Smoke House Deli is launching a limited-period Oktoberfest-themed menu featuring beer buckets, sharing platters and table games at its outlets across Delhi NCR, Dehradun and Bengaluru.

The menu will be available from 19 September to 10 October 2026, with the restaurant chain positioning the offering as an option for group meals, after-work gatherings and weekend get-togethers.

The menu includes beer buckets in sizes of three, six and nine beers, along with a range of sharing platters combining snacks, grilled meats and vegetarian dishes.

Among the options is the Ultimate Munch Platter, which includes peri peri fries, marinated hash browns, jalapeño cheese poppers and honey mustard sauce.

The Smoke House Loaded Chicken Platter features fried chicken wings, chicken tenders and a cucumber salad.

For vegetarian diners, the Power Snack Platter includes grilled corn and quinoa cakes, dukkha-crusted corn ribs and cilantro cottage cheese, accompanied by sour cream and pickled vegetables.

The Mediterranean Mezze & Meat Platter combines hummus, pita and lavash with baba ganoush, marinated olives, edamame and slow-cooked meats.

Other options include a Tacos & Nacho Platter, featuring grilled tacos, chicken, fish and oyster mushrooms, and the Fire & Flavour Platter, which includes marinated chicken, lamb kebab and grilled chicken.

The restaurant has also added crosswords and interactive games to its table mats as part of the Oktoberfest theme.

“For us, Oktoberfest is really about creating a reason for people to get together, stay a little longer and enjoy the table,” said Divya Aggarwal, chief growth officer at Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality.

She said the menu was designed around sharing food, beer and informal socialising.

The seasonal offering is part of a wider trend among restaurants to use festival-themed menus and experiences to attract customers during limited periods, while encouraging longer group dining occasions.
