Evening food tour of Sowcarpet

Published on Mar, 2025

Great evening with interesting food for places that we would not have ventured to. Neesh is a knowledgeable, friendly guide who also told us some of Chennai’s interesting history. Would highly recommend

Come hungry, and plan to leave with a full belly and heart!

Published on Feb, 2025

This walking food tour of Chennai was absolutely fantastic. Our guide Neeshanth was so knowledgeable about the area and took us to try some incredible local cuisine! Be sure to pace yourself at the beginning of the tour so you have room in your stomach to try the incredible variety of foods along the way! You will not leave hungry! Neeshanth was incredibly attentive to the group and kept us all safe walking around the bustling and busy streets. He was also so friendly and warm and made us all feel very welcome in an unfamiliar place. This was such a beautifully immersive experience, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Experienced, knowledgeable guide!

Thank you to Neeshanth for a great tour around the Sowcarpet market! He was great at managing our larger group (8 people) through the bustling streets of Chennai and making sure nobody got lost, and took us to some really delicious spots that had options we hadn’t tried or seen after being in India for a week! Be sure to come with very empty stomachs as this food tour will definitely leave you full!

Amazing Chennai Street Food Tour – A Must-Try!

Published on Feb, 2025

I had an amazing experience on the street food tour in Chennai! The variety of flavors, the authenticity of the dishes, and the knowledgeable guide made it an unforgettable culinary adventure. Every stop had something unique to offer, from crispy dosas to mouthwatering chaats. The tour was well-organized, and I got to explore local hidden gems I wouldn’t have found on my own. If you love food and want a true taste of Chennai, I highly recommend this tour!

Great foodie tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Great experience on this tour. Although I’m very familiar with Indian food, this tour gave me an opportunity to try a lot of previously unknown foods. Everything was delicious, and no one had any stomach problems afterwards.
