Banana Leaf Feast on the river by Babajis

Enjoy a unique foodie experience in a spectacular location for this year's Melbourne Food & Wine Festival as Babajis creates Warburton's very first banana leaf lunch along the banks of the Birrarung (Yarra River).

Here's your chance to engage with thousands of years of Southern Indian tradition and try dishes rarely found in Australia as Babajis presents a feast straight from the village kitchens of Southern India, with live Indian music and Yarra Valley wines completing the scene.

Be served a vibrant spread of 13 dishes from Kerala, including coconut based curries, daals, stir fries, sweet chutney, tangy pickles, crunchy pappadams and sweet payasam. Also showcasing a selection of meat & fish dishes, with the option to add fresh local trout fry to the feast. This is your chance to ditch the cutlery and embrace bare hands for the ultimate Kerala experience in a beautiful mountain setting.

Choose from two lunch time seatings, 12.30pm or 3.00pm.

Babajis is just a 90 minutes scenic drive from Melbourne CBD.
