11 Food Tour Cities in India Foodies Will Love

11. Bhopal — Mughal-influenced kebabs and street snacks

Bhopal mixes Mughal and regional flavors into kebabs, pulaos, and satisfying street snacks. Food walks usually move through Old Bhopal’s bazaars, where you can taste layered kebabs, light pulao, and breakfast items like poha that locals love. Tours often include lakeside cafés that serve relaxed meals in the evening, and chefs who preserve family recipes on older streets. Practical tips: early evening is a pleasant time for walks, and asking a guide about spice levels helps tailor your experience. Many visitors find Bhopal’s food scene pleasantly relaxed compared with larger metro cities, and guided tours are a good way to uncover lesser-known stalls that locals recommend. Verified listings on TripAdvisor or local tourism pages can help you pick a reputable operator for a safe, informative tasting route.
