Vivanta Kathmandu has brought the flavors of Punjab to life with its food festival, Punjab Ki Rasoi, a tribute to the Punjabi festival of Lohri. The festival started on January 10th, has been so well received that it continues to delight food enthusiasts. Chef Sanjeev Kumar Suman and his team brought this event to life, offering more than just food—it’s an experience that takes you straight to Punjab.

Guests are welcomed with Shardai, a traditional Punjabi drink made with almonds, fennel seeds, vetiver, cardamom, saffron, milk, and sugar. This rich and aromatic drink sets the mood, giving you an instant sense of Punjabi hospitality.

The ambience at Punjab Ki Rasoi is equally vibrant. Punjabi songs play in the background, adding a festive touch, while the decor reflects the warmth and liveliness of Punjab.
