Here's Your Ultimate Guide To Every Food & Drink Pop-Up At The Homegrown Festival 2025

Disha Bijolia

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!

Subko

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. And it doesn’t stop there; Subko’s bakehouse whips up artisanal bread and pastries using rustic micro-batch techniques as thoughtfully crafted as their brews.

Luv Restaurant

Luv Restaurant is all about fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and dishes that pack a punch. Expect handmade pasta tossed in rich, flavorful sauces, melt-in-your-mouth lamb tacos slow-cooked in red wine for eight hours, and their signature kokum prawns with a tangy kick. And if you’re into dumplings, their pan-seared gyoza with a crispy tuile and spicy chutney is a must-try.

Shuwa Bombay

Bringing the flavours of Oman to India, Shuwa Bombay is serving up meaty, mighty, Muscati goodness. Their signature slow-cooked, spice-laden Shuwa wraps are a must-try, packed with tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat. For something heavier, go for the Qabuli Pilaf and treat yourself to Qatayef, Omani-style donuts that are pure indulgence.

Hoppumm

Known for their legendary Hoppers, crisp-edged, bowl-shaped pancakes, Hoppumm is a window to the taste of Sri Lanka.

If you’re feeling adventurous, don’t miss the Lankan Stewed Chilli Chicken or the rich, coconut-laden Ceylon Chicken Curry.
