This January, Mumbai restaurant Ishaara is hosting Heritage and Roots, a Tribal Festival, a limited-time food and beverage pop-up starting January 22.
Conceived as a cultural exchange rather than a reinterpretation, the tribal food festival brings members of India’s indigenous tribal communities to cook,
present and share their own festival food traditions with an urban audience.
