    Congratulations KWAR Team for Organising a successful Food Festival.Overall a good event, could have been better with little more Orgainised Cultural event and little more bigger space for the crowd movement. Good concept of keeping entry fee low and giving public to pay and choose the food they like. I think this hsould be the way for KWAR in future events as well. Organise a private Restaurant to provide food and public can Pay and choose what they like!! This is the best way to avoid food related criticism if any!! The competition was of highest standard and all of the participants deserved prizes.KWAR need to attract more families to participate in future. KWAR president has done a good job in keeping the Unity among members which is reflected in the success of this Event.

    All the best for future events
