The Leela Gandhinagar invites guests to savour a majestic journey through Maratha culinary history at the Royal Maratha Culinary Indulgence, a specially curated dining experience held at Diya Restaurant from 27th June to 6th July 2025, between 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM.

This unique event pays homage to the Maratha Empire’s gastronomic legacy, which spans the 17th and 18th centuries. From hearty warrior meals to the refined dishes served in royal courts, the Maratha culinary tradition is both robust and regal. Guests can expect a menu rooted in heirloom recipes, beautifully complemented by traditional Maratha décor and live cultural performances that bring the royal era to life.

At the heart of this experience is Guest Chef Sonal Naik Nimbalkar Mahurkar, a descendant of the Naik Nimbalkar dynasty of Western Maharashtra. She represents the royal family of Wather, a region once part of the Phaltan state. With her deep roots in Maratha culinary traditions, Chef Sonal brings to the table recipes passed down through generations—offering guests a taste of authentic dishes rarely found outside royal households.

Set in the warm and elegant surroundings of Diya Restaurant, the event is a feast for all senses. Whether you're a history buff, a culinary explorer, or simply someone looking to enjoy a memorable evening of culture and cuisine, this indulgence promises a royal treat.
