The Old Hyderabad Food Walk is an evening tasting walk of about three hours in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, operated by The Hyderabad Walking Company. The meeting point is Hotel Nayaab on Charminar Road in the Old City, close to the Charminar monument. The operator lists at least six eateries along the route, plus a walk through a working restaurant kitchen and a visit to a local supplier market, which gives visitors a view of how Hyderabadi dishes are prepared and sourced. An optional extension adds three more stops for those who want a longer tasting. The listed cuisine covers biryani, kebabs, sweets and Irani chai, so the menu mixes savoury dishes with desserts and the city's well-known tea-and-biscuit culture. The price is not fixed on the listing and is described as approximately ₹2,500 to ₹3,500 per person (about $26 to $36), so the current rate should be checked on the operator page at thwc.in. The fee covers the guided walk and the tastings at the six eateries, including the kitchen and market visits. Extra stops on the optional extension, drinks beyond those served, personal shopping and transport to the meeting point are not listed as included. Group size, language and pace are not published, but walks of this kind are typically run in English at a relaxed pace through busy streets, with frequent stops for eating. Dietary substitutions are not documented on the listing, and because Old City menus centre on meat dishes, vegetarians and visitors with allergies should contact the operator before booking. The walk runs in the evening, when the lanes around Charminar are lively and many stalls and bakeries are open. October to March is the most comfortable period for walking outdoors. Photography is usually welcome at stalls, but visitors should ask permission before photographing people or the working kitchen.
