The festival
What is Kataka Food Fest?
Kataka Food Fest is a three-day, city-wide celebration of how Cuttack eats. Instead of one venue, the whole city becomes the venue — we've teamed up with the best restaurants, clubs and home kitchens in Kataka to host nine curated dining experiences over one weekend.
Each event is its own world: a 5 AM coffee rave, a hands-on pizza workshop, a cocktail masterclass, an intimate supper club, a nostalgia-driven feast. You pick the experiences you love, reserve your seat, and show up hungry. We handle the rest.
This is the first edition, hosted in Cuttack, with Bhubaneswar to follow.
The whole city is the table
