Food festivals are a fantastic way to explore different cuisines from all over the world without leaving the city. They offer a unique opportunity to taste authentic dishes prepared by skilled chefs, often at a fraction of the cost of dining at a traditional restaurant. One fabulous place in Delhi to experience these food festivals is MKT, The Chanakya.

This upscale restaurant regularly hosts themed food festivals that showcase a variety of cuisines, from Japanese and Thai to Chinese, European, Mexican, and Indian coastal specialities. I personally look forward to all the festivals frequently hosted by MKT and each one impresses me with the selection of the dishes and delicious flavours.

Their curated menus promise to impress and delight. This September 2024, they invite you to immerse yourself in the enchanting Sake Soiree Pop-up, a celebration of Japanese traditions. This special event transforms the restaurant into a slice of Japan, featuring an izakaya-inspired menu paired beautifully with artisanal sake cocktails.
