5.00We had a fantastic time with Mr Jai Singh, sampling some amazing street food all within easy walking distance of each other. Everything we ate was delicious and we were assured that Jai Singh knew what was suitable for an European stomach! He was a fabulous host and a great walk your companion. Highly recommended if you love good food and also want to bust many negative stereotypes about Indian street food
