Sharing an Instagram photo of a lunch spread featuring chole bhature, Gandhi noted that 80 percent of Indians are non-vegetarian and praised Indian non-vegetarian cuisine alongside his sister's cooking. The summit dinner, attended by leaders from countries including China, Russia, South Africa, UAE, Malaysia, and Egypt, offered a vegetarian spread featuring paneer lababdar, millet pulao, and khumb galouti. Notable absentees at the high-profile dinner included Chinese President Xi Jinping and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed. Several Union ministers and chief ministers, including Yogi Adityanath, Devendra Fadnavis, and Himanta Biswa Sarma, were present at the Bharat Mandapam venue.
