JW Kitchen at JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru has unveiled Apnu Gujarat, a special culinary pop-up celebrating the rich and diverse food traditions of Gujarat. The experience takes guests beyond popular Gujarati favourites to explore lesser-known recipes that have been preserved through generations across villages, family kitchens, and local communities.

Curated by Chef Poonam Dedhia, whose culinary work focuses on documenting and preserving Gujarat’s regional food heritage, Apnu Gujarat presents a gastronomic journey inspired by the state’s seasons, migration stories, indigenous ingredients, and everyday cooking traditions.

The experience begins with refreshing beverages including Pineapple Phudina nu Sharbat and Kokum-Anar nu Sharbat, setting the stage for a menu that explores Gujarat’s regional flavours. Guests can savour traditional delicacies such as Khambhat na Dabda, Kutchi Dabeli, Makai na Paaniya with Lilo Vaatelo Masalo, and Dakor na Gota.

The main course highlights the diversity of Gujarati cuisine with an array of vegetarian specialties including Dadam-Nariyal Bharela Parwal, Turiya-Makai nu Shaak, Sargava nu Shaak, Amreli na Kaju-Ganthiya nu Shaak, Kathiyawadi Adad ni Dal, Boondi ni Kadhi, and Methi-Lasan ni Kadhi.

The feast is complemented by traditional accompaniments such as Kaju Pulao, Biscuit Bhakhri, Methi Thepla, and Lila Mag Dal ni Khichdi, offering guests an authentic taste of Gujarat’s varied culinary landscape.

The dessert selection brings the experience to a memorable close with regional favourites including Vedmi, Dryfruit Boondi, Kesar-Pista Matho, Kesar Jalebi, and Dudhi Halwo. A refreshing glass of Dhungareli Chaas completes the traditional Gujarati dining experience.

More than just a food festival, Apnu Gujarat is designed as a journey through the state’s culinary heritage, allowing guests to discover the stories, traditions, and communities behind recipes that have stood the test of time.

The pop-up is available at JW Kitchen, JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru, until 19th July 2026, offering diners an opportunity to experience Gujarat’s forgotten flavours through a thoughtfully curated menu.
