Global Inspirations Served
Several establishments are embracing international culinary influences this March. Amadeo by Oberoi in Mumbai presents 'The Counter Collection,' a menu
inspired by Japanese, Italian, Chinese, and Indian cuisines, focusing on shared dining and ingredient-forward dishes crafted by Executive Chef Swanand Thipsay. The menu includes items like Kinoko Maki, Prawn Fagottini, Lamb Seekh Kebab, and Pistachio Kulfi, designed for communal enjoyment. The Grammar Room is also refreshing its offerings, balancing familiar comforts with novel flavors in its small plates and beverages. Dishes such as Focaccia & Pesto, XO Babka, Harissa Charred Pumpkin, and various dips with unique hummus variations are now available. Their expanded drink menu includes a wide array of zero-proof options and creative cocktails, alongside comforting warm beverages like Mulled Wine and Drunk Chai. Dessert lovers can indulge in S'mores Cheesecake or a flourless chocolate brownie made with jaggery.
Artisanal Breads & Baked Delights
The art of baking takes center stage with new offerings focusing on quality ingredients and traditional techniques. Foodstories is highlighting its bread collection, which includes a 10-year-old sourdough and a unique Croissant Tissue Bread. This creation is a delicate, croissant-style loaf meticulously hand-laminated with French butter and slow-fermented for six hours, resulting in flaky, buttery layers that melt in your mouth. This demonstrates a commitment to elevating bread from a staple to a gourmet experience. Meanwhile, Coffee Island has expanded its 'House Fresh Menu' to multiple outlets across Delhi NCR. This menu features freshly prepared café classics and global flavors, perfect for any meal of the day. Highlights include pastas like Spaghetti Aglio Olio, flavorful flatbreads, indulgent brioche melts, and desserts such as Basque-style cheesecake and Biscoff cream cheese jars. Select Gurugram locations also offer an exclusive all-day breakfast menu with options like French toast prepared with Nutella or berries, complemented by their signature coffee beverages and milkshakes.
Sweet Collaborations & Treats
A delightful partnership brings the iconic flavor of Nutella to a new range of treats. Tim Hortons India has collaborated with Nutella to launch the 'Tims x Nutella' collection, featuring beverages and baked goods infused with the beloved hazelnut cocoa spread. Patrons can enjoy drinks like the Hazelnut Dream Frappe and a special Mocha topped with Nutella. Sweet indulgences include a Chocolate Nutella Donut, filled with chocolate ganache and drizzled with Nutella glaze, as well as bite-sized Nutella Timbits. This limited-time offering is available at Tim Hortons cafés nationwide, providing a perfect option for a sweet break or an on-the-go treat.
