ITC Hotels proudly announces the opening of the third outlet of its iconic restaurant, Avartana, at ITC Maratha, Mumbai, marking a significant expansion of its culinary repertoire to the western part of India. Following the resounding success of its predecessors at ITC Grand Chola and ITC Royal Bengal, Avartana continues to redefine Southern Indian cuisine with its innovative and pioneering approach, now bringing its legacy to the vibrant city of Mumbai
Avartana has not only shone brightly among Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2023 but has also established itself as a beacon of culinary innovation, showcasing the depth and diversity of Indian ingredients and culinary techniques. Anil Chadha, Chief Executive of ITC Hotels, shares the excitement and vision behind the brand, "Brand Avartana, just seven years young, has carved a niche for itself by demonstrating the strength and prowess of Indian ingredients and culinary techniques to the world. We endeavor to share the reimagined renditions of Avartana with diners across various cities, crafting moments that resonate long after the dining experience."
At its core, Avartana is an ode to the rich tapestry of Southern Indian culinary traditions, seamlessly blending these with modern interpretations to create an unparalleled dining experience. The restaurant's name, derived from the Sanskrit word for rhythm, mysticism, and magic, perfectly encapsulates the essence of its offerings - magical dishes that are a modernist take on traditional flavors, each telling a unique story.
The menu at Avartana is a testament to the culinary team's dedication to exploring and innovating within the realm of Southern Indian cuisine. Ingredients such as Ghee from Kerala, Uthukuli Butter and Mango Ginger from Andhra Pradesh, Sago and Jaggery from Chennai, Mochai Beans from Tamil Nadu, and Tamarind from Telangana are deconstructed and reimagined into dishes that engage the senses and captivate the diner's imagination.
Among the standout offerings are the Spiced Aubergine and Sago with a Byadagi chilli emulsion, Sago Yogurt reinterpreting the classic Bagala Bath with an exotic dried berry tamarind sauce, and the visually striking Fennel Pannacotta egg dessert, presented in a bird's nest with a mini hammer for an interactive dining experience.
Avartana at ITC Maratha promises to be a culinary destination where magical flavors meet twenty-first-century technology, reinventing haute cuisine fine dining into an evolved art form. As it opens its doors in Mumbai, Avartana is set to offer diners a unique journey through the vibrant and diverse mosaics of Southern Indian cuisine, creating unforgettable moments that resonate with the magic of dining at its finest.

A globally loved dining experience has arrived in the city. Starting 20th February 2026, Le Petit Chef, the world’s smallest chef and biggest dinner show will be hosted at Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park.
After travelling to over 70 countries including Dubai, London, Paris, and Singapore, this 3D dining spectacle now makes its South India debut in Bengaluru.
Le Petit Chef turns the dining table into a live stage using advanced 3D projection mapping technology. With specially installed projection systems at the hotel, a tiny 6-inch animated chef appears right on the guest’s plate. The miniature chef sets off on a playful journey, attempting to cook gourmet dishes with entertaining twists and fun moments in between courses.
As the animated sequence ends, the real culinary team presents the actual dish, styled closely to what guests just saw on their plates. This smooth shift from animation to real food makes the experience both engaging and memorable.
The pre-selected menu features dishes such as Hand-Crafted Ratatouille Cannelloni, Grilled Roman Artichoke with Burrata, Lemon Persillade Atlantic King Prawn, and Coconut and Jaggery Crème Brûlée.
Guests can choose from three menu options Elite, Grand, and Kids, each available in vegetarian and non-vegetarian variants. The experience is designed for couples, families, children’s birthday celebrations, corporate gatherings, and special occasions.
Le Petit Chef will run at Hilton Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park from 20th February 2026 onwards. Due to limited seating, advance reservations are strongly recommended. For show timings and bookings, guests can call +91-6361104821 or email Blrgs_rnl@hilton.com
Le Petit Chef was created in 2015 by the Belgian art collective Skullmapping, founded by artists Filip Sterckx and Antoon Verbeeck. The concept has since become a global dining attraction, blending art and technology in a unique way.
