This was an excellent introduction to Indian street food. The guides were fun, knowledgeable, and kept our large group together during the tour. They tell you at the start to keep an open mind, which is helpful for those who are nervous to try new foods. I found everything we tried to be delicious, and there was plenty of food to go around. We never would’ve tried those foods in those locations on our own, so I’m glad we used a tour guide. Truly a lovely experience, 10/10 recommend.

I wasn't expecting that much food and how delicious it was. I am a big guy who loves to eat and by the end of the tour, I was stuffed. We had food at four different places and it was super tasty. If you want to get a taste of Mumbai, highly recommend it. Plus the guides were super friendly.

~14 different types of food tried in a walk plus cab plus train trip to different areas of the city. Highly knowledgeable guides and the company has a notable and clearly impactful charitable mission improving education in slums.

Great guide and food! Very knowledgeable about the cuisine and origins, and very generous proportions! Was absolutely stuffed by the end! Highly recommended!

Javed was a fantastic host. Great personality. Very kind and very knowledgeable. Lots of delicious food, even the vegetarian dishes!
