Delhi is considered the food capital of India and is known throughout the country for its delectable food and drink. This delicious Delhi food tour begins with a bit of local culture.

You’ll sample some crispy potatoes and stop for the best homemade ice cream in Delhi, "kulfi-falooda". A little more walking through the bustling, fascinating streets of Delhi will lead you to your final stop – a sweet shop, where you have the opportunity to try some fresh "samosa", "rabdi", "gulab jamun", and sweet flavored milk.
