Amrut Distilleries, renowned for its Indian single malt whisky, celebrates its 75th year by unveiling two limited edition whiskies exclusively for Gurgaon. The launch event, graced by whisky connoisseur Jim Murray and Rakshit Jagdale, MD of Amrut Distilleries, marked the debut of Amrut Bagheera and Amrut Portonova in the Indian market.
Inspired by the mystical Black Panthers of Kabini River in Mysore, Amrut Bagheera embodies exclusivity.

Crafted from Indian barley grown at the foot of the Himalayas, Amrut Portonova reflects India's rich heritage. Mashed and distilled in small batches, Portonova matures in oak barrels in Bangalore's tropical climate. Offering notes of toffee sweetness, tropical spices, coconut, and cracked black pepper, it promises a rich and complex flavor profile.
Rakshit Jagdale, MD of Amrut Distilleries, shares his vision of offering unique experiences to whisky lovers. Limited to 300 bottles in Haryana, these whiskies are prized for their premium quality and versatility. Bagheera, priced at ₹23,000, and Portonova, approximately ₹15,000, are set to redefine whisky appreciation in India.
Jim Murray commends Amrut's commitment to quality and innovation, emphasizing their exceptional craftsmanship. He acknowledges the unparalleled dedication of the team, foreseeing immense potential in Bagheera and Portonova.
Amrut aims to expand its reach to 100 countries by 2030, introducing special edition releases exclusively for the Indian market. With strategic partnerships and a focus on quality, Amrut continues to elevate the single malt whisky experience.
Gurmeet S. Johal, MD of GD Group, expresses confidence in Amrut's quality and passion. Collaborating with Amrut, GD Group plans to introduce limited editions annually, ensuring a diverse range of expressions for whisky aficionados.
Amrut's commitment to innovation and quality ensures a promising future for Indian single malt whisky. With each expression crafted to perfection, Amrut invites whisky enthusiasts on a journey of discovery and delight.

Anardana has opened its 14th and largest outlet yet in Noida's Sector 50, introducing an upgraded menu and a contemporary Indian dining environment designed to reflect the brand's next phase of growth.
The new flagship builds on Anardana's presence in Noida, following the response to its Sector 129 outlet. The brand has established a growing following across North India with its modern Indian cuisine, bold flavours and vibrant dining environments.
With the Sector 50 opening, Anardana brings together familiar favourites and new culinary creations in a significantly larger space designed to function as a destination for dining and celebratio ns.
Commenting on the launch, Shruti Malik, Founder, Anardana, said, "The launch of our Noida Sector 50 restaurant is a defining milestone for Anardana as we open our 14th outlet and our largest flagship destination yet. Noida has always been an important market for us, and the love we've received at our Sector 129 outlet gave us the confidence to deepen our presence in the city."
She added that the new flagship was designed to offer more than a restaurant, combining elevated design, warm service and a culinary experience that remains rooted in Indian traditions while embracing contemporary influences.
The Sector 50 outlet adopts a contemporary Indian design language built around fluid geometry, layered materials and sculptural elements.
A double-height central volume forms the heart of the restaurant, with sculptural domes, suspended installations and cascading greenery creating a strong vertical visual identity. Integrated lighting adds depth to the space, while the interplay of solid and open areas creates a balance between intimate dining zones and larger social spaces.
The material palette incorporates terracotta flooring, timber battens, natural stone, textured finishes and handcrafted lattice screens, bringing warmth and tactile character to the interiors.
A dramatic double-height bar acts as the central visual anchor, while curvilinear seating, raised platforms and carefully framed sightlines create distinct dining zones within the larger space.
The design aims to celebrate Indian craftsmanship through a contemporary interpretation rather than relying heavily on traditional ornamentation.
The new outlet also introduces an upgraded menu featuring modern interpretations of Indian flavours alongside familiar Anardana favourites.
Vegetarian highlights include In Pulled Jackfruit Cannelloni, featuring ghee-roasted pulled jackfruit rolled into cannelloni and baked in saffron cream sauce.
Among the non-vegetarian offerings are Butter Chicken Gujiya, featuring crispy gujiyas filled with smoky tandoori chicken and served with Parmesan and makhani sauce, and Malai Chicken Roulade, paired with mashed potatoes and smoked red bell pepper sauce.
Other new dishes include Achari Chicken Breast, mushroom-stuffed chicken finished with a pickle brush and mushroom pepper sauce; Lamb Ragout Sambusa; and Mutton Goli Kebab, served with gilafi kulcha and walnut, radish and eggplant chutneys.
For dessert, the Rasgulla Tiramisu combines rasgulla soaked in coffee and rum with mascarpone and cacao, offering an Indo-Italian interpretation of the classic dessert.
The brand said the expanded menu is intended to build on Anardana's approach to contemporary Indian cuisine while introducing guests to new combinations and presentations.
The Sector 50 outlet represents an important milestone for Anardana as the brand continues to expand its presence across North India. Founded in 2018, Anardana has grown its restaurant portfolio with a focus on modern Indian cuisine, hospitality and experiential dining.
With its largest outlet yet, the brand aims to strengthen its position in Noida's competitive dining landscape while creating a larger destination for everyday meals, celebrations and social occasions.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Priyank Singhania, Franchise Partner, Mamagoto Raipur & Director, said:
"Raipur has witnessed tremendous growth over the past few years and is rapidly emerging as a vibrant lifestyle destination. We felt the city was ready for a nationally celebrated brand that offers not just great food, but an experience. Mamagoto has always stood for bold flavours, great energy, and memorable hospitality, and we are excited to introduce that experience to Raipur."

Baardos has expanded its presence in Delhi with the opening of Baardos Qutub, its second venue in the capital and its most ambitious concept to date. Located in Qutub, one of Delhi's prominent dining and nightlife destinations, the new venue brings together food, cocktails, music and immersive entertainment.
Following the success of Baardos La Citta, Baardos Qutub is designed as an all-evening destination where dining transitions into a late-night experience. The concept combines a diverse culinary offering with an extensive cocktail programme and curated music experiences.
The menu brings together Pan Asian, Italian, Modern Indian, European and Continental influences, with an emphasis on bold flavours, generous portions and dishes designed for sharing. The cocktail programme complements the food-led experience, encouraging guests to settle in and spend the evening at the venue.
Nightlife programming forms a key part of the Baardos Qutub experience. Mystics of Qutub presents Sufi evenings every Wednesday, while DOS Fridays focuses on electronic music and a curated artist line-up. Saturdays feature Again Again!, while BOOM ROOM offers techno-led nights for electronic music enthusiasts.
Speaking about the launch, Aman Garg, Founder, Baardos, said Baardos Qutub was created as more than another venue, with the aim of building a destination that reflects the evolving nightlife culture of Delhi.

The opening marks the next phase of Baardos' expansion strategy. The brand plans to launch new venues in Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chandigarh and Noida by the end of 2026, extending its presence beyond Delhi.
While each new location will follow the core Baardos philosophy, the brand plans to adapt its venues to the culture, character and energy of their respective cities.
