THE Park New Delhi has introduced Tyde, a new all-day dining destination that blends contemporary design, culinary creativity, and cultural inspiration into a single immersive experience. Positioned in the heart of Connaught Place, the restaurant is designed to evolve seamlessly through the day, offering distinct moods and dining experiences from morning to late night.

From vibrant breakfasts and business lunches to relaxed afternoon conversations, cocktail-led evenings, intimate dinners, and after-dark gatherings, Tyde has been conceptualised as a fluid space that adapts to the rhythm of its guests. The menu reflects this versatility, featuring artisanal coffee, wood-fired pizzas, Asian-inspired dishes, small plates, and a refined à la carte selection suited for both casual dining and special occasions.

The interiors draw inspiration from the geometric precision of Jantar Mantar and India’s deep cultural connection with water as a symbol of movement and transformation. Sculptural design elements, layered textures, deep indigo tones, and warm brass finishes come together to create an atmosphere that is both expressive and sophisticated.

A key highlight of the space is the installation titled “Dar Badar,” a sculptural brass artwork that introduces movement and visual rhythm into the restaurant’s design language. Complementing this are textile artworks inspired by oceanic textures, incorporating embroidery, zari, beads, mirrors, and metallic detailing to reinforce the theme of fluidity and depth.

Speaking on the launch, Priya Paul, Chairperson, highlighted that the restaurant reflects the group’s philosophy of creating spaces where art, design, music, culture, and cuisine converge to deliver distinctive hospitality experiences. She emphasised that Tyde continues the brand’s vision of offering experiences that go beyond traditional dining.

Parag Sahwney, General Manager of THE Park New Delhi, added that "Tyde is designed as a dynamic gathering space for both discerning diners and global travellers, with a strong focus on curated menus and thoughtful execution across every detail of the experience."

Sri Narasu’s Coffee Company Pvt. Ltd. is accelerating its expansion plans across South India, strengthening its retail and distribution presence in Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh after building a strong foothold in Tamil Nadu.

The century-old coffee brand has opened its first store in Bengaluru and is preparing to launch another outlet in Amaravati within the next two to three months. The move marks the beginning of a larger strategic expansion aimed at growing the company’s footprint across key coffee-consuming markets in southern India.

Currently, the company operates 78 company-owned stores and offers more than 180 SKUs across coffee, tea, and FMCG categories. Its stores feature a range of products including premium coffee blends, instant coffee, and freeze-dried variants.

As part of the expansion strategy, Narasu’s Coffee is also strengthening its distribution network, with plans to increase its distributor base from 42 to 150 by the end of the current fiscal year.

The company believes the southern market presents strong growth opportunities due to increasing coffee consumption trends across Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. Salem’s strategic location is also expected to support efficient supply chain and distribution operations across these neighbouring states.

P Sivanantham said the company’s long-standing growth has been built on values such as quality, reliability, and consumer trust. He added that while the company continues to expand, maintaining consistent standards and delivering value to consumers remain central to the brand’s identity.

Meanwhile, Srudheep S highlighted that the company sees significant potential in the southern Indian coffee market and aims to bring authentic South Indian coffee experiences to modern households across India.

According to the company, its expansion roadmap over the next three years includes strengthening retail visibility and supply chain operations across the country. The Bengaluru and Amaravati stores are expected to play an important role in driving this larger growth strategy.

Narasu’s Coffee also sees its instant coffee range as a major growth driver. Its portfolio includes products such as Pure Instant Coffee, Master’s Extra Strong, Insta Strong Coffee, and freeze-dried coffee variants catering to different consumer segments and price points.

The company added that its focus on maintaining blend consistency, operational efficiency, and quick product dispatch systems has helped strengthen consumer trust over the decades.
