His commitment to storytelling through food aligns with Hyatt Regency Delhi's philosophy of delivering genuine culinary experiences, creating a collaboration that honors tradition within a contemporary set up.
The festival's specially designed buffet format allows guests to experience Rampuri cuisine to the fullest, from aromatic kebabs like Seb ke Katli to rich curries such as Tar Korma, each dish exuded the refined techniques and balanced flavoring that characterize this sophisticated royal cuisine. The menu extends beyond typical offerings to include rare desserts unique to Rampur, crafted using methods passed down through generations.
Beyond exceptional cuisine, the festival delivers a cultural experience through direct interaction with the original khansamas whose presence brings authenticity and historical context to every evening.
