If your idea of comfort food comes with a side of nostalgia and bold flavours, Bengaluru has something special on the menu this week. Bringing together tradition, storytelling and indulgence, Courtyard by Marriott Bengaluru Hebbal is hosting a unique culinary celebration that shines a spotlight on the timeless charm of Parsi cuisine.

Set against the breezy, panoramic backdrop of Nazaara, the hotel’s rooftop restaurant, “Jamva Chalo Ji” is more than just a food festival—it’s an immersive cultural experience. Known for its vibrant ambience and sweeping city views, Nazaara transforms into a haven of heritage flavours, inviting guests to savour a cuisine that beautifully balances sweet, tangy and savoury notes.

Curated by Chef Firozi, a passionate advocate of Parsi culinary traditions, the menu is a heartfelt ode to recipes passed down through generations. Each dish carries a sense of warmth and authenticity, from the wholesome Veg Dhansak to the indulgent Salli Gosht. Vegetarian diners can relish the rich Kaju Kesar Ma Paneer, delicately infused with saffron and cashews, while meat lovers can dig into the crispy, flavour-packed Chicken Farcha—an iconic Parsi favourite.

The experience doesn’t end there. Adding a celebratory flourish, the festival culminates in a specially curated Sunday brunch at Hebbal Cafe. This themed brunch brings together a colourful spread inspired by classic Parsi flavours, making it the perfect way to gather with friends and family over a leisurely afternoon of indulgence.

What makes this festival truly special is its ability to transport diners into the heart of Parsi homes—where food is not just nourishment, but an expression of love, culture and community. It’s a rare opportunity to explore a cuisine that remains deeply rooted in tradition yet universally appealing in taste.
