I joined the East London Indian Food Tour with Secret Food Tours tonight, and it was such a fantastic experience! Our guide, Jez, made the 3.5 hours fly by — he was knowledgeable, passionate, witty, and incredibly relatable, which made the evening both fun and memorable.
Going in, I didn’t have huge expectations, but the variety of food we sampled absolutely exceeded them. From Bangladeshi to Pakistani to Indian dishes (and beyond), the flavors really highlighted the diversity within the Indian subculture in East London. These were the kinds of hidden, off-the-beaten-path places that as a foreign traveler I’d never know to seek out on my own.
The tour struck a perfect balance between delicious food, cultural insight, and great conversation within our small group of five travelers. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique, authentic, and flavorful experience in London that goes far beyond the typical tourist stops.
