Hyatt Regency Delhi Brings The Khansamas Home: An Authentic Rampuri Revival
The Rampuri Food Festival, spanning July 18th to 27th, 2025, emerges as a curated celebration that brings the preserved Nawabi recipes from the royal kitchens of Rampur
The shadows of India's lesser-known royal cuisines lift as Hyatt Regency Delhi launches a tribute to Rampur's forgotten culinary majesty. The Rampuri Food Festival, spanning July 18th to 27th, 2025, emerges as a curated celebration that brings the preserved Nawabi recipes from the royal kitchens of Rampur to the capital through an enticing collaboration with traditional khansamas.
This extraordinary undertaking centers on Chef Rehman's noteworthy journey—18 years of dedicated research and restoration work with Rampur's original khansamas that has yielded an authentic collection of royal recipes. 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. This access to traditional masters, combined with visual narratives of Rampur's royal heritage exemplifies the dining experience.
Operating throughout the festival period from 12:30 PM – 3:00 PM during lunch hours and 7:00 PM to 11:30 PM during dinner hours, this royal celebration offers a rare window into one of India's most exquisite and underexplored culinary legacies. Diners are welcomed to experience the finesse, depth, and splendour that once defined the royal kitchens of Rampur.
