Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel is all set to take guests on a flavourful journey through Kashmir with ‘Koushur Saal’, a special dining experience curated by Chef Rahul Wali, a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef known for reviving traditional Kashmiri Pandit cuisine. The five-day pop-up will be hosted at Feast, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant.
True to its name Koushur Saal, meaning “Kashmiri Feast” the event brings to Hyderabad a cuisine that’s elegant, rare, and deeply rooted in heritage. Unlike the widely known Wazwan, Kashmiri Pandit cuisine stands out for its gentle use of spices like fennel and asafoetida, and for its signature style that avoids onion and garlic. It’s a fine balance of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, featuring local favourites such as Haakh, Knolkhol, Amaranth leaves, and lotus stem.
The specially designed menu offers a beautiful mix of flavours from the aromatic Rogan Josh, Mutz (minced meatballs), Qaliya, and Kabargah to vegetarian delights like Chaaman Qaliya, Dum Aloo, Mujj Gaad (fish with radish), and Nadru Yakhni (lotus stem in yoghurt curry). No Kashmiri meal is complete without Haakh and a soothing cup of Kehwa, which rounds off the experience perfectly.
Chef Rahul Wali shared his passion for bringing this culinary heritage to Hyderabad, saying, “With Koushur Saal, we’re inviting Hyderabad to taste nuance, not noise. I want to break myths about Kashmiri cuisine and help people understand that our traditional food isn’t spicy, doesn’t rely on dry fruits in every dish, and represents one of India’s oldest culinary traditions dating back to 326 BCE. The cuisine even finds mention in the Nilamat Puran, an ancient text dedicated to the Kashmir region.”
Adding to this, Chef Satya Kumar, Executive Chef at Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel, noted, “A Kashmiri Pandit cuisine pop-up is a unique experience for a city like Hyderabad. Today’s diners seek more than just food—they look for stories, experiences, and cultural connections.”
In a city known for its bold and rich flavours, Koushur Saal offers something refreshingly different, a reminder that food can be gentle, soulful, and still unforgettable. The pop-up invites diners to slow down, savour, and connect with a culinary tradition that has quietly endured for centuries.

JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar has added a bold new chapter to the city’s luxury social scene with the launch of EL – The Portal to Elsewhere, a rooftop destination that redefines elevation through design, flavor, and imagination. More than a bar, EL is an immersive experience, a state of being that invites guests to rise above the ordinary.
The journey begins on the staircase leading upward, setting the tone for an experience suspended between reality and reverie. Once at the top, guests are welcomed into a world where architecture, light, and rhythm converge, creating an atmosphere both intimate and exhilarating.
EL unfolds across three distinct yet interconnected zones. The BubbEl Room offers an elegant Champagne experience perfect for quiet celebration. Moving further, the Indoor Bar becomes the heart of the venue, where premium spirits and elevated cocktails invite connection and indulgence. Finally, the Open Sky Dining area opens beneath a canopy of stars, offering global flavors and refined dining that feel effortlessly chic.
Driven by the philosophy of “Flavors That Travel,” EL’s menu acts as a passport for the palate, weaving together influences from Japan, South America, and the Mediterranean. Dishes like citrus-infused tiraditos, artisanal grills, and shareable tapas are designed for evenings that linger, refined yet approachable, bold yet balanced.
The bar experience, aptly titled “Elevated Cocktails for Another World,” takes mixology to new heights with creative spirit-forward concoctions. Guests can explore across three moods—Citrusy & Fruity, Floral & Herbal, and Strong & Stirred, each representing a journey of flavor and imagination. Highlights include the truffle-infused Enchanted, the smoky and tart Topamine, the aromatic Elixir, and the warming, nutty Asgardian, each crafted to transport guests from the familiar to the extraordinary.
Speaking on the launch, Sachin Mylavarapu, General Manager, JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, said, “With EL, we’re reimagining what a bar experience can mean within modern luxury. JW Marriott Sahar has always been synonymous with exceptional hospitality, but this launch takes that promise to new heights, literally and creatively. EL is designed to become more than a venue; it’s an experience that evokes emotion, curiosity, and connection through flavour, music, and design.”
More than just a new venue, EL reflects the hotel’s spirit of evolution, bold, dynamic, and deeply attuned to its guests. It symbolizes JW Marriott Sahar’s ongoing commitment to crafting experiences that are timeless yet forward-looking, rooted in excellence yet alive with imagination.
As Mumbai’s skyline glows beneath, EL stands as the city’s newest address for those who seek something beyond the expected, a place where evenings don’t just unfold, they ascend.
EL – The Portal to Elsewhere. Elevate Yourself.
