Despite Cebu’s evolving culinary scene, there’s still only a handful of restaurants that serve Indian fare, and an even smaller portion of that known to actually have good food. That makes Marco Polo Plaza Cebu‘s upcoming Culinary Journey – Khana: A Celebration of Indian Cuisine all the more exciting.
Did you know? Khana, in Hindi, means “food”
The five-star hotel celebrates the Festival of Lights and explores the rich cuisine of India with an explosion of flavors. Through the guidance of Judeline Murjani, Marco Polo’s world-class chefs will whip up an authentic Indian feast with dishes like chicken tandoori, lamb shish kebab, chili pakoora, and vegetable biryani, among others.
Judeline, the president of the Murjani Group of Companies and mother of Neesha, used to cook authentic Indian dishes in her kitchen and have them delivered to the offices and homes of Indian nationals or vegetarians. This passion to cook Indian food has been influenced by her husband – Devidas Murjani, who is the son of an Indian chef.
Khana promises to be an exciting culinary journey. So come up to Nivel Hills, celebrate the Festival of Lights and experience a wonderful week of authentic Indian dishes from October 25 to 30, only at Cebu City’s finest, Marco Polo Plaza.

We ask these head turners for their favorite places in Cebu, and what makes them beautiful. Check out what they have to say, and who knows? You might just end up bumping into them one of these days.

Cebu IT Park
Cebu IT Park’s ambience has been consistent for me, from when I was still a student to now, when I am already working. It still has something for me—good food, place to chill and sip coffee. Plus, IT is Cebu’s future too!

Basilica Minore del Sto. Nino (Photography by Snapoholic)
The Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño is a place that defines Cebu as strong and faithful. No one can miss this wonderful church because it is one of the city’s tourist spots.

Kawasan Falls
Badian is beautiful! Loved the thrills and adrenaline rush canyoneering downstream from Alegria to Kawasan Falls. The lush greens, crystal waters and gorgeous rock formations make me want to do it again.
– Anther Infante, Miss Cebu 2012

Mountain View Nature Park
Mountain View is a quiet place to enjoy within the city. This place compensates the lack of parks in Cebu and since it’s in the mountain, you get all the fresh air and serenity you need.
– Mia Ali, Miss Cebu 2011

Virgin Island, Bantayan
Virgin Island in Bantayan. Peaceful, pristine, and clear blue waters are just what us Cebuanos need when we want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
