Parsi Food Festival

For Indian food connoisseurs, our  Parsi Food Festival is an opportunity to savour delectable Parsi originals that are reminiscent of the golden Mumbai-Parsi times. 

This festival conducted by Marco Polo Hotel annually in the month of March is celebrated close to the celebration of the Iranian New Year or Nawrouz. The festival relives the dishes that were popular during the golden Mumbai time where many Parsi Indians would gather with families to dine together and partake the best dishes prepared with care and dedication.

From March 20 till 30th, The Bombay, the award winning Indian restaurant at Marco Polo will allow you to try these dishes during lunch and dinner. So come over with the whole family and take a culinary journey back in time to celebrate the golden times of an illustrious Indian era.

Jamva Chalov !

CELEBRATE MOTHERS DAY IN MARCO POLO HOTEL

“TO THE WORLD YOU ARE A MOTHER BUT TO YOUR FAMILY YOU ARE THE WORLD”

Mama, Mommy, Mom, Ma, Mum …whatever moniker you use, that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you call your mother is the same. The feeling of love, caring, safety, security, hugs, kisses, joy.  Nothing could ever replace our mother’s unconditional love. Since the time we were born, our mothers have selflessly toiled and took care of us making sure we had everything we needed.

Guilty enough? Gotcha…..this year on Mothers Day, show MUM your love by taking her out to dinner at any of Marco Polo Hotel’s award winning restaurants. Authentic Indian cuisine at The Bombay, maybe some Chinese at Chopstix, Tex-Mex at El Rancho or even Filipino fare at Kitakits Kafe & Klubb. Mothers Day is a very special day for us here at the Marco Polo Hotel. Every year, we make sure that all F&B outlets participate in our special offer for all revelers of this wonderful tradition.  Discount on Food orders is equal to the age of the mother so please be sure to let your mom bring her ID or any proof of her date of birth for the discount.

Whatever the reason, if it’s for your Mom, you can’t go wrong.
