Pahadi, Licensed Casual Indian Restaurant at Majestic Premier Hotel, Hosts Winter Carnival Celebrating Flavours of India’s Northeastern Hills
If winter had a favourite hangout spot, this would be it. From the Himalayan highlands to the lush valleys of the Northeast, Pahadi, the hills-
And this season, it all comes alive at the Pahadi North East Winter Carnival, a terrace takeover that’s part food festival, part mountain escape, and fully your next go-to winter vibe, running all winter long.
Twinkling lights, sophisticated decor, and poolside views set the scene, while live music and the intoxicating aroma of sizzling grills and spices turn every visit into a full-sensory experience. It’s more than dining; it’s a feast for the eyes, the palate, and the soul – Instagram-worthy, indulgent, and unforgettable.
And the cherry on top? With prices starting at just AED 30, this festival is delightfully accessible.
