Dubai poured into Delhi, and we happily tried every pour. 🍸✨

For Ukiyo Nights, the team from Sexy Fish Dubai took over the bar at Potions Cocktail Theatre, New Delhi, bringing four distinctive cocktails to the evening.

🍑 Golden Riviera — Pi***la Tequila, peach, citrus, oregano & chipotle.
Our star of the night. Bright, layered and such an interesting play of fruit, citrus and spice.

🌺 Rhubarb & Custard — Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin, rhubarb, passion fruit, vanilla & banana.
Beautifully presented and another favourite from the evening.

🌿 Grapefruit & Rosemary — Pi***la Tequila, grapefruit, rosemary & celery.
Fresh, aromatic and herbaceous.

🥃 Miso Thirsty — Virasat Indian Single Malt Wh**ky, miso, plum & sesame.
The more savoury, intriguing pour of the four.

And while Dubai worked its magic behind the bar, Delhi served up its signatures with dishes from Potions & Pendulo — Tellicherry Pepper Mutton Birria Taco, Cauliflower de Picante Taco, Thecha Guac Chicken, Reshampatti Chicken Quesadilla, Charred Broccoli & Jalapeño Queso, Awadhi Lamb Enchiladas, Salmon Konkan and Kashmiri Chicken Seekh Kebab.

Cocktails may have been the stars, but the evening was just as much about the setting — the rooftop, that gorgeous Delhi view, warm hospitality and the energy of Potions & Pendulo.

Dubai in the glass. Delhi in the distance.
Quite a Sunday night. ✨🥂

A first for Taj Surajkund Resort & Spa, Delhi NCR , and a beautiful one at that. 🌿

For the very first time, Taj Surajkund Resort & Spa, Delhi NCR brings the traditional Onam Sadhya to Paranda, celebrating Kerala’s cherished harvest festival through a feast served the traditional way, on a banana leaf.

From Avial, Olan, Kalan and Theeyal to Sambhar, Rasam, Pachadi and Payasam, the Sadhya brought together generations of Kerala flavours, textures and traditions.

Beyond the feast, it was the warmth around the table that stayed with me: festive florals, gracious hospitality, shared conversations and the joy of experiencing a tradition that brings everyone together. ✨

And if you’d like to be part of Taj Surajkund’s first Onam Sadhya:

🌿 Onam Sadhya at Paranda
📍 Taj Surajkund Resort & Spa, Delhi NCR
🗓️ 26th–28th August 2026
🕧 12:30–3:00 PM



Draped in tradition, stepping into the spirit of Onam. 🌿
Every petal, every detail, carrying a little piece of tradition.

Hospitality rooted in culture, with the loveliest festive touches.

And then came the sight every Sadhya lover waits for… 🍃

An afternoon filled with warmth and Kerala flavours.

Avial, Olan, Theeyal, Pachadi, Rasam, Payasam and so much more.

One banana leaf. A beautiful symphony of flavours, textures and traditions.

Some traditions are best understood one delicious bite at a time. 🤍

Good food brought us together; the little moments made it memorable

More of Asia. More to discover at HONK. ✨
An afternoon that unfolded through the art of Kintsugi, spirited conversations, thoughtfully crafted cocktails and a first taste of HONK’s new Pan-Asian menu...

At Honk, Pullman New Delhi Aerocity, an exclusive preview of Chef Muktan's new Pan-Asian menu unfolded, beginning with a hands-on Kintsugi workshop.

Therapeutic? Absolutely.
Easy? Not quite. 😄

There was something wonderfully grounding about slowing down, piecing something broken back together and allowing its imperfections to become part of its beauty.

From Japanese artistry, we moved to artistry on the plate. 🥢

Chef Muktan's new menu takes the Honk experience further across Asia, bringing together influences from China, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia through sushi, dim sum, comforting broths, bold mains, cocktails and a sweet finale.

And somewhere between the Kintsugi, conversations, beautiful table, new flavours and thoughtful personalised touches, a menu preview became an afternoon that was meant to be savoured rather than rushed.

Art. Flavour. Hospitality.
Quite a beautiful way to discover more of Asia at Honk. ✨

Onam, told through traditions, flavours and a Sadhya shared together. 🌿

At Qissa, Le Méridien Gurgaon, I experienced a beautiful preview of their Onam Sadhya, curated in collaboration with Chef Rekkha Raghavan and inspired by her Ammuma’s recipes and family traditions.

The afternoon began with a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony and unfolded around banana leaves, conversations and the slow arrival of a Sadhya, one preparation at a time.

From the colourful pookalam and festive rituals to the many flavours served on the banana leaf, this was a lovely glimpse into one of Kerala’s most cherished culinary traditions.

And now, you can experience it too. 🌿

📍 Le Méridien Gurgaon
📅 22nd–26th August 2026
🍃 Lunch & Dinner

If an authentic Onam Sadhya in Gurgaon / Delhi NCR has been on your festive food list, save these dates.




Flowers, lamps and festive details setting the mood.
Every corner carrying a little spirit of Onam. 🌿

A celebration of Kerala, beginning with the vibrant pookalam. 🌼

Beginning on an auspicious note with the traditional lamp lighting.
A celebration rooted in ritual, warmth and togetherness. 🪔

A special moment with Guest of Honour Vineeta Malik Ma’am.
Such a pleasure meeting a familiar face I’ve admired on screen. ✨

With Chef Rekha Raghavan Rekkha Raghavan , the heart behind this special Sadhya.
Bringing recipes, memories and Kerala traditions to the table. 🌿

Banana leaves laid, and the anticipation begins.
Because a traditional Sadhya is as much a ritual as it is a feast.

A table waiting to tell a delicious story.
Soon, every leaf would be filled with flavours of Kerala.

The simplicity of a banana leaf before the feast begins.
Ready for a beautiful procession of flavours and textures.

And then the banana leaf comes alive. 🌿
A medley of preparations, each with its own place and purpose.

The best part, finally tasting it all together.
A Sadhya that felt comforting, generous and full of memories. 💛

Because Sadhya tastes even better in good company.
Shared flavours, familiar faces and conversations around the table Rekkha Raghavan
