Food lovers and cultural explorers alike are in for a deliciously fiery treat as The Hebbal Café at Courtyard by Marriott Bengaluru Hebbal unveils a culinary celebration like no other—the Rayalaseema Food Festival, running from April 7th to 16th. This vibrant dinner buffet experience offers guests a rare opportunity to savor the bold and deeply traditional flavors of the Rayalaseema region in Andhra Pradesh, a land known for its fearless use of spices, rustic cooking styles, and soul-satisfying dishes.
Curated with passion and authenticity by guest Chef Sravani and Executive Chef Rajeev, the festival is a love letter to Rayalaseema’s rich culinary heritage. The thoughtfully designed menu is a harmonious blend of hearty, spicy, and aromatic dishes that speak to the very soul of the region. Every bite tells a story—of home kitchens, traditional firewood cooking, and recipes passed down through generations.
A Flavourful Journey Through Rayalaseema
Highlights of the menu include:
Ragi Sangati with Kodi Koora: A wholesome and nourishing millet-based dish served with tender, spicy chicken curry—a staple comfort food in Rayalaseema households.
Pesarattu: A savory green gram crepe, crispy on the outside and packed with flavor, perfect for those seeking a lighter bite.
Kadapa Kunda Biryani: Slow-cooked and aromatic, this regional twist on biryani boasts unique layers of flavor and texture, offering a melt-in-the-mouth experience.
Kodi Vepudu: For spice enthusiasts, this fiery chicken fry is a must-try, embodying the punchy heat and rustic charm the region is famed for.
Each dish on the buffet is a careful nod to Rayalaseema’s signature spice palette—bold, earthy, and unapologetically intense. The chefs have masterfully balanced tradition with contemporary finesse, ensuring that diners experience not just the taste but also the cultural depth of each preparation.
Where Culture Meets Culinary Art
