10/10 Would Recommend - An incredible experience from start to finish. Raghu takes amazing care of you as he whisks you through the streets of old Delhi, dropping in to try the most incredible and unique food. We were in a small but intimate group of 7 from around the world and met some lovely people.
The food was incredible. Dishes I have never heard of were the stars of the show. The menu of snacks and bites is well thought through and curated, arrive hungry and you will be taken care off. Such fun! Great value for money considering the 15+ things you eat, taxis, trains you visit. Plus, Raghu is a legend and his team take great care of you.

A uniquely flavorful experience 👌 - Visiting India for the first time meant one thing for me — I had to try the food. And what better way to do that than joining The Great Indian Food Tour: Old Delhi Food & Heritage Walk with The Lost Compass.
I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Raghu and Parul were so warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made us feel comfortable from the start.
What I appreciated the most was how thoughtful they were about food allergies. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I was a bit worried at first. But they made sure I had alternative dishes so I could still fully enjoy authentic Indian food (just without the dairy). That extra effort meant so much to me.
Every stop was bursting with flavor — rich, bold, and unforgettable. It wasn’t just about eating; it was about experiencing Old Delhi through its food, stories, and culture.
Thank you, Raghu and Parul, for making our Indian food experience so memorable. We truly enjoyed every bite.
And we hope you get to visit the Philippines someday, too 🤗🇮🇳🇵🇭

A Flavorful and Unforgettable India Food Tour Experience ✨🍛 - Our India food tour with The Lost Compass was such a fun and unforgettable experience. It was more than just eating, it was discovering the stories and flavors behind authentic Indian cuisine.
The food was amazing. My top 3 favorite was the aloo chaat, a completely different and delicious approach to potatoes. The masala tea was a perfect blend of warmth and spices, so comforting in every sip. And the buffalo kebab was superb, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor.
What made the whole experience even better were our tour guides, Parul and Raghu. They were very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable. They made sure everyone was comfortable, explained the dishes in detail, and shared interesting stories that made the tour even more special. Their energy and hospitality truly added to the overall experience.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants a flavorful and memorable food adventure.

Brilliant food tour with Sonali - We had a fantastic introduction to the Delhi food experience with Sonali. The variety of foods we experienced was great and Sonali explained in detail what we are tasting and helped coordinate the tour through the crazy streets of the old town, Dehli.
We would definitely recommend a tour with Sonali especially if its your 1st time in Dehli.

Best choice of tour when in Delhi - I took this food tour with a friend from Brazil, and our guide, Aakash, was truly exceptional — honestly one of the best guides we’ve had anywhere in India, and we traveled extensively around the country. The tour is beautifully designed, allowing us to experience an incredible variety of Indian dishes and street food, all carefully selected for quality and hygiene, and every single bite was delicious. We had already been traveling through India for more than ten days when we joined the tour, yet we still discovered so many dishes we had never tried before. If I could, I would return to Delhi just to take this food tour with Aakash again!

Must do tour in Delhi - Sonali was an excellent guide and picked the perfect street food spots. We would never have found all of these street food vendors by ourselves as first time visitors to Delhi. Some particular highlights were the Indian sweets and authentic lassi, plus seeing the spice market. Highly recommended. Also, we ate enough for both breakfast and lunch so don’t eat before!!!

10/10 Old Delhi Food Tour - The Old Delhi street food tour was an absolute highlight of my trip. Dolly was an incredible guide! Super knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the local food scene. She introduced me to so many unique dishes I never would have discovered on my own, and each stop felt thoughtfully chosen.
When I mentioned that I needed to leave the tour a bit early, Dolly went above and beyond to help me navigate to the taxi pickup location and clearly communicated my destination to the driver, which made the whole process completely stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. A perfect 10/10—highly recommend booking with Dolly!

A fabulous tour from start to finish, highly recommended. - Our guide Dolly was fantastic. She spoke excellent English and was very professional, informative, humorous and great fun to be with.
She made contact with us before the tour with clear instructions about the meeting point and also helped us to arrange return transport to our hotel.
Clearly hygiene was a key priority for her during the tour and we were always offered hand sanitizer before eating anything. The range of foods we sampled was extensive and the quantity more than satisfied our hunger. By the end of the tour we could eat no more ...so make sure you arrive with an empty stomach and a big appetite.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this tour to our friends. We had a great time Dolly, thank you so much.
