Guests at the wedding reception of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant were in for a mouth-watering surprise. The couple, from two of India’s wealthiest families, ensured their guests experienced a culinary journey like no other.
A social media reel by Kamiya Jani captured the essence of this gastronomic extravaganza, revealing that an entire floor was dedicated to food. According to her, "They served over 2500 vegetarian dishes from across India and beyond."
Renowned dietician Kanikka Malhotra described the event as a revolutionary dining experience. "The Ambani reception was a benchmark in luxury dining," she shared with Indian Express. "It offered a culinary adventure like no other."
The menu was a masterful blend of traditional and global cuisines. Guests enjoyed a spectrum of classic Indian dishes, each elevated with gourmet touches, reflecting regional flavours from North to South India. The international fare featured inventive fusion dishes, making it a truly global feast.
One of the standout features was the interactive food stations. Highlights included Banarasi chaats, which brought the essence of Varanasi to the venue, and a Kashmiri Nadru Yakhni that highlighted the rich heritage of Kashmir. The sweet note of a Banarasi paan stall provided a fragrant end to the meal.
Beyond the borders of India, the reception embraced Indonesian cuisine with a special coconut-based menu, offering guests a taste of new and exciting flavours.
