Last year, more than 90,000 people showed up at Gunnersbury Park for this subcontinental festival that celebrates the region’s food, music and culture. It’s a sprawling event, with all the colour and chaos of a Bollywood epic. And you can guarantee that you won’t go hungry – there are 25 different food outlets cooking up on-site.
