Sowcarpet Street Food Walking Tour in Chennai with guide

About this activity

Sowcarpet is Chennai's most famous food street and one of the greatest places to eat in India. Traders from across the country settled here generations ago and brought their food traditions with them. The result is a single street where you can eat Murukku sandwich, a uniquely Chennai invention, then Lassi made by a former wrestler, then freshly fried Jalebi from a stall serving the neighbourhood for decades.

• This guided street food walk takes you through Sowcarpet for two hours with a food evangelist who knows every stall and every story.
• You will taste signature dishes from legendary local stalls, walk through frenetic lanes brimming with spices, flowers and colour, and eat the way Chennai actually eats rather than the way tourists are usually fed.
• 5 Senses Tours is recognised by the Ministry of Tourism of India and a member of the Indian Association of Tour Operators.
• Every walk employs local guides and supports local food businesses, ensuring your food spend stays in the community.
