Sheraton Grand Pune Bund Garden has announced a food festival, “Mejvani-E-Kolhapur,” to celebrate the vibrant cuisine of the beautiful temple town.

The city on the banks of the Panchaganga River is known for its distinctive spices. The hotel’s Sous Chef, Prashant Bhausaheb Raut, has curated a menu to bring the authentic tastes and aromas of Kolhapur, seeking to ensure a dining experience that is both unique and memorable. 

From the fiery Tambda Rassa, a traditional spicy red mutton curry, to the creamy Pandhara Rassa, a mild white mutton curry complimented by Bhakri, and the spicy Thecha, To the iconic Misal Pav, featuring a spicy sprouted bean curry topped with crunchy farsan. 

The range of dishes includes farsan, and desserts like Gul Poli and Puran Poli, delectable flatbreads stuffed with jaggery and lentils. All this can be washed down with piyush, a rich drink made from shrikhand mixed with buttermilk, or with amrut, a refreshing herbal drink made from local medicinal herbs and spices.

The festival will be on from June 28 to July 7, 2024, and is priced at Rs. 1999 plus taxes per head.
