The Royal Rajpootana Feast: An Ode to Mewar, Marwar & Beyond

The clink of silver thalis, the heady aroma of slow-cooked spices, and the grandeur of Rajasthan’s royal kitchens come alive at K3 – New Delhi’s Food Theatre at JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity. From April 10th to 19th, The Royal Rajpootana Feast celebration at K3, hotel's famed multi-cuisine dining destination, will unravel the culinary history of Rajasthan, where meals were once dictated by battle schedules, desert landscapes, and an unshakable reverence for the art of feasting. At the helm of this regal endeavor is Chef Kunwar Hemendra Singh, a custodian of Rajpoot culinary traditions, who doesn’t just serve food—he serves lineage, legacy, and a taste of what once nourished kings.

A special Royal Brunch on April 13th will further elevate the experience with live folk performances, a midday ode to Rajasthan’s most opulent flavours.

A Chef’s Inheritance: Kunwar Hemendra Singh’s Culinary Compass

Hailing from Bhainsrorgarh, a fortress cradled by the Chambal River, Chef Kunwar Hemendra Singh is not just a chef—he is a storyteller. His hands carry the wisdom of kitchens where precision was sacred and hospitality was a sovereign duty. A self-taught culinary artist, he has carved his niche in the rarefied space of royal cuisine, reviving recipes that once graced the tables of warrior kings and noble families.

His food is not about nostalgia—it is about continuity. The Rajpoot kitchens of Mewar and Marwar have never been about indulgence alone; they tell of ingenuity, where the scarcity of the desert met the refinement of royal tastes. “Rajpoot cuisine is a legacy of stories, traditions, and impeccable craftsmanship.” says Chef Hemendra. “At The Royal Rajpootana Feast, we will not just serve food—we will bring history to life, one dish at a time.”

A Menu Steeped in History: The Flavours of Mewar, Marwar & Beyond

The Royal Rajpootana culinary showcase is not a monolithic Rajasthani spread—it is a curated anthology of flavours from Mewar, Marwar, and the lesser-told culinary influences of Malwa, a region that once intertwined its gastronomic traditions with Rajasthan’s warrior clans. The menu unfolds like a historical map—each dish a landmark, each flavor a story. 

Event Highlights:

• Live Cooking Stations – Watch age-old techniques come alive: the gentle roasting, the careful tempering, the mastery of deep, slow-infused flavours.

• Exclusive Chef Interactions – Engage with Chef Hemendra as he shares the philosophy behind each preparation.

• Handpicked Ingredients – From stone-ground masalas to artisanal grains, authenticity reigns supreme.

• An Immersive Dining Space – Think toran-draped entrances, flickering mashaals, and the rhythmic echoes of folk music.

Few places in the capital match K3’s ability to transform culinary events into immersive experiences. The Royal Rajpootana Promotion is not just a meal—it is a passage through time. Step into a world where flavours hold the weight of history, and every bite tells a story of valour, heritage, and exquisite craftsmanship.
