In a city known for its vibrant culinary landscape, Gaia is carving a niche by redefining vegetarian fine dining in South Bangalore. Spearheaded by Chef Shreyas Bhat, Gaia offers an affordable luxury experience where guests can indulge in 5-star quality food, exceptional service, and a stunning ambiance - all at wallet-friendly prices.
Named after the ancient Greek goddess of Earth, Gaia pays homage to the abundance of nature with a menu inspired by global vegetarian cuisine, showcasing the potential of plant-based ingredients. Chef Bhat’s vision is to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, creating dishes that honor authenticity while pushing the boundaries of creativity.
"Vegetarian dining is shaping the future of the industry. With the vegetarian market growing rapidly, we’re here to make our mark and set a new standard for future vegetarian concepts," Chef Bhat emphasizes.
Gaia’s Signature Creations:
Mushroom Galouti Pâté on Miso Garlic Toast: A tartine that reimagines the traditional lamb galouti with a rich, umami-packed mushroom pâté atop miso garlic toast.
Gaia’s Methi Mattar Malai: A twist on the classic, featuring green pea falafels in a creamy malai gravy infused with fresh fenugreek and garnished with pea shoots.
Jaipuri Bhindi Chaat, Palak Burrata, and Afghani Dal Pulao: Customer favorites that bring smiles long after the meal ends.
At Gaia, sustainability is a cornerstone. Ingredients are sourced within a 10-kilometer radius, supporting local farms and reducing environmental impact. The menu changes seasonally to celebrate the freshest produce, and a zero-waste philosophy transforms scraps into flavorful elements like tomato and potato skin salts.
"As chefs, we play a crucial role in promoting sustainability through our culinary practices, ensuring that we give back to the environment that provides us with such beautiful ingredients," says Chef Bhat.
Highlight 1: Chef's Creations
Psst! One of the most exciting ingredients I'm working with is the Kashmiri morel mushroom, featured in our signature Gucchi biryani. Another standout is the Tandoor-smoked Kerala Nendran banana, which balances the natural sweetness of the banana with a spicy raw mango marinade. Smoked in the tandoor and finished with fresh chimichurri, it’s served on a bed of roasted red bell pepper chutney—a dish perfected after multiple trials.
Highlight 2: Chef’s Inspiration
"There are many individuals I look up to for inspiration, but what truly inspires me is innovation itself. I firmly believe that 'learning' is the only constant, and it’s this belief that drives me forward. The relentless pursuit of change and the ability to adapt to the ever-evolving standards of the industry are what fuel my passion. For me, contributing to and shaping the culinary landscape is not just work. It’s catharsis."
Experience Gaia’s culinary brilliance and celebrate the artistry of vegetarian dining.

In conversation with Hospitalitynews, Sidh N.C., Co-Founder and Managing Director of QNA International, offers an exclusive look into how the 12th Annual MILT Congress is set to redefine the outbound travel narrative for India.
The event was held from 24 to 25 July 2025 at Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon, MILT 2025 isn’t just another luxury travel summit. As Sidh puts it, “We’ve redesigned the event to create a strategic ecosystem where India’s top corporate buyers engage directly with the world’s most visionary travel and hospitality brands.”
The conversations at MILT 2025 revealed a clear shift in what luxury means to indian outbound travelers. It is no longer confined to opulent hotels or grand venues. Today's high value indian traveller seeks depth, intention, and emotional connection in their journeys.
From Gen Z-driven aspirations to immersive spiritual getaways, the Indian traveller is evolving rapidly. In this compelling discussion, Sidh outlines how the outbound market is no longer about checklists and sightseeing, but emotional value, hyper-personalisation, and authentic storytelling.
Social media emerged as a major driver of outbound travel decisions, especially among millenials and Gen Z. MILT 2025 highlighted how platforms like Instagram and YouTube are influencing not just where people travel, but why. Travel content creators, Vloggers, and digial storytellers are the new age travel agents offering immersive glimpses into destinations that were once discovered through brochures
With nearly 40% of outbound trips now business related, MILT Congress is becoming the axis where leisure meets innovation, and where destinations across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East position themselves not just to attract but understand the Indian mindset
He dives into the growing influence of Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the rise of women-led travel, and the seamless merging of technology, sustainability, and cultural connection.
What’s coming next? A travel revolution driven by meaning, not just mobility—where every booking is a story and every destination a deeper experience.

In a world where real estate is often seen as a numbers game, Dinesh Yadav, Founder and Managing Director of Fine Acers, is rewriting the rules. In an exclusive feature with Hospitalitynews, Dinesh shares how his brand is pioneering a new kind of investment, one where returns meet relaxation, and assets double as family getaways, wellness retreats, and legacy spaces.
Through Fine Acers and its collection of thoughtfully designed resorts, Dinesh is turning the traditional real estate model on its head. What makes his vision stand out? It’s the ability to offer more than just appreciation, it’s about creating value that’s deeply personal and profoundly profitable.
What if your investment could host your next family celebration?
What if it could be both a peaceful retreat and an income generator?
In this engaging discussion, Dinesh walks us through the inspiration behind the branded resort investment model, an idea born from observing global trends and Indian investor behaviour. As he points out, second homes in India have long existed, but they often come with challenges. Fine Acers addresses these pain points by offering fully managed, premium properties that balance lifestyle aspirations with stable returns.
From the rise of wellness tourism to the increasing demand for senior-friendly and destination wedding-ready spaces, Fine Acers is tapping into what modern investors truly seek,purposeful ownership. Backed by the post-pandemic travel revival and changing mindsets, this is more than a trend; it’s the evolution of real estate itself.
It was a thought-provoking conversation with Dinesh Yadav, one that sheds light on how emotional connection and financial intelligence can coexist in modern investments.
