Flamingo Indian Chef Tours – Explore the world with authentic Indian food!

By Meeta Shah on Oct 3, 2025

Summary:
Tired of worrying about food on your international trips? Flamingo’s Indian Chef Tours bring the comfort of home-cooked Indian meals to destinations worldwide. Our Maharaj or Chef cooks fresh, delicious food, allowing you to relax and create amazing memories. It is the perfect, stress-free way to travel the world.

The Food Problem Every Indian Family Faces Abroad

What is the first question most Indian families ask when planning an international trip? Will we get proper Indian vegetarian food there?

Think about this: You are in a fancy restaurant in Paris. Everyone is hungry after walking all day. You are trying to tell the waiter that you want only vegetarian food. The kids are sulking – ये क्या है ?, and the elders are upset as there is no simple दाल – चावल.

This food tension spoils many foreign holidays for Indian families. Half of our vacation goes into finding decent veg food, paying huge money for tasteless meals, struggling with menus in a new language, or eating boring Maggi packets every day.

But what if we told you there is a solution? What if you could see the world’s most beautiful places while eating fresh ghar ka khana every single day? That is why Flamingo’s group tours with an Indian chef are such a relief; you enjoy your holiday while your meals are taken care of.

What Makes Flamingo’s Indian Chef Tours Special?

The Real Difference – Chef vs. Regular Tours

Still thinking if Chef Tours are worth it? 

Regular International Tours Flamingo International Chef Tours
Search for Indian restaurants daily (very tiring) Fresh Indian meals made daily (guaranteed comfort)
Limited veg options that does not taste good Tasty familiar food that everyone loves
Communication problems when ordering food No communication problems with food
Very expensive restaurant bills (₹2000-3000 per person per meal) All meals included in trip cost (saves money)
Stomach problems from unfamiliar food Good health during vacation
Kids and elders struggle with food choices Kids eat happily, elders get simple food they like
Half vacation time spent worrying about next meal Full focus on enjoying places and making memories

Let us see what happens in regular foreign trips versus Chef Tours by Flamingo Transworld.

The difference is clear! With our Chef Tours, you get international travel with home comfort.

How Chef Tours Work – What to Expect

Curious about how these cook tours actually work? Here is the simple process:

  • Chef or Maharaj Travels with You: A professional Indian cook joins your group for the whole trip. This cook knows how to make Indian cuisine while keeping the taste and quality good.
  • Cooking Setup at Hotels: The cook talks to hotels to get kitchen space. Most hotels outside India are okay with groups cooking their own food.
  • Fresh Local Shopping: The cook buys fresh vegetables from local shops. They mix these with Indian spices from India to make food taste like home.
  • Different Meals Every Day: Our chef makes different food each day based on what the group likes and any special dietary needs.
  • Clean and Safe: The cook follows proper hygiene standards, ensuring all food is prepared safely.
  • Special Requests: Allergies or diet needs? The cook prepares separate meals within vegetarian options.

This way, everyone in the group – from children to grandparents – gets comfortable, home-style food throughout the trip.

Is It Worth the Extra Cost?

Many families assume chef tours will be more expensive — but here is the catch: 

  • These are group tours, so many people share the total cost, which makes it cheaper for everyone.
  • Regular tours make you pay extra for Indian food, which can cost a lot more. But Flamingo’s chef tours include all meals in the price you pay.
  • Since all food is included, you will not have surprise costs and do not need to worry about meal budgets.
  • Getting Indian food guaranteed, having a chef take care of you, and the easy convenience make it worth the money.

So, not only do you save money, you also gain peace of mind and better value for your vacation.
