Bangalore Street Food Tour – 12 Tastings & Lalbagh

About the Activity

The Bangalore street food tour is a three-hour evening experience that combines nature, local history and generous food tasting. Meet at Lalbagh West Gate at 5:30 pm, walk through the botanical garden for one hour, and then continue to V. V. Puram Food Street for two hours. The standard route finishes at Sajjan Rao Circle, so it does not return to Lalbagh.

Activity Highlights

• Walk through Lalbagh Botanical Garden before the food crawl.
• Taste more than 12 savoury and sweet items.
• Explore V. V. Puram Food Street with an English-speaking local guide.
• Receive bottled water and included Lalbagh admission.
• Join a small group capped at ten travelers.

What Is Included

The source includes 12 or more tastings, bottled water, Lalbagh Botanical Garden admission and GST. Pickup and drop-off are included only with the separate Private Tour with Pick Up option. The standard tour begins at Lalbagh West Gate and ends at Sajjan Rao Circle. A mobile ticket and booking confirmation are provided.

What Is Not Included

Alcoholic drinks and gratuities are excluded. Hotel transport is not part of the basic walking-tour option. Extra food beyond the planned tastings, personal purchases and special dietary preparation should also be treated as unconfirmed unless they appear on the final voucher.

What to Expect

The first hour is calmer. The guide leads the group through Lalbagh and introduces the garden before the route moves into a much busier food setting. The next two hours focus on V. V. Puram, also called Thindi Beedi, where guests stand near popular counters and sample a wide mix of local food.

The supplier promotes dosas, idlis and chaat. Recent guests also reported bajjis, holige, Congress buns, mango lassi, milkshakes and falooda. These examples show the possible range, but the exact menu can change with the day, vendor availability and group needs. One reviewer estimated tasting 12–15 dishes, while another praised the guide’s flexibility for vegetarian preferences.
