As well as boasting some of the worlds finest
restaurants, New Delhi burgeoning food scenes
also offers a small, but excellent offering of
food festivals, with a uniquely Indian spin.

The Hakuna Matata African Barbecue food festival

I recently attended this festival at the Barbeque
Nation restaurant in Delhi and it was truly one
of the most unique food festivals I have had the
pleasure of visiting in the city. The food itself
was a carnivores paradise, being mainly
comprised of the kind of barbeque that is popular
in many Southern African nations and featured
peri-peri chicken legs, grilled fish, barbequed
prawns and even vegetable dumplings for all the
vegetarians in attendance. It is not just the
food that set this festival apart from many of
the other options available in Delhi, the venue
was decorated in a mesmerising Sub-Saharan style,
with guests enjoying a variety of safari themed
props and entertainment provided by some rather
impressive fire juggling from members of staff.

International Mango Festivals

The International Mango Festival has been held
annually in New Delhi since 1987, and in those 27
years has risen in prominence to become one of
Indias most internationally renowned and popular
food festivals, as well as one of my personal
favorites.India is the worlds largest producer
of mangoes and as such, the Delhi International
Mango Festival is a must visit for anyone who is
passionate about The King of Fruits. If you
have only ever heard of a few varieties of mango
expect an education. There are over 500
different varieties of mango available at the
festival, all of which can be seen or tasted by
visitors.The festival also provides a great
demonstration of the incredible culinary
versatility of the mango, with an assortment of
mango-based products such as jams, juices,
pickles and canned fruit also on show. Some of
Indias finest chefs also present their exquisite
methods for mango preparation and recipes that
are as delightful to the eyes are they are to the
taste buds.
