RASANAI presents the Charminar Street Food Festival – A Smoky, Spice-Laden Celebration of Hyderabad’s Old City

Rasanai invites guests to experience the vibrant flavours, aromas, and culinary nostalgia of Hyderabad’s historic Old City with the Charminar Street Food Festival — a specially curated showcase of bold bites, smoky gravies, festive indulgences, and heritage-inspired street food traditions from May 14th till May 31st 2026 at Chennai, Coimbatore and Kochi.

Inspired by the bustling food trails surrounding the iconic Charminar, the festival recreates the unmistakable energy of Hyderabad’s late-night dining culture, where Irani cafés, Ramzan bazaars, and generations-old recipes come alive through food that is rich, layered, and deeply memorable.

The Charminar Street Food Festival draws from the city’s remarkable culinary evolution shaped by Arabic, Persian, Deccani, and Telugu influences. Designed as an immersive dining experience, the festival brings together the warmth of traditional Hyderabadi hospitality with the polish of a contemporary culinary showcase.

Guests can look forward to a menu filled with signature dishes that demand attention from the very first bite. Highlights include the robust and flavour-packed Mutton Shami Vada, the inventive Haleem Phyllos, the fragrant Chitti Muthiyalu Royyala Pulao, the fiery Loose Chicken, and the rustic spice-forward Mokkajonna Vellulli Kaaram.

The dessert selection continues the celebration with indulgent offerings such as Shahdood Malai, traditional Sheermal, and the distinctive Puttagodugu Palakura Igru, each reflecting the richness and diversity of Hyderabad’s culinary storytelling.

Charminar Street Food Festival celebrates the romance of Hyderabad’s Old City through a menu that is smoky, festive, nostalgic, and instantly craveable. It brings together the soul of Charminar’s food lanes and the polish of a curated culinary event, allowing guests to taste heritage in a format that feels vibrant, social, and current.
