Rajasthani Food Festival, Ramada Plaza

Rajsthani Food Festival, Ramada Plaza Chennai


Last weekend I received an invitation from Ramada Plaza, Chennai to taste their Rajasthani food at the Rajasthani Food Festival. This festival is happening from 15th feb to 24th feb.

People eat through their eyes first and the taste is also most crucial. In a food festival the decor and ambience matters a lot. My experience at that beautiful place.


While entering the Hotel, on the left side you will find there arrangements for the Rajasthani Food Fest. That decor is way too good. You will feel the vibe of Rajasthan there. Dolls, Hukkah, Badhini Dupattas, cute Umbrellas, pictures of the Rajasthani people, Char pai in the corner and camel cut out are just the perfect prop. They have put table piece, decorated as rajasthani man and women on a pencil is very beautiful and tempting.



The behaviour of the staff is very cordial and good. They are dressed up as Rajasthani male and female. Their dress is too colourful and enough for you to give the feel of Rajasthan

Now comes the food. I have tried their veg thali. I personally feel it’s the best Rajasthani food in town.  Here is What I had on that day

*Soup- Tamatar aaur Tulsi ka Shorba
*Salad- Moong Mogar Kachori
*Main course
Paneer Palak ki Bhurji
Ker Sangri
Gulab Jamun ki Sabzi
Rajasthani kadi
Dal Dhokali
Bhati/Ghee
Makkai Roti/ Do Pad Roti
Gatta Pulao
Malai Ghewar
Churma Ladoo
Non Veg Main Course
Murgh ka Swetha

I like each and every dish from the thali. Spinach and paneer ki bhurji is very tasty. Gulab jamun ki sabzi is super. Ker sangria gives the perfect feel of Rajasthan. Gatta pulao is just perfect. Bhati is also very tasty. Desserts are mind blowing. The best ghevar abd churma ladoo. But my personal favourite is moong kachori, ker sangria, gulab jamun  ki sabzi and malai ghevar. Master Chef Virendra Joshi, who came all the way of Rajasthan to prepare this meal, Also he came and described each and every dish he curated for the thali.

Gulab jamun ki sabzi and ker sangri is the most amazing and interesting dish I have had in that thali. Deep fried gulab jamuns are not with their best friend, sugar syrup. Rather in a sweet, tangy and makhani tomato gravy. That dish is perfect side dish for any pulao or biryani. It just tempted me to cook that dish. In my upcoming blogs I will share that recipe. Another dish is Ker sangri. It's basically a typical Rajasthani dish. It's a mix of 5 items which is called as panchkut in Rajasthan. It usually come in dry form. Chefs used to soak it before cooking. Chef Virendra Joshi made that dish some achari spices. It's literally a very tasty and tangy dish. Even this recipe will come in the upcoming blogs.




Price of the thali which we ate is 1099/- but at discount they are giving at 599/-. At night they are having dinner buffet which costs 1400/- but at discount they are giving 999/-.

Above all value for money, tasty and super delicious food, perfect ambience and most cordial staff. Worth visiting place..
