Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty is bringing the traditional flavours of Rajasthan to Kochi with Flavours of Mewar, a three-day food festival in partnership with Cafe Auberge by House of Bhinder. Scheduled from November 13 to 15, 2026, the festival will take guests on a culinary journey through the royal kitchens of Rajasthan.

Curated by Chef Parthvi Shaktawat, the experience celebrates the rich food traditions of Mewar through recipes passed down through generations. The specially crafted menu features slow-cooked royal delicacies, traditional curries, rustic village dishes and family recipes prepared using regional spices and traditional cooking methods.

Guests can explore signature dishes such as Rajasthani Laal Maas, Bhinder Special Bhuna Meat, Desi Bhinder Murgh, Junglee Maas and Macchi Ke Sule. The vegetarian selection includes Mewari Kali Dal, Rajasthani Gatta Masala, Methi Papad Ka Saag and Masala Patod. These dishes will be complemented by traditional breads, grain preparations and regional accompaniments.

The festival will also feature a selection of traditional Rajasthani desserts, including Laapsi, Choorma Ladoo, Badam Pista Ki Parodi and Kesar Elaichi Shrikhand. Each preparation reflects the region's culinary heritage and the food traditions associated with family gatherings and celebrations.

Chef Parthvi Shaktawat is a 21st-generation descendant of Maharaja Shakti Singhji, the brother of Maharana Pratap, and the custodian of the 439-year-old Rajmahal Bhindar. Continuing the hospitality legacy of her late grandmother, Ranisa Anand Kunwar, she launched Cafe Auberge to preserve regional Mewari cooking. Working with village cooks, she brings traditional family recipes, local culinary practices and open-flame cooking traditions to the table.
