Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad proudly announces the grand opening of its newest dining destination, Bella Aroma. This innovative restaurant and lounge promise to transport guests on a culinary journey through the diverse and vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean. Drawing inspiration from the rich culinary traditions of Italy, Greece, Spain, France, Turkey, and Morocco, Bella Aroma marries authentic tastes with modern culinary creativity, offering a dining experience like no other in Ahmedabad.
The concept behind Bella Aroma was born from a unique collaboration between Chef Marco, a Mediterranean culinary expert, and the in-house chef at Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad. Their shared passion for Mediterranean cuisine sparked a friendship and led to the exchange of authentic recipes straight from the Mediterranean region. These recipes, now perfected by the culinary team, form the heart of Bella Aroma’s menu, bringing the true essence of Mediterranean flavors to the city.
“Bella Aroma is more than just a dining venue; it’s a celebration of Mediterranean culture and cuisine,” said Suraj Kumar Jha, General Manager of Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad. “Our goal is to create a space where guests can immerse themselves in the rich, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean while experiencing the warmth and hospitality that the region is famous for. Bella Aroma is designed to be a lively and welcoming spot for everyone, whether you’re enjoying a family meal, a gathering with friends, or a business lunch.”
Bella Aroma’s menu offers a carefully curated selection of dishes that highlight the diverse culinary heritage of the Mediterranean. Guests can indulge in a variety of offerings, including handmade Italian pasta, wood-fired pizzas, Syrian Tabbouleh with Quinoa, Moroccan Lamb Harira, Lebanese Fatayer, and decadent Baklava. The menu is designed to showcase the best of Mediterranean cuisine, with seasonal and promotional menus that introduce fresh ingredients and regional flavors, ensuring that every visit offers something new and exciting.
Executive Chef Daksh Sirwani expressed his excitement about the launch, stating, “Bella Aroma is a dream realized for those who love Mediterranean food. We’ve put our hearts into recreating the authentic flavors of the region, using the finest ingredients and traditional cooking techniques. Every dish on our menu tells a story, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience the rich culinary traditions that have been passed down through generations.”
The ambiance of Bella Aroma captures the charm of the Mediterranean with its bright lighting, semi-formal seating, and relaxed, lounge-like atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely meal or a cozy gathering, Bella Aroma provides the perfect setting. The interactive service and focus on comfort make every visit engaging and enjoyable, ensuring that Bella Aroma becomes a favorite dining spot in Ahmedabad.

Rajasthali Resort & Spa has unveiled an inspired culinary journey at Jharokha, its signature fine-dining restaurant, through a reimagined menu that pays tribute to Rajasthan’s royal culinary heritage. The refreshed offerings honour time-honoured flavours while welcoming a contemporary twist that caters to modern tastes.
