Carrying food into India

Hello, I am travelling to India for 2 weeks in April. Can anyone tell me if there are any restrictions on taking food into India. I would like to be able to bring dry biscuits, cereal bars etc as a little plain relief from all the Indian food we hope to be eating! We are flying into Delhi to tour Rajasthan and then flying to Cochin to tour Kerala before flying home from Trividandrum. Any advice gratefully received!

Dry foods, cereal bars, chocolates are no problem, people bring them all the time. But remember that April is a summer month, and be careful how you pack things because anything which can melt, will melt.

To add to Brave1, you get very good biscuits in India. I would buy them locally. Some of the biscuits at local bakeries are just fabulous. There are also packaged Marie (thins), Digestives, Gingernut, etc available. You would not miss the British biscuits except for Jaffa Cakes.I know that good cereal bars are available in cities.

If you are a McVities jaffa Cakes addict, do bring them along and spare a thought for a family that misses them.

There is all sorts of cuisine to be had in India, from pizzas to burgers to Italian, Japanese, Thai, Mexican, Chinese, and Mediterranean. You won%26#39;t be forced to eat Indian food all the time.

Here%26#39;s a list of 147 Pizza Hut stores across 35 cities in India:

Apart from this, there are many many restaurants. There are also supermarkets and stores where you can buy all sorts of things, ranging from nachos to chips to biscuits to chocolates, wafers and many more snacks. Bring a couple of cereal bars if you must, as an emergency, but it%26#39;s not a must.
