About this experience
An immersive evening food walk through Old Delhi that begins at dusk and unfolds into a generous night-time feast. Walk historic lanes as grills ignite, lights glow, and the city reveals its most atmospheric side after dark.
This is a true walk-and-eat dinner experience — not a light tasting or snack tour.

• Dietary restrictions or allergies (including lactose, gluten, or nut allergies) are accommodated with suitable alternatives wherever possible - please inform us in advance.
Why Choose This Experience:
✔ Carefully curated for safety, hygiene, and authenticity.
✔ Zero tourist traps and zero shopping stops.
✔ Stories, context, and local insight — not just food.
✔ Learn how to navigate Old Delhi confidently, with practical local recommendations
