Food Festival

There has a growing number of food festival happening in Bangalore.  Each of them has different themes like – Street Food, Vegetarian Food, Food for festivals, Dessert, North Indian Food, South Indian Food, and/or general food festival.  Best thing according to me would be see multiple brands at one place.  Instead of having to drive, one can be casual and enjoy good food from favourite brand.

Salt Rock is one of the most unique food festival, combining Food, Entertainment & Education.

F&B Brands

Variety of brands are participating in the brands making a mixed bad.  Some of them are very established, many that are upcoming and few that are slowly making a mark.  There are also brands that started small at home and have established their names, become commercial.
