Food tour was a great experience. Sonali was our guide and she pointed out historical significant buildings while walking and told us everything from history of the food vendor we were visiting, to difference of each food sample between regions and much more. We took the 1pm tour and it was enough food to fill us for lunch and dinner. We would have never found these places in the labyrinth of old Delhi alleys on our own. Highly recommend!!

Parul and The Lost Compass are a must when visiting Delhi. It ended up just being myself and Parul on my tour which was a lovely time exploring various foods and areas. The food was delicious and the information rich and filling as well. Highly recommend!

I didn't know I had a perfect way to spend a day until Sonali took me into Old Delhi foodie heaven. No one else had booked but instead of cancelling (which every other tour operator would have) it was just the 2 of us meandering through the market stalls with all the sights, sounds and smells. Stopping off at the most established family run food stalls. These guys know their craft, their secrets handed down from generation to generation for our delectation. One can't stumble on such a wonderful array of traditional street food without inside knowledge. Sonali was so warm, kind and informative. I truly could not have imagined a more perfect experience. If you want to know the real side of Delhi's food heritage and culture, book a tour, you won't regret it!! Worth every rupee and a day out of your schedule. Am experience I'll never forget. Thank you so much Sonali!!

Sonali, the guide made this a 5 star experience. She was extremely knowledgable about the cuisine, the venues, and food’s place in Indian history and culture. Her choices gor tastings were diverse. Her ability to navigate chaotic Delhi was truly impressive.

Was a brilliant tour - have done a few street food tours in different cities and this was definitely up there with our favourites. The food was incredible, our guide Stanley was very knowledgable and passionate, and it was nice to have extra context to the city and history beyond just the food. Definitely recommended.

It was the best food tour ever! The different flavors, textures, and ingredients were so perfectly arranged! I loved the mix of history, culture, and visual fest of old Delhi!

The vegetarian food tour with Sonali was fantastic. She takes you to some great places you would never find yourself in bewildering Old Delhi. You can eat as much as you like or just taste different foods. A great experience just walking the narrow streets too. Highly recommended.

Sonali treated us to a feast of vegetarian delights as we walked round the Old Delhi markets. She was very informative and a pleasure to wander around with. The food was well spaced out with walking in between which was good so we could digest before the next stop. Would definitely recommend.

Had amazing day with sonali, Meeting up in Central Place and taking from there the Metro with all the group . The tour is interesting and not too heavy. Normally they do it in a small group . she took us to a lot of amazing streets where we could never visit without the tour in the end of the day we were full of food and happiness

This was one of the best food tours I've ever attended, and I couldn't imagine a better way to immerse myself in India's fascinating and vibrant street culture. Sonali was the champion of this tour. Chandni Chowk can feel overwhelming, but following her lead, I felt safe and free to fully enjoy the energy and charm of this lively area. The street food we sampled was bold, flavorful, and rich with history. Each bite came with a story that added depth to the experience. My personal highlight was the Chai house we visited. That was no doubt the best Masala Chai I had all week, perfectly paired with NanKhatai (delightful shortbread-like cookies). Beyond the food, Sonali was a spectacular storyteller. I came away with a deeper understanding of India and how its food culture has evolved through history. I also appreciate this young startup's commitment to transparency in Delhi's touring market. They don't do commissions, so you won't find yourself being diverted to souvenir shops or unexpected detours. If you love walking among locals, experiencing real life, and savoring the authentic flavors of Delhi, this tour is a must-try!

Great experience, delicious food, learned a lot about the history and the culture of India. Raghu is a very open-minded and friendly guide.

My wife and I took the afternoon food tour with Sonali as our The Lost Compass guide. I could not have asked for a better tour with a better guide, she was superb. From the start, meeting her and traveling to Old Delhi she was confident, knowledgable, and compassionate. I felt safe, even in the most chaotic of scenarios (in an Indian tuk-tuk, navigating the Metro, or walking through throngs of market goers and vendors). The experience was fabulous, enriching, and exciting. Sonali has a definitive grasp of Indian food, history, and the market culture. It was clear that the food stops had been curated from the multitude of food vendors, for quality food, history (many were the original, or the oldest still in existence, purveyors of their type of food item), and cultural significance. Sonali took great care in adding to the food stops with notable sites on our route, such as Fatehpuri Masjid and Naughara, Row of Nine Houses. I would not hesitate to book another tour with The Lost Compass, unfortunately I do not have the time on this trip, and hopefully will get to see Sonali again. Saying "Great" Indian Food Tour is underselling it.

What an unforgettable experience! We chose the vegetarian tour and were guided by Sonali. She, being a foodie, is amazingly knowledgeable about the food, the history, and the preparation. While the area is crowded, she led us seamlessly though to each restaurant. Those working in each place know her and she gets tables when none seem to be available. Sonali is a great conversationalist and is easy to understand. She handles difficult situations with ease. The food choices are spot-on with a good balance between sweet and savory. She is conscious of the level of spiciness each person prefers and is not pushy about what you choose to finish or toss. We are so grateful to have been paired with Sonali for this tour. She is the best!

This was an excellent tour. Sonali held so much knowledge and was friendly and easy to talk to. As a solo female traveller on my first day in India, I felt very safe the entire time. The food was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend this experience.

Really enjoyed our food tour with Stanley - he was an excellent storyteller and we got to try many incredible local street snacks with a meal at the end. He also covered a lot of history and areas we wouldn’t visit alone in Old Delhi.
