowledge to continue eating your way through India.

The tastiest tour of Old Delhi
Highly recommended. I ate my way around Old Delhi and had a fantastic time in the process. Guide Ranveer was calm, generous and knowledgable. You get to see (and eat) a little bit of everything on this tour, from a Sikh temple kitchen that feeds thousands to a spice market that fills the air with fragrance. It's all vegetarian food too, and all delicious.

Recommended for foodies
Ranveer was very patient and eager to show me around old Delhi and the foods we would try. He explained well where we were at and how long the place has been there. Not just food but India in general he has good knowledge. From start to finish it was always a surprise being in Old Delhi.

A day well spent!!
We had such a fantastic food tour of Chandni Chowk with Gajendra! He was incredibly friendly, warm and welcoming, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We got to try such a huge variety of delicious foods, from sweet treats to spicy and savoury. Gajendra was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information about Chandni Chowk, Delhi, and the history of the region. We loved wandering through the spice market but possibly the best part was rolling roti with the local women at the Sikh temple. We absolutely loved our experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Excellent tour
I really enjoy this tour. I wouldn’t have been able to navigate Old Delhi by my own and identify delicious food famous among the locals. Gajendra is a super knowledgeable guide.

Delicious Delhi food walking tour
Booked this to give me the confidence to try some tasty street food delights in Delhi, and it really delivered! Our guide, Gajendra, was great and very knowledgeable, answering all our questions and herding us through the busy street. There was plenty of food to taste and always more for those with big appetites, water was provided throughout the 4 hours, everything was included. Highly recommend doing this at the start of your Delhi stay.

Chandni Chowk Delhi Food Tour with 15+ Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.
How much does Chandni Chowk Delhi Food Tour with 15+ Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Delhi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chandni Chowk Delhi Food Tour with 15+ Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Delhi is not rushed.
Is Chandni Chowk Delhi Food Tour with 15+ Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 328 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Delhi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chandni Chowk Delhi Food Tour with 15+ Tastings?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chandni Chowk Delhi Food Tour with 15+ Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chandni Chowk Delhi Food Tour with 15+ Tastings?
+
Around 115 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Delhi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Delhi and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chandni Chowk Delhi Food Tour with 15+ Tastings start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Delhi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Delhi?
+
On Outty we rank every New Delhi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Taj Mahal & Agra Fort Private Day Trip From Delhi with 5* Lunch, 5 Nights 6 Days Private Golden Triangle Tour - Delhi Agra Jaipur, Old & New Delhi Private City Tour – Traveler’s Choice (Top Rated). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Delhi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Delhi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
