Trèsind Mumbai is once again pushing the boundaries of Indian gastronomy with the launch of its new Degustation and Chef’s Tasting Menus, designed by Executive Chef Sarfaraz Ahmed. Known for marrying nostalgia with innovation, Trèsind’s latest offerings delve deep into the regional kitchens of India, presenting them through a lens of technique, restraint, and progressive flair.
The Degustation Menu is an elaborate 14+ course journey, available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian formats. The experience unfolds with unexpected flavour pairings—think Cacao Golgappa with Lemon Aguachile—and dishes that marry Western techniques with traditional Indian notes, like the Potato Gratin Wellington served with parmesan moilee and truffle. Highlights also include the Jackfruit Chettinad Masala with Gnocchi Vadi and the bold Maas Ka Soolah paired with Missi Roti and smoked curry.
Every dish is layered with regional memories, finishing with an inventive dessert course that features house favourites like Mulayari Paysam with black apple ice cream and a playful Paan Temaki.
For those looking for a quicker yet equally impactful experience, the Chef's Tasting Menu is a refined lunch-only option. Dishes like the Crab Cafreal with Ross Omelette, Tender Coconut and Ghee Roast with Curry Leaf Crunch, and Blue Cheese Tortellini with Nihari Curry showcase Trèsind’s signature bold approach to flavours. The Textures of Milk dessert with Yakult Ice Cream and Malai Burrata is a perfect endnote—unexpected yet nostalgic.
“These menus are rooted in memory and rediscovery,” says Chef Sarfaraz Ahmed. “We’ve leaned into lesser-used Indian ingredients and allowed them to shine. It’s familiar, yet entirely new.”
Trèsind continues to redefine modern Indian dining in the heart of BKC, offering not just meals, but stories told through flavour.

CYK Hospitalities, one of India's top F&B consulting firms, has teamed up with Emotive Ale to unveil Meerut’s newest hotspot in Civil Lines—blending global flavours with a hometown vibe. This launch is yet another successful addition to CYK’s growing portfolio of innovative dining spaces across India.
Founded by Karan Singh and Kishor Kumar, Emotive Ale isn’t just another restro-bar—it’s a bold movement that breaks away from the usual club culture and brings back soul, identity, and a community vibe to the city’s hospitality scene. Designed as a multifunctional space celebrating food, craft, and culture, Emotive Ale marks a fresh start for Meerut’s evolving taste buds.
Currently operating as a multi-cuisine restaurant and bar, Emotive Ale’s menu spans Indian, Continental, Chinese, Thai, sushi, and dim sum. Hand-rolled wood-fired pizzas made using eco-conscious methods are a highlight. The warm interiors and vibrant energy make it a perfect venue for both intimate catch-ups and grand celebrations.
The second phase of the concept will bring in an in-house microbrewery focused on seasonal craft beers, beer pairing nights, and interactive events—bringing a slice of urban craft beer culture to Meerut in CYK’s signature style.
From concept creation to operations, CYK Hospitalities led the project’s full development journey—handling menu curation, team hiring, SOP documentation, and detailed training. Their involvement was instrumental in shaping Emotive Ale into a destination that reflects both vision and precision.
"Emotive Ale is not just a restro-bar; it is a vibe," said Karan Singh, Director. Co-founder Kishor Kumar added, "CYK understood our vision from day one—they weren’t just consultants, they became co-dreamers."
Pulkit Arora, Director & Strategic Head at CYK Hospitalities, shared, "Our goal was to co-create a space that merges global palate with local roots. Emotive Ale sets the tone for what’s possible when passion meets process."
As Meerut embraces this stylish new venue, Emotive Ale sets a precedent for future homegrown hospitality ventures in tier-2 cities—proving that big-city quality and creativity can thrive anywhere with the right partnership and vision.
