EVE Arrives in Santacruz: A Stunning New Culinary Destination Unveiled

Published on February 24, 2025

Monarch Liberty Hospitality and Chrome Asia Hospitality proudly announce the opening of Eve's latest outpost in Santacruz. Following the success of its Powai and Worli locations, Eve Santacruz is set to redefine upscale dining with its signature blend of bold flavors, immersive design, and vibrant energy.

With Eve, the focus has always been on blending culinary innovation with breathtaking design, creating spaces where people don't just dine but truly experience. More than just a restaurant, Eve is an experience, seamlessly blending global cuisine, masterfully crafted cocktails, and an ambiance that personifies elegance. With a design aesthetic that is both sophisticated and inviting, Eve Santacruz is a space where every corner tells a story.

A winding staircase, lined with thousands of books, draws the eye upward, creating a striking visual and a sense of curiosity. This architectural centerpiece, coupled with warm lighting, rich textures, and thoughtfully designed seating, transforms the space into a haven for both intimate dinners and lively social gatherings.

The menu at Eve Santacruz is an ode to global culinary craftsmanship, featuring dishes that balance refined flavors with artistic presentation. From truffle parmesan fries and miso-glazed black cod to lobster risotto and charred burrata with heirloom tomatoes, every plate is designed to captivate the senses. The restaurant's commitment to quality shines through the premium ingredients, expert techniques, and attention to detail that go into every dish, making each meal a true gastronomic experience.

No visit to Eve is complete without indulging in its expertly crafted cocktails, which elevate the art of mixology. The bar program features contemporary classics with a bold twist, such as the Eve Martini infused with house botanicals, the citrus-forward Santorini Sunset, the smoked Old Fashioned, and the floral Midnight Bloom. With every pour and garnish, the bar team ensures that each drink is a masterpiece in both taste and presentation, perfectly complementing the energy of the space and the food.

Beyond food and drinks, Eve Santacruz is designed to be a space for every occasion. Whether it's a laid-back brunch, an indulgent dinner, or a high-energy night out, the ambiance evolves with the mood. Carefully curated playlists and live music nights enhance the experience, creating a setting that is as dynamic as it is refined. With a blend of cozy nooks for intimate gatherings and expansive spaces for lively celebrations, Eve adapts effortlessly to its guests' needs, making it a destination that feels personal yet endlessly exciting.

Eve Santacruz is set to carry forward the legacy of Eve Powai and Eve Worli, both of which have redefined premium dining with a blend of vintage charm and contemporary vibrancy. The inspiration behind Eve Santacruz stems from the success of its predecessors, which identified a gap in the market for a space that seamlessly merges exquisite food, stylish ambiance, and a homely yet luxurious experience. With its upcoming launch, Eve Santacruz aims to bring the same 'feel-good' factor to its customers, whether for a relaxed coffee break, a business lunch, or a lively evening with friends over cocktails. The restaurant's concept is rooted in offering a diverse culinary experience, innovative cocktails, and an aesthetically rich setting that makes it an Instagram-worthy destination. By expanding to Santacruz, Eve continues its mission of creating a unique F&B space that is welcoming, sophisticated, and perfect for all occasions.

Bringing Eve Santacruz to life was an exciting yet challenging journey. One hurdle was positioning Eve in a highly competitive F&B landscape while maintaining its signature charm. Santacruz has an evolving dining scene, and we wanted to ensure that Eve stood out as more than just another restaurant—it had to feel like a home away from home, just like our outlets in Powai and Worli. Expanding to a new location also meant ensuring brand consistency while allowing room for innovation. Eve Santacruz stays true to its multi-cuisine, feel-good concept but brings in menu enhancements and subtle design elements that cater to the Santacruz crowd. The goal was to create a space that feels familiar to our loyal patrons while also drawing in new customers with fresh offerings.

"With Eve Santacruz, we're not just launching another restaurant—we're bringing an experience that feels both timeless and contemporary," says Sumit Govind Sharma, Founder & Director of Monarch Liberty Hospitality. "From the way the space is designed to the way our menu and cocktails are crafted, everything is curated to transport our guests into a world of refined indulgence, warmth, and connection," says Pawan Mukesh Shahri - co-founder and CEO of Chrome Hospitality

As Monarch Liberty Hospitality and Chrome Asia Hospitality expand their footprint across Mumbai, Eve Santacruz stands as a testament to their vision of growth, expansion, and a commitment to curating luxurious dining experiences.

DeVANS GianChand Manshaa Wins Big at ISW Germany, Crowned "International Whisky of the Year 2025"

Published on August 1, 2025

In a landmark win for Indian spirits, DeVANS GianChand Manshaa has been crowned "International Whisky of the Year 2025" at the renowned Meininger’s International Spirits Award (ISW) held in Germany. The peated single malt not only secured the prestigious Grand Gold but also emerged as the top international whisky, outshining legendary competitors from whisky powerhouses like Scotland, Ireland, and the USA.

Out of 450 global spirit entries, only 11 earned the coveted Grand Gold, DeVANS GianChand Manshaa being the only Indian whisky to achieve this. This dual honour reflects the growing sophistication and recognition of Indian whiskies on a global platform.

The latest expression from DeVANS, GianChand Manshaa is the brand’s first peated single malt, crafted in the Himalayan region. The whisky impressed the international jury with its "long medicinal peat smoke, perfectly framed by citrus and spicy flavours." Esteemed whisky critic and author of the Whisky Bible, Jim Murray, praised it for its “charming smokiness, with peat in sparkling form.”

Crafted using pure Himalayan waters and shaped by the region’s distinct microclimate, GianChand Manshaa stands as a symbol of India’s potential in the premium single malt category. The win adds to the growing list of accolades for DeVANS, following their recent victories at the International Whisky Competition (IWC) in Las Vegas, where GianChand Adambaraa was named Best Indian Single Malt Whisky 2025 and Best Indian Whisky of the Year 2025.

“This prestigious Grand Gold and INTERNATIONAL WHISKY OF THE YEAR award at ISW Meininger, Germany 2025 is a great recognition of our passion, craft and commitment to quality,” said Prem Dewan, Chairman and Managing Director of DeVANS. “It’s not only a victory for DeVANS, but also a recognition of India’s growing role in the global whisky space.”

Speaking on the brand's journey, Dewan added, “GianChand Manshaa and GianChand Adambaraa represent two facets of our legacy, one bold and peated, the latter refined and elegant. Their success is a tribute to our team’s hard work and a reaffirmation of India’s place in the world of single malts.”

Currently available in Delhi and Hyderabad duty-free, both GianChand expressions will soon hit retail shelves in Haryana and Goa. These achievements underline DeVANS’ commitment to excellence and its vision to elevate Indian whisky to global acclaim.

For whisky lovers and industry insiders alike, this moment is not just a triumph, it’s a proud celebration of the craftsmanship and innovation coming out of India’s distilleries today.

Organic Bistro Redefines Clean Comfort Dining in Delhi’s Khan Market

By Hariharan U

Published on August 1, 2025

Organic Bistro has opened its doors in the heart of Khan Market, New Delhi, offering a refreshing take on clean, ingredient led dining. With seating for 40 and interiors awash in soft pastels and natural light, the space reflects the bistro's philosophy: serving thoughtful, flavour forward meals without giing in to dietary fads or trends.

Founded by Saru Khemka and Arjun Gupta, Organic Bistro isn’t chasing trends or packaging wellness in cliché. It’s a space designed for people who want to eat clean — without being preached to. The focus? Good food, clear intent, and zero compromise on flavour or warmth.

Chef Nishant Choubey, along with in-house chef Gourav Singh Mahori, has created a menu that’s bold yet grounded. Highlights include Purple Potato Dahi Vada, Peri Peri Chickpea Hummus, Jackfruit Haleem, Urfa Chicken Kebabs, and Achari Rajma Khichri with Torched Portobello, every dish carrying a purpose but none trying too hard.

“We’re not trying to fit into binaries — indulgent vs. healthy. Organic Bistro sits in the thoughtful middle”, shares Saru Khemka. “People can keep coming back — solo or social — and the food will always feel real and comfortin”.

The beverage menu is no less intentional, with cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and preservative-free teas and coffees, extending the brand’s commitment to clean comfort.

Chef Nishant echoes this clarity: “Guests today want flavour and freshness without feeling excluded. They care, but they’re not buying gimmicks. We’ve kept the menu open, balanced, and intuitive — whether you're in the mood for a salad or something soul-soothing”.

With plans to expand seating upstairs and a Chandigarh flagship next, Organic Bistro’s journey seems to be just warming up serving taste with thought and comfort without clutter.

Location: 38, Khan Market, Rabindra Nagar, New Delhi, Delhi 110003

Timings: 11AM - 11PM
