The experience

The tour starts at Chowpatty Beach at sunset, where you'll taste pani puri, sev puri, dahi puri, bhel puri, pav bhaji, benne dosa and kulfi while watching the Arabian Sea. This is Mumbai's most famous beach, and the food stalls here are where locals come for their evening snacks. From there, a taxi takes you to Bhuleshwar, a Gujarati and Rajasthani neighborhood built around a local temple and a sprawling spice market. You'll walk through the khao gallis, the eating lanes, and try lassi, the yogurt drink that defines the area.

The final stop is Mohammed Ali Road, a predominantly Muslim neighborhood where the food shifts to non-vegetarian options: chicken kebabs, chicken rolls and baida rotis. The khao gallis here are packed and loud, and this is where you'll see how the city eats after dark. If you still have room, the tour ends with rabdi, gulab jamun, jalebi and kulfi: the sweets that round out the evening. Your guide speaks English throughout and knows which stalls are worth stopping at and why.

Transportation between the three areas is included, so you're not navigating the city yourself or figuring out which lane leads where. All food and drinks are included in the price, which means you taste without counting the cost of each stop. The whole experience runs about three and a half hours.

What’s included

• Transportation between the three neighborhoods.

• all food and drinks at every stop, from pani puri and pav bhaji at Chowpatty to lassi in Bhuleshwar to kebabs and baida rotis on Mohammed Ali Road, plus sweets like gulab jamun, jalebi and kulfi.

Top questions

What exactly is pani puri and what other snacks will I taste at Chowpatty?

Pani puri is a hollow, crispy shell filled with spiced potatoes, chickpeas and tamarind water. You eat it in one bite. At Chowpatty you'll also taste sev puri (crispy rounds topped with potatoes and chickpeas), dahi puri (similar but with yogurt), bhel puri (a mix of puffed rice, potatoes and tamarind), pav bhaji (spiced vegetable curry with buttered bread), benne dosa (a crepe made with rice and lentils), and kulfi (a frozen milk dessert).

Will there be vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, or is this tour mostly one or the other?

The tour covers both. Chowpatty and Bhuleshwar are primarily vegetarian, with lassi and dosa as highlights. Mohammed Ali Road, the final neighborhood, focuses on non-vegetarian food like chicken kebabs, chicken rolls and baida rotis (egg flatbread). The tour ends with sweets that everyone can eat.

Do I need to arrange my own way to the starting point at Chowpatty Beach?

Yes, you'll need to get to Chowpatty Beach on your own. The tour does not include hotel pickup. Once the tour begins, transportation between Chowpatty, Bhuleshwar and Mohammed Ali Road is arranged and included.

What's the difference between the shared and private tour options?

The shared tour runs as a group with other travelers. The private tour is just you and your guide. Both include the same neighborhoods, food, guide and transportation. Choose shared if you want to meet other people interested in Mumbai's food scene, or private if you prefer a more personalized pace and the flexibility to linger at stops.

How much walking is involved, and will I be comfortable if I'm not very fit?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels. You'll walk through the khao gallis (eating lanes) and the spice market in Bhuleshwar, but the pace is set by the guide and built around stopping to eat. Most of the time is spent at food stalls rather than walking long distances.

Is this tour only for people who eat meat, or can vegetarians do the whole thing?

Vegetarians can do the entire tour. Chowpatty and Bhuleshwar are vegetarian-focused, and the sweets at the end are vegetarian. Mohammed Ali Road has non-vegetarian options, but your guide can point you to vegetarian khao gallis in that neighborhood if you prefer to skip the meat dishes.
