Food Festivals & Food Events in Hyderabad
1 events matching right now across Hyderabad — mostly food (1).
Food festivals and tasting events in Hyderabad are listed below and refreshed daily: food carnivals, regional cuisine promotions at hotels, chef pop-ups, supper clubs, baking and cocktail workshops and guided food walks. The city's food calendar has clear seasons. From October to February, open-air carnivals set up on stadium grounds, mall plazas and Necklace Road; the Grand Food Fest ran at Gachibowli Stadium from 9 to 11 October 2026 with live music alongside the stalls. Numaish at Nampally, from 1 January, is as much about its food courts as its shopping, and the Sankranti kite festival at Parade Grounds comes with a sweet festival of homemade sweets from across India. Ramzan is the high point. For that month the lanes around Charminar and the big haleem makers across the city serve from evening until late at night, and food walks sell out fast. Hotels in Banjara Hills, Begumpet and HITEC City run regional festivals through the year, and Lulu and other hypermarkets stage their own food weeks. Year-round, Irani cafés, biryani houses and the newer breweries of Jubilee Hills and Gachibowli keep the listings full.
