# Novotel Hyderabad Airport hosts Regimental Zaika food festival 2026-08-15T02:47:44+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Novotel Hyderabad Airport is hosting Regimental Zaika, a Sunday brunch festival based on culinary traditions associated with India’s military regiments. On August 16, the spread will bring together dishes from the Punjab, Madras, Rajasthan and Pahadi regiments. Each Sunday features a different regimental menu. A tasting of the Madras Regiment spread included masala-marinated fish, prawns and chicken, along with prawn curry, mutton masala, avial, steamed rice, Kothmir Rice and biryani. The New Indian Express found the curries flavourful, though the Kothmir Rice needed more seasoning. Executive Chef Ammana Raju said his military family background influenced the festival. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com Tags: Hyderabad, Novotel Hyderabad Airport, Punjab Regiment Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/novotel-hyderabad-airport-hosts-regimental-zaika-food-festival/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
