Whether dining at a Haldiram’s outlet or ordering online, customers can indulge in a delightful feast that celebrates the spirit of Navratri in every bite.


Midweek, Reimagined: Lyla Bombay Launches Candlelight Singalong Wednesdays

Midweek, Reimagined: Lyla Bombay Launches Candlelight Singalong Wednesdays

Published on April 3, 2026

Two years since opening its doors, Lyla Bombay continues to evolve its identity, this time by turning its focus to something more intimate and experience-driven. Marking its second anniversary, the restaurant introduces Candlelight Singalong Wednesdays, a weekly ritual designed to transform the rhythm of midweek evenings.

Set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s bustling business district, Lyla shifts gears as the sun sets. Lights dim, candlelight takes over, and the space transitions into a setting that feels personal and unstructured. The experience moves beyond the format of a traditional performance, creating an environment where the line between artist and audience softens, allowing guests to become a part of the moment.

The concept sits somewhere between a live music session and a singalong, not quite a concert, not quite karaoke. Instead, it leans into a shared, easy energy where familiar songs fill the room and strangers find connection through music. The result is an atmosphere that feels spontaneous, warm, and quietly electric.

Complementing the experience is Lyla’s thoughtfully curated menu, featuring dishes that balance comfort with indulgence. Standout offerings such as Prawns Moilee, truffle mushroom risotto, and the restaurant’s signature stuffed ravioli add depth to the evening, aligning seamlessly with the relaxed yet elevated tone of the event.

Candlelight Singalong Wednesdays form part of a larger anniversary chapter for Lyla, which also introduces a refreshed, globally inspired all-day dining menu alongside an expanded lineup of weekend experiences. The idea is simple yet intentional, to create a space that adapts to the pace of its guests, whether they arrive for a quiet morning or stay through a lively evening.

With this new offering, Lyla Bombay positions itself not just as a dining destination, but as a space where moments unfold naturally, turning an ordinary Wednesday into something worth returning for.

Commune is set to elevate weekend dining with the launch of its much-anticipated Sunday Brunch series, kicking off on April 5, 2026, with a specially curated Easter edition. Envisioned as a recurring weekly experience, the brunch blends indulgent food, live entertainment, and a relaxed, social atmosphere.

The Easter launch sets the tone with a thoughtfully curated spread that balances freshness and comfort. Guests can explore a variety of salads including Mediterranean couscous and quinoa avocado, alongside small plates such as herb and cheese stuffed mushrooms and tempura vegetables. The mains bring together global and regional flavours, featuring dishes like Ratatouille vegetable steak, Thai Panang curry, Laal Maas, and slow-roasted chicken.

Enhancing the experience further are a dedicated live counter and a grazing table, offering guests an interactive and immersive way to enjoy the meal.

In keeping with the festive spirit, the dessert selection introduces playful Easter-inspired highlights. From hot cross buns pudding and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting to golden Easter eggs with mango-coconut ganache and Royal Kunafa, the menu adds a celebratory finish to the afternoon.

Beyond the food, the brunch experience is designed to encourage guests to slow down and connect. Live singing performances every Sunday add a vibrant yet easy-going energy, transforming the brunch into a leisurely social gathering rather than just a meal.

Commune’s Sunday Brunch aims to become a go-to weekend ritual, offering a space where guests can unwind, indulge, and enjoy a thoughtfully curated dining experience
