Delicious and Insightful Basavanagudi Food Trail

Absolutely loved this food trail through Basavanagudi! Varsha was an amazing guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting and fun facts about the neighbourhood, its culture, and the food. The food was absolutely lovely, with so many delicious local flavours to try. It was not just a food experience, but also a wonderful way to understand Bengaluru’s history and traditions. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food and wants to explore the city in a fun and engaging way!

Our guide, Varsha, an architect and theatre actor herself, took us to some hidden gems. Got to taste unique food and hear about the historical and architectural nuances of Bangalore. Great value—highly recommend!

Must do activity. Best evening in Bangalore.

Absolutely fantastic- this was one of the best evenings I have spent in Bangalore and I have been here for years. The company was great the conversation excellent and food unparalleled. Varsha is an amazing guide and conversationalist. I didn’t even realise when the time ran out 3.5 hours was not nearly enough!
