After meeting your guide and small group at Churchgate railway station, you’ll head out on your culinary adventure. Head first to Chowpatty Beach, where you’ll munch on classic local snacks like bhel puri (puffed rice in a tangy tamarind sauce) and pav bhaji (a spicy, mashed vegetable mix). You’ll escape the tourist track and see under-the-radar sights along the way, from the bustling back alleys of Minara Masjid to the Muslim enclave of Bhendi Bazaar.
Taste the kebabs sizzling on streetside grills and meet the beloved vendors who specialize in serving up traditional dishes. Your last stop will be a century-old sweet shop, where you’ll get a chance to satisfy your sweet tooth with hand-churned ice cream and the syrupy, deep-fried drizzles of flour known as jalebi.
