The Homegrown Festival is right around the corner. The first-of-its-kind Indian culture and lifestyle festival will weave Homegrown and South Asian talent to reimagine contemporary Indian culture and identity. At the intersection of music, art+design, fashion, film, street culture, food & beverages, exhibitions, conversations, workshops, and more, the festival will span over two days at Richardson & Cruddas in Byculla.
But beyond the creative playground, a feast awaits. From cutting-edge culinary experiments to comforting flavours with a twist, the festival’s food and drink pop-ups promise to be an experience of their own. Whether you're craving bold fusion bites, artisanal brews, or something entirely unexpected, here’s what to expect on your plate (and in your glass) at The Homegrown Festival!
If you’re a coffee lover with a taste for the extraordinary, Subko is the spot for you. Sourcing beans from the lush estates of Karnataka to the hidden gems of Nagaland, they’re all about celebrating Asian specialty coffee with top-tier quality.
