Old Delhi is famous for its centuries-old culinary traditions, but its maze-like streets can be overwhelming to explore without local knowledge. Join me for a generous food experience through the heart of Old Delhi, where food becomes a gateway to the city's culture, history, stories, and everyday life. This is more than a food tour - it's a safari of the senses. Every food stop has been personally researched and carefully vetted by me. In a city with thousands of vendors, I have selected places known for their authenticity, quality, and hygiene, so you can enjoy Old Delhi's most beloved flavours with confidence. There are no tourist traps, no shopping stops, and no commission driven detours. Your time is spent experiencing Old Delhi - not being sold to. Along the way, you will gain local insights, recommendations, and a deeper understanding of Old Delhi. Small group experience. Dietary requirements and allergies can be accommodated with advance notice.

    A great way to spend the evening !

    I definitely recommend the ‘Old Delhi Food Tour’ with Faizy. As a solo female traveller I hadn’t ventured out into Delhi during the evening & this tour provided the perfect opportunity to combine this with food. Our guide Faizy was knowledgeable, articulate and very aware of the varying requirements of his guests; ensuring his solo arrivals were safe/comfortable & considering any dietary/allergy requirements. We were taken deep into areas of Old Delhi you wouldn’t look at, never mind venture into alone, which made it seem like a real adventure. All the food was tasty and not necessarily something you’d order yourself - as with other reviewers, I too waited until the next day before posting, to make sure there have been no ‘adverse effects’ to eating street food and I’ve been completely fine. Book it and have a great evening 🙂

    Nice tour, good guide; sampled food in the town at night.

    Our tour was delayed by one hour, and I had a difficult time figuring out the meeting location. I texted and called the guide quite a few times to understand. Once on the tour, it was good; we got to see Delhi at night, hear some cultural stories, learn about India firsthand, and stop at a few places to try food safely.. all was good .too a

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback, Timothy. We are glad you enjoyed exploring Delhi at night, the cultural stories and the food. I would, however, like to clarify the comment regarding the tour being delayed by an hour. Around eight hours before the tour, we contacted you to check the possibility of starting at 5:30 PM instead of 4:30 PM, as the weather was expected to be more pleasant later in the evening. You happily agreed to the change. It was therefore not a delay on the day of the tour. All guests were provided with the same detailed meeting instructions, including the full address, Google Maps location and a photograph of the meeting point. The other guests arrived at the agreed time and were waiting at the meeting point. You had gone to a different location and, when we spoke, were having difficulty in using google maps and navigating to the meeting point, so I personally assisted you in finding us. Once you arrived, we were happy to continue with the tour and make sure you were comfortable. At the end of the evening, I also waited with you until your Uber arrived. I appreciate your feedback and pleased that, once the tour began, you enjoyed experiencing Delhi at night, hearing its stories and sampling its food.

    Delicious

    We had a really great experience with Faizy, and we would definitely recommend him. He was great at sharing local history and information about the food. We felt safe while taking the tuk-tuk and walking through the crowds. We have definitely discovered the local delicacies. We chose Faizy because he ensures the food is prepared under hygienic conditions - as of this writing, we have not had any stomach problems :-)

    Best Food Tour in India

    This has been our best food tour in India. Our guide Faizy, was very knowledgeable and provided great information about why we were eating eat course. The food got better and better as the tour went on. We would definitely recommend any food tour with Faizy and were disappointed that we did not have time to do his street art tour. We will certainly be recommending our friends to undertake this tour when in India. We would never have found the street food without our guide. We also loved the cultural insights provided during the tour.

    Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories cost?

    +

    Prices start at ₹3,700 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 Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories 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 New Delhi is not rushed.

    Is Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories 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 138 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 Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories?

    +

    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 Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories 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 Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories?

    +

    Around 48 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories 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.

    What is included in Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories?

    +

    Included: All Food Tastings; Chai Tea; Tuk Tuk Ride; Storyteller Tour Guide; and Hand Sanitizer. Not included: Water; Gratuities; and Anything not mentioned in the inclusions section. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Old Delhi Night Food Tour - Kitchens & Local Stories if the weather is bad?
