Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty invites guests on a captivating culinary journey through the royal kitchens of Rajasthan as it partners with Cafe Auberge by House of Bhinder for an exclusive three-day food festival from 13th to 15th November 2026. Curated by Chef Parthvi Shaktawat, the experience brings the rich flavours, timeless traditions, and warm hospitality of Mewar to Kochi’s scenic waterfront, offering diners an opportunity to savour recipes that have been cherished and passed down through generations.
Steeped in heritage and authenticity, the festival showcases a thoughtfully crafted menu celebrating the diverse culinary traditions of Rajasthan. From slow-cooked royal delicacies and robust curries to rustic village favourites and treasured family recipes, each dish tells a story of culture, craftsmanship, and community. Guests can look forward to signaturing favourites such as Rajasthani Laal Maas, Bhinder Special Bhuna Meat, Desi Bhinder Murgh, Junglee Maas, and Macchi Ke Sule, prepared using traditional techniques and bold regional spices.
The experience extends beyond the mains with a celebration of Rajasthan’s beloved vegetarian fare, including Mewari Kali Dal, Rajasthani Gatta Masala, Methi Papad Ka Saag, and Masala Patod. Complementing these are hand-crafted breads, wholesome grain preparations, and distinctive accompaniments that capture the essence of desert cuisine and home-style hospitality.
Guests can also indulge in an array of traditional desserts, from the comforting sweetness of Laapsi and Choorma Ladoo to the richness of Badam Pista Ki Parodi and the refreshing notes of Kesar Elaichi Shrikhand. Every course has been designed to evoke the warmth of festive gatherings and the grandeur of Rajasthan’s culinary legacy.
More than a dining festival, Flavours of Mewar is an immersive cultural experience that brings people together around the table. Through stories, flavours, and recipes preserved over centuries, guests are invited to experience the spirit of Rajasthan and the celebrated hospitality of the House of Bhinder in an elegant waterfront setting.
