Step into the warmth of Zaika-e-Kashmir, a thoughtfully curated Kashmiri food festival at Novotel Hyderabad Convention Centre. Hosted at Permit to Grill and Food Exchange for a limited period, this special dinner experience draws inspiration from the serene valleys and snow-capped mountains of Kashmir, while also honouring the culinary influences of the Pashtun community, whose robust, slow-cooked traditions have enriched the region’s food heritage over centuries.
Leading this culinary journey is Chef Dr. Parvinder Singh Bali, a celebrated gastronome known for his deep respect for regional traditions and mastery of authentic flavours. With years of experience exploring the foodways of the Himalayas and beyond, Chef Bali brings nuance and heart to every dish, honouring age-old techniques while inviting diners to experience the true essence of Kashmiri cuisine.
‘Zaika-e-Kashmir’ will be celebrating deep heritage through honest, hearty food that comforts like a hearth on a chilly evening. Each dish carries stories shaped by the valleys and passed down through generations, bringing families together over flavours that feel both soulful and timeless.
Indulge in an authentic spread featuring regional favourites such as Rogan Josh, Yakhni, Gushtaba, Tabak Maaz, Dum Aloo, Nadru Yakhni, Kahwa, and traditional breads served with rustic accompaniments that reflect the true spirit of the region.
The experience is elevated with traditional decor, live regional music, and service styled to echo the hospitality of the mountains. Guests are encouraged to dress in ethnic wear and kurtas to immerse themselves in the evening’s ambience truly.
This is more than a dinner; it is a cultural journey to the highlands, crafted for a short time only. Reserve your table and be part of this memorable celebration.
