Mumbai Food Tour — 178 Years of Bombay on a Plate
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
This 12-tasting food tour will see you eating through 178 years of Bombay, from the city's oldest recipes to dishes that haven't changed since 1936, through kitchens most visitors never find.
Bombay was born in Fort. The Portuguese came first, then the British, then the Parsis, the Iranis, the South Indians, they all passed through these streets and left their food behind. This walk follows that story, one plate at a time.
Your journey begins at a puri sabzi spot open since 1848, six generations, same recipe, a queue that forms before the city wakes up. In summer, the aamras will stop you in your tracks.
From there your guide takes you deeper, a hidden ice cream shop tucked into the same corner for 60 years, the oldest chaat stall in Mumbai still running on the same chutneys,, South Indian food you didn't expect to find here, and a century-old Irani cafe where the bun maska slows everything down.
The tour ends at Bagdadi, serving same Mughlai dishes since 1936

MUMBAI FOOD TOUR

5.00This turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had in the city. Our host, Hrishi, was absolutely fantastic. He took us through the Fort area, but instead of just showing the usual spots, he brought the place to life with deep historical insights. His knowledge and passion really stood out. What made the tour even more special was the food. Hrishi led us through hidden lanes and tiny spots that you would easily miss on your own, places that don’t look like much from the outside but serve incredible food. Some of these places have been around for over a century, which made the experience feel even more authentic and special. There was so much variety to try, and every stop had something unique. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the real Mumbai beyond the usual tourist spots!
Amazing walk and food tour in Mumbai!

5.00We spent a lovely evening exploring the history and food of Mumbai.Hrishi was so knowledgable about the historical buildings and hidden sights and also the variety of the food through the different cultural influences in Mumbai. He was such a fantastic host and wonderful company and we felt comfortable and confident with him navigating busy Mumbai. We highly recommend both him and the tour. An amazing experience we won't forget, come hungry as there's a lot of food! 347/1500
