3.00Odd experience. Hoped for exposure to different Indian cuisines (north, south, street food) but it was mostly North Indian with Pakistani kebabs at the end. The restaurant where we spent the most time has amazing online reviews but the chicken dish sorely lacked flavor. The grocery store portion felt awkward and forced. Probably would not do again or recommend to others.
Excellent evening, highly recommend

5.00Amin led our tour - what an amazing evening. He made the evening so informative and enjoyable! Such a knowledgeable, warm and personable guide. We learned about the culture and process of cooking a variety of dishes. Come hungry - we were served in quantity, quality, and variety. Amin made it all go smoothly with food magically appearing as we arrived at each place. So glad we booked this tour. Thank you, Amin!
