The Indian culinary landscape continues to evolve with a harmonious blend of heritage and innovation. This week, two landmark events—one in Telangana and the other in Rajasthan—brought chefs, food lovers, and industry leaders together to celebrate culture, creativity, and community.
In Hyderabad, the Telangana Chefs Association (TCA) marked its 6th anniversary with a vibrant Culinary Conclave 2025, themed "Roots to Robots – The Evolution of Culinary Craft." Held at The Park, Hyderabad, the event was inaugurated by Chef Manjit Singh Gill, President of the Indian Federation of Culinary Associations (IFCA), and attended by top chefs, academicians, global dignitaries, and budding culinary students from across Telangana.
Key guests included Chef Vijayabaskaran, Chef MS Gupta, Chef Sudhir Sibal, Chef Dharmendra Lamba, Chef Vimal Dhar, Chef Nimish Bhatia, and marketing and cultural leaders like Mr Kamal Krishnan and Ms Maud Miquau. One of the most talked-about segments was the panel discussion "AI – Ruin or Rule the Kitchen?" which explored the balance between technology and traditional culinary wisdom.
TCA also hosted the Telangana Culinary League 2.0, where Regency College of Culinary Arts and Hotel Management clinched the Overall Champion title. Students from tier-2 cities stole the spotlight, showcasing the emerging talent across the state. The conclave also featured engaging sessions on regional cuisine, chef wellness, branding, and mindful cooking, adding immense value to the professional community.
Adding a warm social touch, TCA felicitated Youngistan Organization and Regency College for their life skills training for children in government safe homes. The day wrapped up with lively student performances, a grand award ceremony, and a much-applauded live culinary performance by Chef Sanjeev Kumar Patra.
Meanwhile, in Rajasthan, Rajasthali Resort & Spa unveiled a culinary renaissance at its signature restaurant, Jharokha. With a reimagined menu steeped in royal flavours, the resort is offering guests a taste of regal Rajasthan—revamped for the modern palate.
Dishes like Laal Maas, Jungli Maas, Ker Sangri, and Gatta Curry honour Rajasthani tradition, while globally-inspired offerings like Chicken Parmigiana and Mediterranean Quinoa Mix add a contemporary twist. For dessert lovers, Kesari Rasmalai and Moong Dal Halwa serve up nostalgic sweetness with a refined touch.
“This new chapter at Jharokha is a culinary tribute—crafted not just for the appetite, but for the soul,” said Mr. Vichin Sehgal, Vice President of Rajasthali Resort & Spa.
From the streets of Telangana to the palaces of Rajasthan, India’s kitchens are buzzing with passion, purpose, and pride—preserving traditions while boldly embracing the future.

Burma Burma, India’s much-loved Burmese dining destination, is bringing the spirit of Burma’s tea shops to diners with its new limited-edition menu, From Burma, With Tea. Available from September 1 to 30, 2025, across all Burma Burma restaurants pan-India, the promotion is a tribute to the country’s vibrant tea shop culture where steaming cups of milk tea and hearty snacks form the centre of daily life.
At the heart of the menu is the Burmese Milk Tea, a timeless blend of black tea, condensed milk, and evaporated milk, served both hot and iced. Variations include the indulgent Yangon Royal Tea topped with cream, the Creamy Bagan Tea inspired by bustling markets, the Iced Milk Tea crowned with a milk foam cloud, and the refreshing Coconut Iced Tea blended with coconut milk and custard.
To accompany the teas, Burma Burma has crafted an array of flavourful bites and shared plates that echo the energy of Burmese tea shops. Guests can enjoy Chin State Potato Croquettes filled with five-spice mock meat, spicy Corner Cart Skewers, and Cracklin’ Burmese Dumplings stuffed with shiitake and edamame. Fresh options like the Seared Tofu and Avocado Salad add zest, while the Tea Shop Noodle Bowl offers comforting warmth. For dessert, the Tea Shop Toast, honey-glazed bread soaked in custard apple milk with clotted cream, delivers a sweet finale.
Ankit Gupta, Founder of Burma Burma, shared, “Burmese Tea Shops are living, breathing spaces of culture, community, and culinary richness, where friendships brew and stories simmer. This menu is particularly close to my heart, as it recreates those experiences for our diners in a Burma Burma way.”
Curated by Chef Ansab Khan and his team after extensive research and collaboration with tea masters in Burma, the menu captures the layered traditions of Burmese tea culture while offering a contemporary flair.
Rooted in nostalgia yet designed for today’s diners, From Burma, With Tea is more than just a menu, it is an experience of connection, flavour, and the warm hospitality that defines Burma. Guests in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad can enjoy the promotion throughout September.

Ironhill Brewery, India’s largest microbrewery chain, has unveiled Zero Gravity AF, its first-ever non-alcoholic wheat beer. With this launch, Ironhill takes another bold step in its mission to craft inclusive brews that bring communities together.
Zero Gravity AF is designed to give beer lovers the same rich experience they expect, minus the alcohol. Brewed with precision by Ironhill’s master brewers, the golden wheat beer offers a smooth body with soft, bready undertones. Bright citrus and tropical fruit notes from Citra hops blend seamlessly with the clean bitterness of Magnum hops, resulting in a refreshing and aromatic drink that stays true to the essence of beer.
“Innovation at Ironhill has always been about listening to our community, experimenting with flavors, and creating brews that suit every mood and moment,” said Head Brewer at Ironhill. “Zero Gravity AF is crafted for those who love the beer experience but prefer to go alcohol-free, without compromising on taste.”
What makes Zero Gravity AF unique is its brewing process. While most commercial brewers make beer up to 5% and then dilute it with water to reduce the alcohol level, Ironhill has taken the natural route. Using a special yeast and carefully controlling fermentation, the beer is naturally stopped at 0.5%. The result is a full-bodied brew with the right aroma, texture, and flavour profile — unlike the diluted taste often found in other non-alcoholic beers.
The beer’s name, Zero Gravity AF, was chosen through an Instagram poll, making it a product of both brewing expertise and community spirit.
Perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual hangout, pairing with global cuisine, or simply enjoying a refreshing drink on a weekday Zero Gravity AF delivers a crisp, zesty, and sessionable experience.
With this launch, Ironhill Brewery continues to lead India’s craft beer scene, combining innovation, authenticity, and community engagement to create brews that leave a lasting impression.
