Whether you love Indian food already or are looking to learn more about the cuisine, this tour is the perfect introduction to London’s curry scene.
Arrive hungry and breathe in the unmistakeable aromas of curries and spices as you meet your guide, an expert on the local area, to begin the tour.
By turns hip and historic, Brick Lane is often called Banglatown for the clusters of world-class restaurants along it serving up authentic food from all over India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Your guide will navigate you through the streets and stop off at the best spots to sample a diverse range of foods.
Tastes of India
As you wander down the street you’ll visit several restaurants, some for a quick bite and others for something more substantial. Try hot and sour curries and classics with fluffy naan bread, accompanied by cold Indian beers.
You’ll try Indian delicacies such as crispy pakora and spongy dhokras, plus classics like samosas as your guide talks you through the spices and flavours that make the cuisine so unique and beloved.
Learn the differences between the foods from different regions – Bangladesh, Pakistan and South India, and explore an Indian grocery store to learn about and buy Indian spices and snacks. You can see traditional paan being made, try a sample, and enjoy some Indian candy in a sweet shop.
The tour will finish with a secret dish that you’ll find out on the day!
