Street Food Festival at Bengaluru Marriott Hotel Whitefield

A review of the Street Food Festival at Bengaluru Marriott Hotel, Whitefield! Sometime ago, I got an invite from Bengaluru Marriott Hotel Whitefield regarding their ongoing "Street Food Festival" which happens every Wednesday as part of the dinner buffet at M-Cafe and it was too exciting to say no.

The Unbeatable Pahadi Mutton and a new found love for cookbooks
