Ayushakti, one of the leading names in Ayurveda, is back with its much-anticipated Khichdi Festival, inviting Mumbaikars to enjoy a soulful spread of India’s beloved comfort food. Hosted at Swadshakti, Ayushakti’s Ayurvedic restaurant located in Malad West, the festival is running until 10th August, 2025, offering over 12 delightful varieties of khichdi that blend traditional Ayurvedic recipes with authentic Indian flavours.

Timed perfectly with the monsoon season, the festival is designed to support digestive wellness during a time when doshic imbalances are common. Each recipe at the festival is created with a deep understanding of Ayurveda, specifically keeping in mind the balance of vata, pitta, and kapha doshas. With a menu focused on promoting digestion and enhancing immunity, the Khichdi Festival isn’t just a culinary delight, it’s a celebration of food as medicine.

Guests can savour comforting dishes like Quinoa Dal Veg Khichdi, Lahsuni Palak Khichdi, and even a fusion twist like Mumbai Pav Bhaji Khichdi. Each plate is served with a side of Mung Roast Papad and a refreshing Energy Kadhi, adding both crunch and balance to the wholesome meal.

“We are excited to host our Annual Khichdi Festival once again. Food is a form of medicine in Ayurveda, and khichdi is one of the sattvic, most easily digestible, and healing meals we can have during monsoon,” said Vaidya Smita Naram, Co-Founder of Ayushakti. She also noted that a warm bowl of herb-infused khichdi can do wonders for one’s gut, immunity, and overall energy.

The menu has been thoughtfully curated to appeal to all age groups, ensuring that both the young and old can enjoy a nourishing meal that supports their wellbeing. Open from 11 AM to 11 PM daily, the Khichdi Festival at Swadshakti offers an inviting space for families and food lovers to come together over a healing bowl of khichdi.

The event promises not just flavour, but also a deeper connection to wellness through food, right in the heart of Mumbai.
