Marking its entry into the capital, Coffee Sutra has partnered with NOD Punjabi Bagh in a move that redefines how beverages integrate into the dining experience. As part of the collaboration, Coffee Sutra takes over NOD’s entire beverage program as its official partner.

Founded by Dushyant Singh, the Jaipur-based brand brings its specialty coffee expertise to Delhi, marking its first major step beyond its home city. The partnership reflects a shared vision between both brands to create a dining experience where food and beverages complement each other seamlessly rather than exist as separate elements.

At NOD, Coffee Sutra curates a diverse beverage menu that extends beyond coffee. Guests can expect specialty brews made from ethically sourced, single-origin beans, alongside a selection of shakes, smoothies, and handcrafted mocktails. Each offering is designed to pair thoughtfully with the restaurant’s globally inspired cuisine, enhancing the overall guest experience.

Dushyant Singh shared that Delhi’s dynamic food culture makes it an ideal market for the brand’s expansion. He emphasized that every aspect—from sourcing beans to the final pour, is crafted with intent, ensuring a meaningful experience for guests.

Beyond menu creation, Coffee Sutra manages the complete beverage operations at NOD, including barista training, daily execution, and equipment maintenance. This end-to-end involvement highlights the brand’s focus on consistency and quality across all touchpoints.

With over 15 years of industry experience, Coffee Sutra has built strong sourcing networks with farmers in India and globally. The brand operates its own roastery and Coffee Lab in Jaipur, while also offering workshops, brewing masterclasses, and barista training. Its growing footprint includes five cafés in Jaipur and partnerships with over 40 establishments across India, including global hospitality names.

This collaboration signals a significant step in Coffee Sutra’s national expansion, bringing its curated and experience-led approach to Delhi’s evolving café and dining scene.

On the occasion of Earth Day, Garden Café highlights how sustainability can be seamlessly integrated into everyday operations. One of Kolkata’s oldest café brands, the establishment has built its identity not just around food and community, but also on responsible practices that reduce environmental impact.

Founded with the vision of creating an accessible and community-friendly space, the café has evolved over the years while staying rooted in its core values. Under the guidance of its founder, Sandip Nowlakha, the brand has been reimagined to reflect a more conscious way of operating without compromising on its inclusivity and legacy.

Today, with five outlets across Kolkata, including its newest in Newtown, Garden Café continues to expand while maintaining a balance between growth and responsibility. A notable example is its waste management approach, where food waste is systematically redirected to piggeries. This simple yet effective practice helps reduce landfill contribution while supporting a circular system.

Further reflecting its forward-thinking mindset is its in-house brand ‘Jiggis,’ which has introduced probiotic potato chips, an innovation seen in only a few companies globally. Alongside this, the café’s association with initiatives like Art of Living and participation in social awareness campaigns reinforce its commitment to mindful living.

Rather than relying on one-off initiatives, Garden Café focuses on consistency in everyday actions from responsible waste handling to conscious product innovation.

Speaking about the philosophy, Sandip Nowlakha shared that sustainability is not a separate effort but a part of daily decision-making, ensuring that growth does not come at the cost of responsibility.

As conversations around sustainability grow louder, Garden Café’s approach serves as a reminder that long-term impact is built through small, consistent choices made every day.

Luxury cruise line Cunard has announced a landmark moment in its history, with all four of its ships set to come together in Liverpool for the very first time. On May 16, 2028, Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, and Queen Anne will unite on the River Mersey, creating what is expected to be a truly memorable occasion for the brand and cruise enthusiasts around the world.

This will mark the first time Cunard’s full fleet assembles in one place. While Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary 2, and Queen Victoria previously gathered in 2015 to celebrate the company’s 175th anniversary, the 2028 event will be the first to include Queen Anne, making it a complete Four Queens moment in Cunard’s spiritual home.

Liverpool holds a special place in Cunard’s history, being the city where the company was founded in 1840. The upcoming gathering is expected to attract global attention, much like the 2015 event that drew over one million spectators to the waterfront. The city is preparing to celebrate the occasion in its own style, with a large-scale waterfront event as the ships arrive and depart together.

Adding to the significance, Queen Mary 2 will make her first-ever transatlantic crossing from New York directly to Liverpool, marking Cunard’s first eastbound arrival from New York to the city in over 61 years, since RMS Sylvania docked at Princes Landing Stage on November 18, 1966.

The Four Queens event will also be part of Liverpool’s wider celebrations, marking 20 years since the city was named European Capital of Culture. A year-long lineup of music, maritime, and sporting events is planned, with Cunard’s return expected to be one of the highlights.

Guests will be able to experience this special moment through dedicated Four Queens Celebration voyages. Queen Mary 2 will sail from New York to Liverpool before continuing her transatlantic and other itineraries. Queen Anne will begin her season in Scandinavia and Northern Europe, including an overnight stay in Liverpool. Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria will also join the gathering, arriving as part of their respective voyages across Europe and the British Isles.

Katie McAlister, President of Cunard, said:

"Bringing our four Queens together on the Mersey for the first time will be a rare and incredibly special moment for Cunard. Liverpool is where our story began, and returning with the full fleet is a powerful celebration of that bond. It will be an unforgettable day for our guests, for the city, and for everyone who comes together to enjoy the spectacle from the shore."

Liam Robinson, Leader of Liverpool City Council, said:

"Welcoming the four Cunard Queens at the same time will be an extraordinary occasion for our city, our residents, and our visitors. We are incredibly proud of our rich maritime heritage, and this promises to be a really special moment here in Liverpool, Cunard's spiritual home.

2028 is shaping up to be a very exciting year for us - with the Four Queens' visit, hosting Euro 2028 matches, and the 20th anniversary of Liverpool Capital of Culture, we've got a brilliant program of events and activities in store.

"We are looking forward to bringing people together once again and helping to deliver an experience that will be remembered long after the ships have sailed."

Further details about Cunard’s 2028 voyages and booking timelines are expected to be announced soon.
