Mumbai, May 22 : Travel Food Services Ltd operator of Travel QSR outlets and lounges in India, has announced the launch of Swad-E-Watan, a culinary festival celebrating the extraordinary diversity of India's regional food heritage. Scheduled from 20th to 31st May 2026 across its Travel Club Lounges in Kolkata, Chennai, and Dabolim (Goa), the festival transforms airport stopovers into an immersive culinary journey, bringing together authentic flavours, traditions, and stories from across the country, while reminding travellers that the true taste of India journeys with them wherever they go.
Inspired by the idea that food is an authentic reflection of a region’s culture and heritage, Swad-E-Watan, meaning taste of the homeland, celebrates the emotional connection people have with India’s diverse culinary traditions. Through this curated pop-up festival, TFS brings together authentic recipes from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from the coastal kitchens of Kerala and Goa to the royal dastarkhan of Rajasthan and Lucknow, offering travellers an experience of India's culinary mosaic within the airport.
Beyond the dining table, Swad-E-Watan offers live cooking masterclasses, a Taste & Tell spice quiz, chef storytelling sessions, and a signature mixology experience pairing Indian-inspired beverages with regional flavours. Lounges will be richly themed with Indian motifs, terracotta art, and artisanal décor which will be crafted as visually immersive cultural hotspots for social sharing.
With Swad-E-Watan, Travel Food Services continues to strengthen its vision of redefining airport hospitality by turning lounges into cultural destinations, where every journey becomes an opportunity to experience the warmth and richness of India.
