– Meghalaya Tourism, Seeti Movement and The Big Forkers bring the flavours, culinary traditions and cultural spirit of Meghalaya to One Golf Brewery on November 15
Hyderabad is set to experience the distinctive flavours and cultural heritage of Meghalaya as Meghalaya Fire & Feast Food Festival arrives in the city on November 15, 2026. Presented by Meghalaya Tourism in collaboration with Seeti Movement and The Big Forkers, the Meghalaya Fire & Feast festival will bring together chefs, traditional cooks, food enthusiasts, motorcycles and live entertainment for an evening celebrating food, culture and music. The festival will feature live bands and DJs, with music curated by Harley Rock Riders, adding a rock and roll dimension to the evening at One Golf Brewery, Hyderabad.
At the heart of the festival is an exciting culinary line-up featuring chefs with diverse backgrounds and cooking styles. Chef Christopher will bring his expertise in barbecue and slow-smoked meats, while Chef Vasquito will introduce his distinctive Goan grilling techniques. Joining them will be Chef Ahme, Chef Benny and MasterChef Nambie, each bringing their individual culinary perspectives to the festival. Together, the chefs will create an experience that celebrates the versatility of fire-based cooking while highlighting the distinctive flavours of Meghalaya.
Hyderabad to Host Meghalaya Fire & Feast Festival
One of the key highlights will be the participation of the Mylliem Culinary Team, comprising two traditional cooks who will travel from Meghalaya to showcase authentic Khasi food traditions. Their participation brings the focus back to the people and communities who have preserved these culinary practices across generations. Through their preparations, visitors will have an opportunity to experience traditional Khasi cuisine and understand the role of indigenous ingredients, local knowledge and community cooking in Meghalaya’s food culture.
Sharing the vision behind bringing Meghalaya’s culinary heritage to Hyderabad, Meghalaya Tourism said, “From our hills to the heart of Hyderabad, Meghalaya Fire & Feast brings the flavours, stories and spirit of our people to the table. We invite you to savour our culinary heritage, discover the traditions behind every dish and let this first taste inspire your next journey to Meghalaya.”

The festival also aims to highlight the larger significance of India’s regional food traditions and the communities that continue to preserve them.
“India’s food heritage is one of its richest cultural assets, yet many regional cuisines and traditional cooking practices remain largely undocumented and underrepresented. It is important to recognise the communities and traditional practitioners who have safeguarded these food traditions for generations, and give them a platform beyond their own regions. Through initiatives like these, we hope to create meaningful cultural exchanges that bring regional cuisines to new audiences, while preserving the stories, ingredients and identities that make them unique. Food is not just a part of our culture; it is one of the ways we keep it alive.”, added Sid Mewara, Founder, Seeti Movement and The Big Forkers.
Following the Hyderabad event, Meghalaya’s culinary culture and heritage experience will also travel to other cities across India, including Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Goa and Kolkata, bringing the flavours and traditions of the Northeast to wider audiences.
