Taftoon in BKC celebrates the diverse culinary traditions of the Indian subcontinent, drawing inspiration from the regions, routes and cultures that shaped them.

The restaurant’s approach often looks beyond familiar restaurant formats, focusing instead on the landscapes, journeys and circumstances that shaped how food evolved across the country. That same thinking forms the foundation of Pagdandi: a month-long food festival inspired by the lesser-seen food trails of Rajasthan.

Pagdandi is a path that never appears on maps. It forms slowly over time - through footsteps across Rajasthan’s desert landscapes - linking villages, hunting grounds and settlements long before formal roads came into existence. Along these narrow trails travelled traders, shepherds and communities, and with them travelled food. The dishes that took shape here were not born from abundance but from necessity: ingredients that could endure the desert climate, cooking methods that relied on fire and preservation, and meals that could sustain long journeys across unforgiving terrain.
