The Story So Far

Meet the Mastermind
Behind Grand Food Fest

Grand Food Fest (also known by its full name, Grand Food and Entertainment Festival) is South India’s largest food, lifestyle and entertainment festival. Every year from 9 to 11 October, gates open at Gachibowli Stadium, Hyderabad from 3 PM to 1 AM, bringing together more than 100 food brands, 50+ lifestyle brands, and cuisines from all 36 states and union territories of India.

grandfoodfest.com is the only official website for Grand Food Fest. For tickets, vendor registration and updates, this is the one place to trust.

Grand Food Fest is the brainchild of Habeeb Ali, a young founder who built it under Hanfim Foods LLP, the parent company behind Ministry of Cheese. Incubated at EdVenture Park, what started as one founder’s idea has grown into one of Hyderabad’s biggest community-led celebrations of food and culture.
