The Lalit Chandigarh Celebrates Kashmir’s Timeless Culinary Legacy With ‘Baluchi-Ae-Wazwan’ At Baluchi

Chandigarh, January 22, 2026 – The LaLiT Chandigarh is set to transport guests to the enchanting valleys of Kashmir with Baluchi-ae-Wazwan, an exclusive Kashmiri food festival at its signature Indian fine-dining restaurant, Baluchi, from 28th January to 10th February 2026.

Rooted in centuries-old traditions, Wazwan is not merely a cuisine but a ceremonial expression of Kashmiri culture, craftsmanship, and hospitality. Through Baluchi-ae-Wazwan, The LaLiT Chandigarh brings this revered culinary art form to the city, offering guests an opportunity to experience both traditional Wazwan preparations and a thoughtfully curated à-la-carte Kashmiri menu.

For this special festival, master chefs have been specially flown in from Kashmir, carrying with them generations of culinary knowledge and an uncompromising commitment to authenticity. The menu showcases iconic dishes such as Tabak Maaz, Rogan Josh, Rista, Gushtaba, Nadru ka Korma, Daniwal Korma, Lal Paneer, along with several other classic and signature preparations that reflect the depth, precision, and soul of Kashmiri cuisine.

Available for lunch and dinner, the festival promises a distinctive dining experience that balances robust flavours with delicate spicing—hallmarks of Kashmiri gastronomy. Adding to the evening ambience, dinner services will be elevated with live ghazals, creating an atmosphere where music, flavours, and tradition come together seamlessly.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Rohit Kapoor, General Manager, The LaLiT Chandigarh, said,

“At Baluchi, we have always celebrated the diversity and richness of India’s culinary heritage. With Baluchi-ae-Wazwan, our endeavour is to present an experience that is deeply authentic, culturally immersive, and true to the spirit of Kashmir. By bringing chefs directly from the valley and pairing their cuisine with soulful ghazals, we aim to offer our guests a journey that engages all the senses.”
