Well organised so that we didn't need to wait for food at all, and such lovely people at each place. Make sure you go when hungry as lots of tasty treats!

5.00If you are looking for a food tour in Kathmandu, stop looking and just go with Deepak. Not only does he know where the good stuff is, he also came up with the best stories to tell. Every stop was delicious, authentic, and at the end, I left with full tummy and zero regret. And Deepak is such a nice and funny person too and genuinely lovely to spend a few hours with. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring the city with a friend who happens to know all the best spots. Dhanyabad and feri bhetaula! 🇳🇵
Great intro to Nepali cuisine

5.00This tour was one of the most beautiful experiences I had in Kathmandu. Deepak is an incredibly kind and warm person, and a truly great guide with deep knowledge of Nepali culture and food. It never felt like just a tour — it felt like spending time with a friend. It’s a wonderful way to connect with someone from a different part of the world and have meaningful conversations about life while tasting amazing food. Be prepared — you will try A LOT of delicious dishes! I highly recommend this experience from the bottom of my heart. Dhanyabad!

5.00It is a great food tour for nepal. The streets are chaotic and alot of food stalls are extremely questionable. This tour tales you to the safest spots and the guide does a great job navigating the streets for you. This is not luxury and you do walk alot but its the best way to get a taste of real Nepalese food
Excellent street food and...

5.00Really enjoyed the tour. Deepak is a lovely chap who seems to really enjoy what he does. Never felt rushed. Ate at places I wouldn’t have tried on my own. Come hungry! I can eat a lot and was stuffed by the end of the tour.
