Food tours, cooking classes and bad jokes. Take your pick (the bad jokes are not optional). We are also the food tour operators for the Australian High Commission, the American Embassy and the American Women's Association! Still not impressed? Alright, let me tell you how we operate. Are you looking to get an insight into food from across India? Have you ever wondered about the difference between North Indian and South Indian Food? All you need is a tour with the Award winning DFT! With over 550 guests from 37 countries in our first year, DFT is the most reliable food tour experience in Delhi. The creation of a former lawyer and his wife (a corporate trainer), all tours are run by the owners personally. Imagine this, a husband-wife duo, pick you up from your hotel and take you to up to 6 different restaurants, tasting food, tea and coffee from across India in 3-4 hours! « less

Foodie or not, it would be difficult not to enjoy the company of Prashant and Ayesha as they expertly navigate you to some of Delhi's food-joint gems. Although we are locals, we decided that it was time to employ some experts to introduce a few new places into our restaurant repertoire. We are so glad that we did! The tea... More

A must if you are in Delhi! We had a great experience with Prashant, who showed us some amazing places to eat. After returning from India, we are now hooked on dosas, so be prepared to fall in love with India food. Well worth the money and a great experience for all types of traveller!

We traveled for 20 days and this was definitely one of our best experiences. Pick-up went smoothly, drink and food were good, and they were interested in making sure we had the best experience so they kept making sure we were okay for the next spot and food. This was our favorite experience in Delhi by far.

This was a great way to experience Delhi and try some places I normally would have been worried to eat at. Our host was lovely and took us to some great places. If you are looking to test all the yummy food Delhi has to offer, look no further. Book this tour and enjoy some amazing food!

This cooking class was a wonderful introduction to India and Indian food from a delightful, foodie family. If you are beginning your India adventure in Delhi, there's not a better way to start.

Dear Guest Thanks so much for your kind words. I must say that your review captures the beauty of a cooking class in India. Indian food suffers from many stereotypes. Why? Because Non-Indian people make 'Indian' food in 'Indian' restaurants all around the world and none of the food they make is truly Indian! The most common stereotype is that... More
