What to expect

  1. Churchgate
    30m
    This is like no other Mumbai food tour. This small-group culinary adventure takes you to the heart of the city's gastronomy.

    Treat your taste buds to 15+ tastings, as we experience three different districts. Your expert storytelling guide will bring the local food scene to life, whilst you discover the secrets of the city's flavours.

    Learn to eat like the locals with South Indian delicacies. Ride the iconic commuter train that keeps Mumbai moving. Discover why crispy papads tastes infinitely better grilled over charcoal.

    We'll enjoy street food specialities that have been feeding hungry locals for decades. We'll start at Chaayos cafe at Churchgate, near the Fort area, convenient to all the city's hotel and accommodation options.

    We'll venture onto the famous commuter train, hopping on for a short 10 minute ride to experience the daily life for locals in the city. Trains are every 5 minutes, so you won't wait long, and don't worry we've got you covered for the ticket. Your local guide will expertly navigate you to our next stop. Bring your camera!
  3. Marine Lines
    1h 15m
    Stepping off the train platform, you'll discover another side of the city that foreign visitors rarely venture to. Whilst you are mopping up slow-cooked kheema with freshly baked bread, we reveal the stories behind some of the last remaining Parsi communities in the city, dating back to the Persian families that moved to India over a century ago. Some tasty food awaits us in this district, as we continue to explore more of the street food scene.
  4. Zaveri Bazaar
    1h
    Next up is a stroll through the buzzing khau galli alleyways of Zaveri bazaar, paying homage to some legendary street food in the South of India. Skip lunch, because you're not going to want to pass on the crispy masala papads, the chutney-spiked pudla, cheese dripping dosas, the creamy moongdal halwa, among much more.
  5. Mangaldas Market
    1h
    This 15+ food tasting tour will gorge on everything from local chaat snacks to buttery aubergine curry and freshly baked chapati. We'll venture through the lively district of Mangaldas market to witness local life that visitors to Mumbai rarely get to experience.

    With a belly full of memories, your guide will be happy to help you get a taxi back to your hotel at the end of the tour.
