While Chicken Pulav has been included in the non-veg main course, Lemon Rice, Tomato Rice and Jeera Rice are a part of Vegetarian menu. Also, Tomota Pappu, Mudda Pappu, Potato Fry and a variety of pickles are included alongside.

Ariselu, Kobbai Bureli and Cashew Nut are the items in the list of sweets at the food festival.

Tourism Secretary, Mukesh Kumar Meena, said, “AP Tourism Authority is organising food festivals to popularise the local dishes. Guntur is a land of spices and chilli, so we have included a lot of pickles including Gongura. Andhra cuisine is known for its variety and tingy taste. We have already created a brand for Bamboo Chicken.”
