CYK Hospitalities, a leading end-to-end F&B consultancy, has recently curated the menu and helped launch an Asian Fusion cuisine restaurant, called PhoMo, in Model Town, Jalandhar. The innovative dining aims to reimagine Asian fusion cuisine, combining traditional flavors with cutting-edge culinary creativity. PhoMo is designed to captivate food enthusiasts seeking a truly engaging dining experience.

PhoMo exemplifies CYK Hospitalities’ expertise in crafting unique dining concepts. To bring PhoMo into a distinct dining experience, CYK offered its proficiency in Menu Creation, Staffing and Training, Procurement and Vendor Management, and Operational Excellence that reflect the brand’s values. This project is another testament to CYK’s dedication to delivering exceptional F&B solutions, merging innovation, sustainability, and cultural appreciation.

On collaborating with the owners at PhoMo for another innovative restaurant project, Simranjeet Singh, Director of CYK Hospitalities, said, “At CYK Hospitalities, we believe dining is more than just food—it’s an experience that bridges innovation and tradition. With PhoMo, we’ve created a space where cultural authenticity meets bold Asian flavors, offering guests a spiritually nourishing and palate-exciting journey.”

PhoMo’s founder Vidur Malhotra said “CYK Hospitalities has played a pivotal role in transforming our vision for PhoMo into reality. While the concept of PhoMo was deeply rooted in our passion for creating a unique dining experience, CYK brought their expertise to the table by curating an exceptional menu, optimizing staffing and vendor management, and providing operational insights that elevated the overall execution. A special shoutout to Chef Arastu Chaturvedi with Team CYK for working closely with us to refine every detail and ensuring it’s all crafted to perfection. Their professionalism and dedication has been instrumental in crafting a dining experience that seamlessly blends innovation with cultural authenticity.”

PhoMo’s menu boldly explores progressive Asian cuisine, offering dishes that harmonize authenticity with innovation. Signature creations like Sushi Tacos—featuring sushi-grade fish, avocado, and spicy mayo in crispy taco shells—and Burmese Tealeaf Salad highlight how traditional recipes are elevated using modern techniques. Drawing inspiration from Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, and Indonesian cuisines, PhoMo’s dishes celebrate the diversity and richness of Asian flavors.

The menu offers a premium all-day selection built around fresh ingredients. Guests can choose from breakfast options, healthy bowls, wholesome meals, and vegan dishes, making it suitable for different tastes and dining needs throughout the day.

Coffee continues to be at the heart of the ButterBrews experience. The café uses 100 percent Arabica beans and serves both house blends and manually brewed coffees. It also features guest roasters like Tulum Coffee Roasters and Ground Zero Coffee Roasters, adding variety to its coffee offerings.

Desserts and baked items are prepared in-house at ButterBrews’ bakehouse. Popular choices include the Basque cheesecake and cinnamon rolls, which have already become favourites among guests.

Commenting on the opening, Harsh Agarwal, Co-founder, ButterBrews, said, “ButterBrews, Aundh is our largest format cafe yet. We have built a stronger indoor experience and created clear zones across the cafe so guests can settle in the way they like. We want this to be an address people can count on through the week.”

Umang Bhimrajka, Co-founder, ButterBrews, added, “For us, coffee has always been non-negotiable. With 100 percent Arabica beans, house espresso coffees and manual brews that rotate speciality roasters, we are bringing a program that balances familiarity with discovery.
