Monkey Bar, ever a connoisseur of unconventional culinary delights, unveils its latest masterpiece, “Tales of India.” A menu that doesn’t just satisfy your taste buds but takes them on an evocative journey through the diverse flavors of India. With the innovative magic of Group Head Mixologist, Harish Chhimwal, and the culinary artistry of Corporate Chef, Irfan Pabaney, and Chef Sumit Choudhary, the “Tales of India” is not a meal but an experience, a story, a celebration of the subcontinent’s culinary treasure.
Cocktails with a Twist of Tradition
Each cocktail is a creative explosion of traditional and contemporary, where Indian classics meet innovative mixology. Imagine sipping on a ‘Pom Pom Cola’ with the rich, beloved flavor of Old Monk rum, tickled with pomegranate cordial and a zest of lime, or the ‘Rum Cha,’ a nostalgic nod to the iconic cutting chai, swirled with the warmth of homemade masala tea cordial and the bold embrace of rum.
A Symphony of Flavours
Each drink is a narrative, each sip, a paragraph of a tale that unwinds the rich tapestry of Indian flavors. The menu, a brainchild of exceptional innovation, brings together Parsi cola and masala tea, murabba and panipuri, in a dance of flavors so harmonious, it's poetic. Every ingredient, sourced from the varied terrains of India, adds a stroke of authenticity, painting a canvas that’s as Indian as the warm, golden embrace of the afternoon sun.
A Culinary Canvas
The culinary offerings, a meticulous orchestration by Chefs Pabaney and Choudhary, are not just meals but palettes where Indian ingredients waltz in flawless synchrony. From the tangy revelation of the Baked Mirchi Salan to the homey embrace of the Mix Veggie Cutlet and the fiery melody of the Shroom Tikka, every dish is a sonnet, a lyrical expression of the regional flavors of India.
Dine in the Lap of Luxury
Yet, the elegance isn’t confined to the plate. The experience is heightened by the aesthetic allure of the cocktails served in earthen pots, crafted meticulously by local artisans. Every sip, a harmonious blend of taste and visual delight. Every bite, a tribute to the traditional and contemporary, the local and the global, the classic and the innovative.
A Journey Across Regions
Each dish, from the Kerala Roast Chicken's tender embrace to the fiery revelation of the Shroom Tikka, is a journey. The menu takes you through the valleys of Uttar Pradesh with the Chicken Nihari Kulcha, to the spicy terrains of Tamil Nadu with the Chettinad Mutton Seekh. Desserts like Gur Kulcha don’t just satisfy your sweet tooth but transport you to the nutty, sweet landscapes of North India.
The Monkey Bar Experience
With outlets in New Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Mumbai, each visit to Monkey Bar is not just a dining experience but a sensory journey.

Singh Sahib has introduced Mehr-o-Mah, a new intimate dining destination in Gurugram that reimagines slow, immersive dining through the lens of royal Indian elegance. Conceptualised as a sanctuary away from the city’s pace, Mehr-o-Mah invites diners into a space where calm, craftsmanship, and culinary storytelling take centre stage.
Inspired by centuries-old mirror-work traditions, Mehr-o-Mah is designed as a candle-lit retreat adorned with lakhs of hand-set mirror fragments. These delicate reflections create a warm, hushed glow, setting the tone for an unhurried and deeply personal dining experience. The space is crafted to encourage stillness, allowing guests to linger and engage with each moment at ease.
At the heart of Mehr-o-Mah is a five-course, chef-curated tasting menu, thoughtfully pre-set to unfold like a ceremonial journey. The menu showcases layered flavours and regional inspirations, with dishes such as Sahjan ka Shorba, Chettinad Kozhi Rasam, Nawabi Gucchi, Murgh Shahi Neelam Tikka, Mehr-o-Mah Mutton Curry, and the delicate Daulat ki Chaat. Each course is served at a measured pace, accompanied by refined alcohol-free beverages designed to complement the flavours with balance and restraint.
Blending heritage with contemporary finesse, Mehr-o-Mah is envisioned for discerning diners seeking intimacy, elegance, and depth beyond conventional fine dining. With its focus on ritual, storytelling, and sensory detail, Mehr-o-Mah sets a new benchmark for experiential dining in Gurugram, where every evening feels quietly celebratory and thoughtfully composed.

Medusa Beverages, one of India’s fastest-growing homegrown beer brands, has announced the launch of its draught beer offering in Delhi. The move marks a strategic step towards strengthening the brand’s on-trade and HORECA presence by delivering fresher pours, improved consistency, and a more immersive pub and bar experience.
The launch comes at a time when urban consumers are increasingly gravitating towards experience-driven social drinking formats, positioning draught beer as a key growth lever for Medusa’s B2B and experiential expansion. Delhi remains the brand’s strongest and most mature market. In FY25, the city contributed approximately 5.4 lakh cases and accounted for over 10% market share, reinforcing Medusa’s foothold in one of India’s most competitive beer markets.
Building on this momentum, the draught beer rollout is designed to deepen consumer engagement across high-traffic on-trade environments. The offering uses Lindr ‘Naked’ taps imported from the Czech Republic, a country globally recognised for its beer culture and dispensing expertise. These taps are designed to deliver a smooth and consistent pour while maintaining the ideal serving temperature.
Commenting on the launch, Avneet Singh, Founder and CEO, Medusa Beverages, said, “Draught beer allows us to elevate how consumers experience Medusa in social settings. It gives us greater control over quality at the point of consumption while helping us build stronger engagement within pubs and bars. The introduction of draught beer is purely to enhance the consumer experience, whether through fresh pours, better consistency, or stronger engagement at the point of consumption. By integrating Lindr taps, we ensure every pour is fresh, smooth, and served at the perfect temperature.”
The draught beer will be rolled out across select hotels, restaurants, cafés, pubs, and bars in the capital, with plans to expand to around 50 outlets in the coming months. The move further reinforces Medusa’s experience-led approach to brand building within the on-trade ecosystem.
As Delhi’s nightlife continues to evolve, the city presents an ideal launch market for draught beer. Medusa, known for disrupting the Indian beer market with its mid-strength positioning, is extending Medusa AIR into the draught segment. With 4.5% alcohol content, Medusa AIR is crafted for smooth, easy drinking without compromising on taste, making it well suited for longer, social sessions. The draught format invites consumers to experience what the brand calls the “Smoothest Air.”
