The Leela Gandhinagar is bringing the celebrated culinary legacy of Jamavar to Diya for an exclusive three-day dining showcase from 23 to 25 October 2026, celebrating the richness of Indian cuisine through signature dishes and curated menus.

Since its debut at The Leela Palace Bengaluru in 2001, Jamavar has built a reputation for presenting India's culinary heritage through regional recipes, refined techniques and an emphasis on craftsmanship. Over the years, the restaurant has received several industry recognitions, including features in Forbes' World's Top 10 Power Dining Spots in 2018 and multiple Times Food Awards for Indian fine dining.

For the showcase in Gandhinagar, Chef Jasbeer and the culinary team from The Leela Palace Bengaluru will bring Jamavar's culinary philosophy to Diya through specially curated vegetarian and non-vegetarian set menus, complemented by selected signature à la carte dishes.

The menu will feature some of Jamavar's well-known creations, including Dal-e-Jamavar, Khumb Ki Galawat, Bharwan Gucchi and Bharwan Gulab Jamun. These dishes highlight the restaurant's approach to Indian fine dining, combining carefully prepared ingredients, traditional culinary influences and attention to presentation.

The showcase offers guests an opportunity to experience Jamavar's signature preparations without travelling to its original Bengaluru address. By bringing together regional Indian flavours and contemporary fine-dining presentation, the experience aims to highlight the diversity and depth of India's gastronomic traditions.

Hosted within the elegant setting of Diya at The Leela Gandhinagar, the culinary showcase will pair the visiting team's expertise with the restaurant's distinctive ambience and hospitality. The limited-period experience is intended for diners seeking a special occasion centred on Indian cuisine and fine dining.

Through this collaboration, The Leela Gandhinagar continues to bring distinctive culinary experiences to its guests while celebrating the heritage and craftsmanship associated with one of The Leela's established dining brands.
