    Lovely food tour in the heart of London

    We had a lovely evening hosted by Riki. We tried many different dishes (daals, different types of Naans including a sweet one with coconut, chicken tikka, ....) from different regions of India. We visited a a shop where he explained us the different kind of lentils and flours. And we also passed by an other shop selling indian sweets. The host used to work as a cook in 5-star hotels and was very knowledgeable. He even recommended me different sources to learn more about cooking indian cuisine myself! All in all it was a really great experience and perfect as a gift to someone that loves cooking and most importantly eating. Thanks Riki!

    Response from the operator: It was a pleasure to host you. Your review is a reminder that even a few hours can leave a lasting impression when they're spent well. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again!

    Highly recommended Indian Street Food Tour

    We had a brilliant Indian Street Food Tour to celebrate a friends birthday. The food and experience was fantastic. Our guide Rikki was so friendly, knowledgeable and great fun. He took to shops and restaurants with 5 star for hygiene and provided us with a follow up email with full details of the places we visited and the food we were eating. Such a bonus as a lot to take in at the time. Great introduction to Brick Land area of London. Highly recommend and thank you Rikki for being such a great guide🙏 Ps top tip don’t eat before going on the tour as lots of delicious food! K

    Response from the operator: We appreciate you taking the time to write about your visit. It's great to hear that you enjoyed getting to know the city through its food scene. Thank you again for choosing Secret Food Tours!

    Spectacular food with a knowledgeable guide

    The food was spectacular and Jez is a knowledgeable guide. We didn’t realize that we would actually get to sit and eat at four different restaurants and try ten different dishes, plus our choice of dessert from a sweet shop. We enjoyed two lamb dishes, two chicken dishes and variety of vegetarian dishes. We learned about the spices and had a chance to shop in an Asian grocery store. Jez shared the history of the neighborhood and personal stories of travel and eating. It was a delightful afternoon of eating and conversation.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Knowing you enjoyed how the day came together is exactly what we hope for. We’d love to see you again on Secret Food Tours!

    Indian food tour with Jai

    Jai was incredible! I learned so much from him about Indian food, Indian culture as well as some great facts about London. Each spot Jai took my family and I to, we we're blown away. I had no clue London had such incredible Indian food and was super impressed by the array of choices that Jai presented us with. He is incredibly engaging and super easy to hang out with and eat Indian food with. Thanks Jai!

    Response from the operator: Thanks for leaving your review! It’s good to know the experience offered a clear mix of food and local background. We’d be happy to see you again at another Secret Food Tours.

    East London Indian Private Food Tour with 8+ Food Tastings: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does East London Indian Private Food Tour with 8+ Food Tastings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does East London Indian Private Food Tour with 8+ Food Tastings take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 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 London is not rushed.

    Is East London Indian Private Food Tour with 8+ Food Tastings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 93 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule East London Indian Private Food Tour with 8+ Food 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 East London Indian Private Food Tour with 8+ Food Tastings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book East London Indian Private Food Tour with 8+ Food Tastings?

    +

    Around 33 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 London 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 London and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does East London Indian Private Food Tour with 8+ Food 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 London 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 London?

    +

    London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. 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 London?

    +

    May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. 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 London?

    +

    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.
