Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad City Centre is bringing Rajasthan’s royal kitchens to life with the launch of its exclusive food festival, “Mewar to Marwar – Flavours of Royalty,” taking place from 17th to 25th May 2025 at the hotel’s signature restaurant, Essence.

This immersive dining experience takes guests on a culinary journey through the distinct flavours of Mewar and Marwar, the iconic regions of Rajasthan. From earthy and spicy dishes to festive and hearty classics, the festival menu showcases the richness of royal Rajasthani cuisine.

Guests can savour timeless dishes like Ker Sangri, Gatte Ki Sabzi, and the much-loved Dal Baati Churma, along with fiery specialties such as Laal Maas. Meat lovers will be treated to succulent Lamb Chops, perfectly grilled to match the grandeur of the royal fare.

For those with a sweet tooth, traditional desserts like Ghewar add a perfect finish to the royal spread. Each dish is prepared using local spices and traditional slow-cooking techniques, ensuring a flavourful and authentic experience.

Executive Chef Somnath Deb commented, “With ‘Mewar to Marwar,’ we’ve recreated the grandeur of Rajasthani royal kitchens. Every dish reflects authenticity, right from our use of local spices to traditional slow-cooking techniques. It’s a tribute to Rajasthan’s timeless culinary legacy.”

Adding to the sentiment, Suraj Kumar Jha, General Manager at Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad City Centre, said, “At Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad, we constantly strive to bring immersive culinary experiences to our guests. This festival is our ode to India’s rich cultural mosaic — and a chance for our patrons to savour the true flavours of Rajasthan’s royal heritage.”

Guests can indulge in this regal feast from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM during the festival period, set against a backdrop of elegance and tradition at Essence, the hotel’s renowned all-day dining restaurant.
