Food Festivals, Pop-ups & Tastings in Surat

Surat takes its food seriously enough that the calendar follows the kitchen. Ghari is eaten with bhusu on Chandi Padvo in late October; ponk, roasted tender sorghum, is sold from November to February; undhiyu is the dish of winter and of Uttarayan in mid-January; and Ramzan turns Rander's lanes into a night food market. Everyday classics need no event at all: locho and khaman for breakfast, bhajiya at Dumas Beach, dosa at Khaudra Gali. Organised food events are fewer, from café pop-ups and culinary workshops in Vesu and on the Dumas Road to the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce's Food & Beverages Expo at Sarsana on 23–25 January 2027. Everything is alcohol-free, and vegetarian and Jain options are the norm. This page lists food festivals, pop-ups and culinary workshops in Surat.
