Overview

We at "Foodies Day Out" offer you the chance to experience the local cuisine as the natives do. We take you to places where no guide book can lead you to. On this tour, we travel across the city of Madurai, to taste the best culinary dishes the city has to offer. We drive around in a car to eat the best signature dishes of our local eateries and also walk along the streets to indulge ourselves in uninhibited eating spree. You will get to taste some unique "madurai" dishes, such as paruthipaal (cotton seed milk), thennam kuruthu (bark of the coconut tree), bun parotta, the super delicious Jil Jil Jigar Thanda etc.

A must foodie night out in Madurai

Published on Mar, 2025

An exhilarating magical mystery tour around Madurai’s secret food destinations curated by Madurai born Muku. Come along hungry for a night of culinary delights with fine and relaxed conversation with Muku. Fabulous food in a fun and relaxed setting, driven by Muku so you get to see night time Madurai too. Best thing we did in Madurai. Not to be missed. We really enjoyed our night - thank you Muku.

A wonderful food tour

Published on Feb, 2025

A absolutely wonderful tour with the most amazing guide, Jafreen! She took us all over Madurai and we tasted a plethora of foods. We learned so much about southern India food and culture. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Jafreen and spending time with her! Don’t hesitate- book this tour!!

Eat like the locals

Published on Feb, 2025

“Eating like a local” is what every true traveller wants. Researching street food is what many famous European chefs have done recently and are showing it in their TV programmes. All the privileges that they have you can have, including videos and photographs. In Madurai we were taken through town by two charming ladies sampling dishes and drinks you would not have a chance to taste in the hotels. Surprising methods of preparation, explanation about ingredients, an insight into what how and when the locals eat. We cannot recommend the tour enough. A chat about the city and daily life was an extra bonus. Thanks a lot for your enthusiasm and dedication. Peter and Nell from Antwerp

Amazing Experience and Fabulous Guide!

Published on Feb, 2025

My mother and I were visiting Madurai from the US and happened upon Foodies Day Out and we are so glad we did! It was one of the highlights of our visit. Praveena was an amazing host, making us feel immediately comfortable and we got to try so many delicious foods that we otherwise never would have even thought to sample. My mother is 75 and was a little hesitant to do a street food tour but she absolutely loved it and has thanked me multiple times since for booking. We strongly recommend!
