Fourteen popular Indian restaurants are taking part in the festival which will run every evening of the weekend from 6 to 10pm in the open parking space area of the Dana Mall in Sanabis facing the main road.

“We have chosen to create a lovely dining space outdoors where diners can safely enjoy the hot food and tangy tastes and at the same time follow the safety protocols of COVID and maintain hygiene,” said a spokesperson for Lulu.

“Indian food is among the most popular in the world and this will be Lulu’s tasty tribute to Bahrain’s buzzy Indian restaurant scene.”

The food festival coincides with some great offers in-store where the hypermarket has showcased a wide range of Indian food items from pickles and grains to ready-to-eat foods and also colourful ethnic Indian fashion items.

“Traditionally, Indian Republic Day is very popular with our shoppers and we are sure that they will enjoy the unique food festival and also the great deals that we have in store for them,” said Lulu Group Director Juzer Rupawala.
