Participating restaurants were quite popular with visitors to Al Suwaidi Park, who were keen to taste the delicious Indian dishes offered by specialized restaurants, including Pepper Tree, which served biryani and masala in a way that visitors never tasted before.
The bazaar section in the Indian Week contained outlets for selling many products, including perfumes and leather coats. Many visitors were keen to wear traditional Indian dress.
